My Pre Wedding Tips
Fill up your Facial Diary
A full and honest consultation with a Facialist is always a helpful starting point to establish a simple and effective regime to target your main concerns. It wouldn’t be advisable to try any new products prior to your wedding to ensure you don’t have any unwanted reactions.
Skin & Stress
The added stress at this hectic time could cause inflammatory conditions including eczema or psoriasis. A visit to a reputable dermatologist is advisable if this was to happen. Stress can also affect your sleep patterns which will impact on your complexion, leaving it sensitised and dull.
Skincare Regime
Even if your skin is not showing any signs of the above and is balanced and healthy, regular facials are always going to be beneficial. A good Facialist will guide you to which facial treatments you will need to ensure your skin looks it’s very best for the big day.
A simple and regular skincare routine at home is advisable. Regular exfoliation is essential to your routine as accumulated dead skin cells leave the overall appearance of your skin looking lifeless and prevents the reflection of light which brings that lovely luminous glow. Exfoliation also assists the absorption of the lovely nutrients and beneficial ingredients.
It’s important to concentrate on your face but don’t forget to extend your skincare routine to your décolletage. Being trapped beneath clothing, spritzed with perfume and exposed to the sun, which weakens the collagen and elastin resulting in the area looking older, therefore to include this area in your facial routine is essential. The skin in this area is generally more delicate than your facial skin so it’s better to opt for a facial exfoliator rather than a body scrub as these are less abrasive. An alternative option would be to have the Carboxi Express treatment which will help to renew the skin and promote more tone.
Feed skin from within
In addition to looking after your skin on the outside it’s important to take care of it from within. Try to incorporate a healthy blend of juices into your diet in particular green juices as these contains minerals which aid the lymphatic flow and prevent puffiness. Hard as it is at this time of celebration try to keep alcohol at a minimum as this will dehydrate your skin, strip radiance and undo all of your hard work!
By following the advice above you will be able to celebrate your clear and luminous skin along with your big day!
