Your wedding day should be one of the most special days of your life, and it’s no secret that every bride wants to look and feel her best on this day. From the perfect dress to the perfect makeup, every detail matters. Skincare is one of the most important aspects of bridal beauty. It’s always a good idea to start an updated bridal skincare routine well before the wedding day.
Let’s look at some bridal skincare and makeup tips that can help you look your best on your special day.
Pre-Wedding Skincare

Two and Three Months
Two to three months before the wedding is a good time to start an extensive bridal skincare regimen. This is the ideal time to start regular facial treatments such as microdermabrasion, peels, and laser skin treatments. These treatments will help remove dead skin cells, promote collagen production, and rejuvenate your skin.
One Month
One month before the wedding, make sure that you are following a consistent skincare routine. If you don’t have a personalized skincare routine, now would be a good time to visit a skincare specialist and seek advice on a personalized skincare routine. This should include cleansing, toning, and moisturizing twice a day. It’s also important to exfoliate once or twice a week and use a serum that suits your skin type. A month before your big day is also an optimal time to get Botox or fillers if you have been considering them.
Two Weeks

Two weeks before the wedding, consider getting a hydrating facial to ensure your skin is looking its best on the day of your wedding. You can continue mild, non-ablative laser treatments up to this two-week mark. Additionally, if you are considering getting a spray tan for that sun-kissed look, you will want to do that around this time. Remember to get a trial tan or a skin patch test beforehand to ensure you’re happy with the shade.
One Week
One week before the wedding, it’s best to avoid any new skincare treatments or products. Instead, focus on hydrating your skin by drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid consuming too much alcohol and caffeine as it can lead to dehydration.
Day-of Skincare
On the day of the wedding, you will want to keep your skin hydrated and glowing. Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser and then apply a hydrating serum and moisturizer. It is a good idea to avoid exfoliating the day of your wedding, especially if you have a skin type that reddens easily.
After cleansing and moisturizing, if you’re prone to oily skin, consider using a primer that mattifies your skin and prevents your makeup from sliding off. However, if you have dry skin, a hydrating primer will ensure your makeup stays put all day.
Makeup Tips

When it comes to bridal makeup, best practice is to enhance your natural beauty rather than burying it under layers of cosmetics. Start with a lightweight foundation that matches your skin tone and covers any imperfections. This ensures that your skin looks radiant and natural throughout the day.
Highlight your cheekbones with a cream or powder highlighter, and add a touch of blush to your cheeks for a pop of color. When it comes to eye makeup, neutral tones work best for most skin types. Use an eye primer to make your color last throughout the day.
Also use a light touch with mascara. You don’t want sticking lashes or dark circles under your eyes by the end of the day. If your lashes are sparse, consider eyelash extensions, but experiment with them long before your wedding day so you have no trouble applying them. Finally, finish your look with a long-lasting lip color that complements your skin tone.
The Best Advice
After all of the preparation, remember that the most important thing is to enjoy every moment of your special day! There’s a reason for the old saying “All brides are beautiful”. Your glow of happiness will do more than any beauty regimen!
