Say I Do to the Ultimate Pre Wedding Glow Up with Skin By Anel Lamine
Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and naturally, every bride and groom wants to feel confident and radiant on this special day. While makeup can enhance your beauty, achieving that natural wedding glow begins with the right skincare routine and facial treatments well ahead of your big day. Anel has over 25 years experience in skin and skincare and understands that every complexion is unique. Her passion and expertise combined allows Anel to be the ultimate guide to get you to a perfect skincare regime and facial protocol to ensure your complexion is flawless and luminous…
6-12 Months Before the Wedding
The best bridal skincare routine begins well before your wedding day. Ideally, you should start preparing your skin about 6-12 months in advance, giving you enough time to address any concerns like acne, pigmentation, or dullness. Your first step should be a professional consultation. At Skin by Anel Lamine, Anel offers Cur8ed Skin appointments where she conducts a thorough skin and product analysis to identify your skin type and concerns. This allows her to tailor a skincare regimen specifically for you, and your budget, ensuring you get the best results.
Once you’ve had your consultation, it’s important to maintain a consistent routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, and protecting your skin with SPF daily. There is only so much any professional can do if at home protocol isn’t kept. Try to incorporate products with active ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration, retinol to boost cell turnover, and vitamin C to brighten your complexion.
4-6 Months Before the Wedding
As your wedding day approaches, now is the time to focus on more intensive treatments! Depending on your skin type and concerns, Anel may recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or LED therapy.
If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or uneven texture, chemical peels can be a game-changer. They work by exfoliating the top layer of skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. For brides and grooms, we recommend starting with lighter peels and progressing to stronger formulations as your skin builds tolerance.
Microneedling helps stimulate collagen production, improving the texture and firmness of your skin. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, leaving your skin looking plump and youthful. Microneedling should be done at least 4-6 months in advance to allow time for full recovery and results.
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that boosts collagen production, reduces inflammation, and helps heal blemishes. It’s a great addition to any bridal skincare protocol, as it improves overall skin health without downtime.
2-3 Months Before the Wedding
With the big day drawing closer, it’s time to focus on facial treatments that deeply nourish and refine your skin. Regular facials during this period are crucial for maintaining skin hydration and addressing any last-minute concerns.
Two to three months before your wedding, hydration becomes key. Opt for facials that deeply nourish your skin with serums containing hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants. These facials boost moisture levels and restore your skin’s natural glow.
Light exfoliating facials like enzyme peels can help remove dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, luminous complexion. Avoid harsh scrubs or aggressive treatments at this stage, as your skin needs to be calm and balanced leading up to the wedding.
Final Countdown: 1-2 Weeks Before the Wedding
In the last couple of weeks before your wedding (eek!), your focus should be on keeping your skin calm, hydrated, and glowing. Now is not the time to experiment with new products or treatments. Stick to what works and schedule your final pre-wedding facial.
A gentle lymphatic drainage massage can reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and give your skin a sculpted, lifted appearance. This treatment is perfect for the week before your wedding, as it leaves you looking refreshed without irritation.
A professional brightening mask can give your skin a final boost of radiance. Masks infused with vitamin C or licorice extract can brighten dull skin and even out your complexion, giving you that bridal glow.
Ensure you’re drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep in the final days leading up to your wedding. Hydration is essential for plump, glowing skin, and a good night’s rest will help reduce any last-minute puffiness or dark circles.
On the Wedding Day:
On the day of your wedding, your skin should be looking its best. Keep your skincare routine simple—cleanse, tone, moisturise, and apply a lightweight SPF or moisturiser with built-in protection. Avoid overloading your skin with too many products, as your makeup artist will apply the necessary products for your makeup to stay flawless throughout the day.
These tips and protocol is your one way ticket to the ultimate wedding glow up! If you’re ready to start your skincare journey, book a consultation with Anel today, and let’s create a plan that makes you feel radiant and confident as you walk down the aisle.
