Our Ultimate Checklist For Denver Bridal Beauty and Pre-Wedding Skincare
Your wedding day is one of your life's most memorable (and photographed) days. If you want your skin to look its best, we’re here to help you achieve your ideal aesthetic. Attaining a radiant glow requires preparation and a skincare routine that works for your unique needs–which can be tricky! Whether you’re building a new care regimen or want to treat yourself to additional services, we’d love to see you at our medspa in Denver. Here are our top tips to help you shine with confidence on your special day:
Start Early
It takes some time to see the results of your skincare routine, so be sure to start your regimen (and stay consistent with it) about six months before the big day. This will allow you to address ongoing concerns like acne, dark spots, or dryness. If you’re short on time, no worries–just start as soon as possible and put some extra focus on hydration and nutrition.
Consult The Experts
Consulting with a dermatologist or esthetician is key if you have skin concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or sensitivity. We can recommend and provide treatments to meet your unique needs, such as chemical peels, microneedling, or aesthetic injections. Whether you’d like to see us regularly or just for a one-time treatment, we can formulate a plan tailored to your goals and budget.
Stick to the Basics
Above all else, a consistent skincare routine is essential. For best results, focus on these four steps:
Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser morning and night to remove dirt and makeup without stripping your skin.
Exfoliate: Incorporate chemical or physical exfoliation once or twice weekly to remove dead skin cells and reveal a smoother, healthier complexion.
Moisturize: Hydration is vital for plump, glowing skin. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type (such as extra nourishing for dry skin or non-comedogenic for acne-prone skin).
Protect: UVA and UVB rays are incredibly damaging to the skin, contributing to signs of premature aging, sunburns, and skin cancer. To combat the adverse effects, apply sunscreen every time you walk out the door–and reapply it throughout the day. For best protection, wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Pamper Your Skin
Several weeks before the wedding, treat yourself to some extra pampering. Facials at the spa or at-home masks that cater to your skin type are excellent options. Have questions? Book a consultation with us to explore your options and find products to address your concerns.
Prioritize Hydration and Nutrition
What you put into your body is as important as what you apply to your skin. Drink plenty of water, reduce processed foods, and consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avocados, nuts, and salmon are excellent for skin health. Staying adequately hydrated can help alleviate the appearance of fine lines.
Final Week Prep
Avoid heavy exfoliation and experimenting with new products or treatments in the final week before the big day. Instead, focus on hydrating your skin with trusted products and getting plenty of sleep. A well-rested bride is a glowing bride!
With proper care, your skin will radiate joy and confidence as you walk down the aisle, ready to embrace the beginning of a new chapter.
