Prioritize Your Pre-Wedding Skin and Hair Prep
While planning your wedding, it's easy to overlook the importance of pre-wedding day skin and hair preparations. We strongly recommend that every bride (and even bridal party member!) prioritize their skin and hair in the lead-up to the wedding day. It's never too early to start prepping!
Taking proactive steps in your pre-wedding beauty routine not only enhances your radiant glow but also provides a precious moment of self-care amid the wedding planning frenzy! We always recommend incorporating regular exfoliation into your skincare routine, this helps ensure that your skin appears luminous and photo-ready for the big day. Early consultations with a licensed dermatologist or esthetician allow you to tailor your skincare plan with ample time, addressing specific concerns and ensuring you achieve the stunning results you desire! We cannot stress the following sentence more; it is absolutely crucial that you avoid introducing new services or styles too close to the big day; wait until after the wedding to test out any drastic changes or services!
Pre-Wedding Skin Care Tips:
- Regular exfoliation is highly beneficial for maintaining healthy and glowing skin.
- Consult with a licensed dermatologist or esthetician for tailored advice as soon as possible; do not wait until the last minute!
- Schedule facials, peels, and use products based on your skin type that are recommended by your licensed dermatologist or esthetician.
Pre-Wedding Hair Care Tips:
- Regular trims to prevent split ends and maintain a full body.
- Consult with your regular hairstylist (or Updos For I Dos artist!) to create a personalized pre-wedding hair prep plan.
- Consider a pre-wedding blowout for smooth and dreamy day two hair that is just asking to be styled to perfection.
Seasonal Considerations
Depending on the length of your engagement, you may experience the extremes of different seasons! Protect your skin (face, neck, decolletage, and hands) with at least 30 SPF sunscreen during the summer months (but really all year long), and focus on hydration and moisturization during winter to avoid dryness and cracking!
Additionally, during the winter months, pamper your skin with rich moisturizers and consider incorporating hydrating masks into your routine for an extra boost of nourishment! Embracing season-specific skin care practices ensures your skin remains resilient and luminous, regardless of the weather outside.
Budget-Friendly Beauty
Taking care of your hair and skin shouldn't be a financial burden! Begin by consulting with your doctor for a referral to a licensed dermatologist, and inquire about potential insurance coverage for certain services and/or products. When researching services and providers, strike a balance between taking your time, but not too much time, to ensure you make informed, cost-effective, and safe choices. Though it might initially feel like an extra expense, consider this an investment in your long-term well-being! As you walk down the aisle, you'll be grateful to feel like the most radiant and confident version of your bridal self, thanks to your thoughtful and budget-conscious approach to beauty!
