Want glowing skin on your big day?
A facial before your wedding is a great place to start
In preparation for your big day, you’re ready to pull out all the stops! From hitting the gym to getting your hair and nails done, you’re likely doing everything you can in the months, weeks and days leading up to it to ensure you look your best. In your quest for unveiling the best version of yourself, don’t forget about your skin. Even if you maintain a skin care routine, getting a facial before your wedding is important for prepping your skin for a face full of makeup—or no makeup at all!
“Facials before the wedding by a professional, licensed esthetician can help you navigate the right routine for you, whether your preference is to keep it as simple as possible or if you need a few extra steps to address stubborn issues,”
While your esthetician or dermatologist will usually “prescribe” a facial for before your wedding that’s best for your skin needs, it doesn’t hurt to know about your options going into it. Here, estheticians share the best facials they recommend for brides and grooms—and what you can expect from each.
Oxygen Facial
Enjoy the same qualities of DNA’s Classic Facial, combined with the one and only 100% organic and all-natural topical Stem Cell treatment. This facial incorporates progressive technologies to visibly lift and plump the skin. During this treatment, your aesthetician will customize a botanical peel appropriate for your skin type to maximize skin exfoliation. Micro-current therapy is used to lift & tone the muscles in the face and neck, followed by Infra-red LED therapy to calm redness and stimulate collagen production. Next, stem cells will be applied to your face, neck and décolleté, targeting the skin's natural DNA repair process and dramatically improving skin’s appearance. This is the ultimate facial with maximum effectiveness! Recommended for all skin types.
Collagen Facial
Brides suffering from ageing skin can opt for this treatment. Collagen helps the skin’s elasticity preventing fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment helps to replete and rebuild lost collagen, rejuvenating the skin and making it look younger. The treatment involves the usual facial steps followed by a collagen repairing mask.
LED Facial
Also known as Color Light Therapy, this type of facial uses four different wavelengths of LED light to plump skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and kill acne-causing bacteria. “This pre-wedding facial triggers your body's natural cell process to increase cell turnover and repair the skin, thereby helping with many skin concerns, from dull skin to acne scars, ”
Acne Reduction
Having acne prone skin can be super annoying, especially if acne decides to sprout up right around the time of your wedding. This treatment specifically targets ance to eliminate or at least diminish its effects. It involves steam and exfoliation followed by treatment masks which usually contain salicylic and glycolic acids. It is best to consult a dermatologist before going for this treatment.
V-line HIFU Facial (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU is a revolutionary treatment which allows patients to acquire a V-line face shape without surgery. It is a safe, non-invasive ultrasound treatment that uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift skin. HIFU energy penetrates and works deep below the skin surface without harming the outer layer of skin, stimulating the body’s natural renewal of existing collagen and creation of new collagen. As a result, a gradual tightening of the skin and tissue will occur, ultimately resulting in a natural V-line face shape with youthful-looking skin. Most individuals only need one treatment. However, some may benefit from more than one treatment (depending on the degree of skin laxity they have). The final result will be seen 2-3 months after the treatment.
