Consult a Licensed Dermatologist or Esthetician ASAP
Consult a licensed esthetician well before your big day. You can get personalized advice tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals. This will ensure you achieve the best possible results without any adverse reactions. You can choose the best products and treatments with professional guidance to reach your skin goals.
Avoid New Products or Procedures Within 60 Days
It is risky to introduce new products or undergo new procedures less than 60 days before your wedding. In the event of an adverse reaction to a new product or procedure, your skin may not have time to heal. This could cause you to be more stressed! Avoid experimenting with new products or treatments if your wedding is near. Stick to your skincare routine and don’t experiment. You’ll be grateful when you see your wedding photos!
Different Skin Types Require Different Skin Care Tips
Normal Skin
You probably won’t have to make any significant changes to your skincare routine if you have normal skin! Maintaining your skin’s hydration and health is important. The key is to maintain a consistent cleansing routine, moisturizer, and sunblock. Exfoliating regularly can keep your skin glowing and smooth, but don’t overdo it as you approach your wedding!
Oily Skin
It can be difficult to deal with oily skin, especially when you add the stress and excitement of your wedding day. Ask a dermatologist or licensed esthetician about products that are designed to combat excessive oil. Consider using lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizing products and incorporating salicylic or benzoyl-peroxide to control oil production and reduce breakouts.
Psst! Always consult a licensed professional prior to using any new products on your skin.
Dry Skin
For dry skin, moisturizing and hydrating are vital. Use a gentle cleanser that is hydrating and then a nourishing, rich moisturizer. Use hydrating serums such as those that contain hyaluronic acids to increase moisture. Consult a licensed professional to determine the best products and methods for combating dryness. A hydrating face mask applied regularly can provide extra moisture!
Acne-Prone Skin
It is essential that those with acne-prone, oily skin seek professional advice. A dermatologist or licensed esthetician can prescribe prescription treatments or clinical solutions, such as retinol products. Self-treatment with over-the-counter products can worsen acne or cause irritation.
Get Personalized Advice from Professionals
We want to give you some general suggestions to hopefully encourage you to consult a dermatologist or esthetician in your area for personalized advice.
