An Esthetician's Guide to Glowing Bridal Skin
Calling all fall brides! Now's the time to start thinking about your wedding-day look—and while no products can give you the glow that comes with being in love, we do think creating a skincare regime can give you your best skin yet. Below, our estheticians share glowing-skin schedule, plus her favorite products to take you from pre-wedding-day prep to "I do."
Pre-Wedding Skincare Schedule
3 months out: Schedule a facial and brow shaping, and talk to your esthetician about a skin maintenance plan. You'll want to develop a consistent home care routine now too, if you don't already have one! For your first facial, I suggest an Arcona Enzyme Peel or Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Treatment, for a facial reset to revive/restore and leave the skin breathing with a healthy glow and support and boost the efficacy of your home skincare.
2 months out: Come to Spot for a make-up consultation and schedule a follow-up appointment, following your personalized maintenance plan.
2 weeks out: Make sure to follow your maintenance plan! This might include at-home skincare treatments and masks, or in-spa treatments with your esthetician.
1 week out: Get your shoulders, neck and decolletage wedding-day ready with a Detox & Glow: Front & Back Treatment.
Week of: Get your final facial and sugaring/waxing treatments! And to ensure photo-ready nails, add in a Honi Mani & Pedi.
