Pre-Wedding Skin Care Tips (Part I)

Are you still doing good with your resolutions/goals? Have you submitted them to enter in my drawing? If not, you still have time.

'Tis the height for engagement season. Are you newly engaged or have your wedding coming up this year, it doesn’t matter what wedding magazine or website you look at, they are telling you similar things to get the best wedding day look. My experience in the industry of makeup, in addition to being a Minnesota License Esthetician, I would like to share with you from my experience, when and how to get your skin in shape for your big day.

First, you need to start with the basics: Cleanse, Tone, Treat, such as exfoliate, mask, and serums, then Moisturize. Get into a regular routine of taking care of your skin on the outside, as well as the inside, by eating right. You should also seek professional help to get that deep cleaning done every 4 to 6 weeks starting one year prior to your wedding date. A professional skin therapist will be able to extract those blackheads and clogged pores properly without scarring your face. A professional will minimize any discomfort while extracting and repairing any issues that you may have leading up to your big day.

While being treated by a professional, you may want to think about how you want your pictures to look, you do not want to have any peach fuzz. If you are little more mature, and have that unwanted hair, there are several things you can do to eliminate it...waxing, sugaring, or dermaplaning. Check with your skincare professional on what is best for your skin.

If you use makeup on a regular basis, make sure that you are cleansing your face every day, especially in the evening. Your skin cells renew from the stress of the day and free radicals (pollutants) at night. By cleansing makeup and other contaminants from your face, you are giving your skin the opportunity to renew, and prevent premature aging from occurring. The second part of your makeup routine, if using brushes to apply your makeup, make sure that you are washing them on a regular bases to kill any bacteria, that is harmful to your skin, that may be building up in your brushes. Brushes should be wash with dish soap or anti-bacterial soap and water at least once a week. After a good cleaning, let them air dry with the bristles down, to prevent mold or mildew from occurring.
