Preparing Your Skin for Your Wedding: A Complete Timeline
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life. Naturally, you'll want your skin to look its best! Preparing your skin isn't something to leave until the last minute. Here’s a detailed timeline and recommended treatments to help you achieve a flawless glow for your big day.
12 Months Before: Establish a Skincare Routine
Start early to give your skin the best foundation. Begin with a consultation with a dermatologist or a licensed esthetician who can analyze your skin type and concerns. Based on their advice, establish a daily skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen.
9 Months Before: Professional Assessments and Treatments Begin
Book your first DiamondGlow facial with a professional. Opt for a DiamondGlow Facial that aims to deeply cleanse and hydrate your skin. This is also a good time to discuss any concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or scarring with your esthetician.
6 Months Before: Treatments
If you're considering treatments like Morpheus8 or chemical peels, now is the time. Morpheus8, a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency, promotes collagen production and skin tightening. Schedule these treatments well in advance to allow your skin to heal and regenerate.
4 Months Before: Evaluate and Adjust
Revisit your Board Certified Medical Provider to evaluate the progress of your skincare. This is the time to make adjustments to your routine or treatments. Continue with monthly DiamondGlow facials focusing on hydration and soothing the skin.
3 Months Before: Fillers
For brides considering Botox and fillers, this is the ideal time to get them. Botox can smooth out wrinkles, and fillers can enhance facial contours. Getting Botox done three months prior allows time for any adjustments and settling of the products.
2 Months Before: Botox
For brides considering Botox and fillers, this is the ideal time to get them. Botox can smooth out wrinkles, and fillers can enhance facial contours. Getting filler done two months prior allows time for any adjustments and settling of the products.
1 Month Before: Final DiamondGlow Facial
Schedule your last DiamondGlow facial at least a month before your wedding. Opt for a soothing, hydrating treatment that will leave your skin plump and radiant. Avoid any harsh treatments or extractions that might irritate your skin close to the wedding.
2 Weeks Before: The Home Stretch
Now is the time to avoid any new products or treatments. Stick to your established skincare routine. Keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. Ensure you're also managing stress, which can take a toll on your skin, through activities like yoga or meditation.
The Week of the Wedding: Gentle Care
During the final week, focus on gentle skincare. Hydrate well, both inside and out. Avoid salty foods and alcohol, which can dehydrate your skin, and try to get plenty of sleep to avoid dark circles.
Wedding Day: Radiant and Ready
On your wedding day, use trusted products only. Start with a hydrating serum, followed by a moisturizer, and a primer to set the base for your makeup. Keep a blotting paper and powder handy for any shine control throughout the day.
By following this comprehensive skincare timeline, your skin will be as ready as you are for your big day! Remember, the key to flawless wedding day skin is not just in the treatments you choose but also in the daily care and early preparation. Here’s to looking and feeling your best as you walk down the aisle!
