How to prep your skin for flawless wedding day makeup
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, so naturally, you want to look your best. With plenty of photos to look back on in the years to come, your makeup will play a significant role in your overall appearance. Of course, for your makeup to look perfect, you need healthy skin for a flawless base.
We’re going to explore some of the ways you can prep your skin so it’s ready for your perfect wedding day makeup.
Start early with a tailored skincare routine
Skin changes don’t happen overnight, so it’s important to start your routine early. We recommend starting your new regime at least 6 months before the wedding, but the earlier the better. This ensures your skin has enough time to adapt to the new routine and really show the benefits.
It’s also crucial that you learn about your skin type and how to address any specific concerns (like acne, dryness, or pigmentation). Knowing this ahead of time allows you to adjust your routine so that it targets your specific needs with professional grade skincare and build a healthy foundation ready for flawless makeup.
You should also make sure you use sun protection every day and gentle cleansers each night. This ensures your skin is protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays and that any dirt and grime built up during the day is removed before you go to sleep.
Hydrate inside and out for a radiant glow
Hydration is one of the most important considerations for maintaining healthy skin, both internal and external. In other words, drinking enough water is just as important as applying moisturizers.
By consistently drinking enough water, you help to maintain your skin elasticity, flush out toxins, and even reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Regular moisturizing alongside this lets you lock in all the benefits, and helps ensure your skin is as healthy as possible.
Professional skincare and facial treatments
Of course, there’s a limit to what you can do by yourself. That’s why you should also try to schedule regular professional skincare treatments. Choosing high-quality clinics can provide you with treatments tailored to your skin and tackle your specific concerns.
By regularly seeing a professional, you can also ensure you are getting the best information about how to care for and maintain your skin. Expert advice is invaluable for ensuring your routine is having the best effect, and can drastically improve your skin condition pre-wedding.
Avoid irritants and focus on soothing products
One key piece of advice is that you should avoid any harsh products and irritants for a week or two before your wedding day. Exfoliators, acids, and retinoids can cause irritation or flakiness, and the last thing you need is a breakout just before your wedding day.
Instead, focus on gentle, calming products like serums, face mists or supportive overnight masks.
