Here is your guide to everything you’ll want to try (aesthetics wise) before your big day!
So, you’re getting married? That’s so exciting! There is so much just operationally and logistically that goes into planning a wedding, from picking florals, deciding on color schemes, and choosing who to invite, but what about your preparation? Don’t forget about yourself! Yes, you want your florals to look amazing, but what about your skin? Let’s discuss some options for looking (and feeling) your best on your special day!
LASERS
If you’re looking to have glowing skin on your wedding day lasers are a really great option. The IPL or Intense Pulsed Light is a fantastic laser to treat skin discoloration, unwanted sun spots, redness from broken capillaries, and even rosacea. IPL needs to be performed in a series of treatments to be effective, so you will want to get these started early in your planning. IPL is also a great option because there is no downtime. You can go in for an IPL on your lunch break and go right back to work. If you’re looking for something more intense you can certainly consider the CO2 laser for really dramatic results. The CO2 laser will require downtime and if you are going to try this laser it is important to plan this far in advance from your wedding day.
RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red light therapy is great for repairing skin and boosting your skin’s own healing powers. Some people like red light therapy to help with stress acne, rosacea, and even psoriasis. Plus who doesn’t need a little therapy after wedding planning?!
A GOOD FACIAL
Opting for regularly scheduled facials like a Hydrafacial or a Diamond Glow Facial is an effective way to keep your skin glowing, pores clear and stress acne at bay. The Hydrafacial uses an effective yet gentle method to exfoliate the skin to keep the skin glowing while also hydrating with potent serums specifically formulated for your skin needs. The Diamond Glow Facial uses a fine diamond tip to exfoliate the skin while also using a suction to clean out the pores. The Diamond Glow also uses hydrating serums to keep your skin glass like. We recommend a series of these facials leading up to the big day!
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
With so many things on your mind in regards to wedding planning, remembering to shave shouldn’t be one of them. Laser hair removal is an easy way to remove unwanted body (or facial!) hair. Most people will need 6-12 sessions to achieve full results, but many will start to see their hair thinning out after session four. Start this process sooner rather than later so you can totally ditch the razor for your tropical honeymoon!
Don’t forget to enjoy it! This tip is perhaps the most important one. Your wedding is going to be amazing, fun, and so special no matter what color scheme you choose or even if the DJ forgets that you specifically asked him NOT to play the chicken dance song. The best tip to looking your best on your big day is to live in the moment and enjoy it – nothing looks as good on a bride as a heartfelt smile. Enjoy and congratulations!
