How to Get Your Skin Ready For Your Big Day

Your big day is coming up soon, and you want to ensure your skin looks its best. It might be nerve-wracking, but you can relax! There are a few reliable ways to ensure your skin is glowing and attention-grabbing before your special date. Here’s what to know about getting event-ready with the help of our skincare specialists.

1. See a Skincare Specialist

If you’re unsure what kind of skincare routine you should follow, or if you have any concerns about your skin, it is always best to consult a skincare specialist. A skincare specialist can help you figure out what products and ingredients are best for your skin type and give you some tips on how to take care of your skin properly. They can also recommend the best medical-grade skincare treatments for your needs. Schedule a consultation a few weeks before your big day so you have plenty of time to implement changes to your skincare routine.

2. Create a Skincare Regimen and Stick With It

Creating a consistent skincare routine is one of the best things you can do for your skin. Find a few products that work well for your skin type and use them daily. This will help your skin adjust to the products and make them more effective in the long run. Don’t forget to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin at least once a day, and exfoliate it every few days. We recommend products like our SkinCeuticals Simply Clean,  Conditioning Toner, and Daily Moisturizer. 

3. Check Out the Injectable Treatment Options Available

If you’re looking for a more drastic way to prepare your skin for the big day, you may want to consider exploring professional treatments. Injectables like BOTOX® and fillers can help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more refreshed look. Consult our licensed nurse injectors for more information.

4. Exfoliate and Moisturize Your Body

Exfoliation is the perfect way to eliminate dead skin cells and achieve a smooth and radiant complexion. Be sure to use an exfoliating scrub or body brush a few times a week in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Make sure not to be too harsh and consider using a gentle chemical exfoliant for your face.

5. Do Not Use Tanning Beds

While you may be tempted to get a little color before your big day, it’s extremely important to avoid tanning beds. Tanning beds can cause your skin to become dry and aged – and increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Consider using spray tan products recommended by your skin care expert

6. Do Not Experiment With New Products

You may be tempted to try out a new skincare or makeup product in the weeks leading up to your wedding, but it’s important to avoid doing this. Trying new products can cause irritation, breakouts, and other skin problems that you may not be able to get rid of before your big day.
