Preparing Your Skin for the "Big Day"

“Your skin speaks before you ever say a word!”

The bride is ready to walk down the aisle!
Planning, planning, scheduling and more planning!  You cannot forget the most important thing…your skin.  Photos, venues, flowers, all the minor details, but what will everyone see?  YOU and how beautiful you look.  In the mixt of all the things you need to do schedule to take care of your skin.  Plan and prepare, create that special look, that only you will have.  Prepare the pallet (your skin) for natural beauty.

Start early, get a professional skin analysis and a “plan.”  The correct treatments and products will serve you best in the long run.  Even if you have a tight budget you can make educated choices that will last.  Most over-the-counter products give you a lot of fluff and not real ingredients, which costs more in the long run.

Don’t wait until the last minute and expect great results.  You should not do any skin treatments closer than a week before the wedding or bridal photos.  So much goes into your skin and this is a time of high stress and poor eating.  All of which affect your skin tremendously.

My skin care practice is holistic in nature; I can put together a plan with non-evasive treatments.  Micro current treatments which help with everything from acne to aging.  Skin analysis at no charge that gives you the plan to create the best skin possible.  Facials that are therapeutic and can help you de-stress along with removing dirt, toxins and congestion.  There is more to good skin care then most recognize.

Caitlin was a stunning bride!
Last year my daughter was married.  We planned everything from the flowers to venue and everything in between.  Accordingly, we also planned her skin care regimen, as she is more sensitive than most.  We were able to attack the breakouts from the stress before they became big issues. Her skin was a “beautiful pallet” that required only minimal makeup to make her look radiant.  The photos are stunning!

So, as you prepare for your very special day remember to start at least 6 months in advance with a professional esthetician which allows time for the creation of a plan that works with your goals and budget.  If you don’t have 6 months, a knowledgeable professional should be able to put together a great protocol designed specific for you.  Put your money where your skin is and enhance your beauty!
