Hey lovelies! With your wedding coming up soon, preparing your skin is so important to ensure that flawless, smooth makeup look you want. Everyone’s skin needs different nourishment so here is a guide to some of our favorite products and techniques that will make your skin glow on the big day!

Step 1: Cleanse Your Face

Whether you’re waking up after a good night’s sleep or getting ready to climb into bed, washing your face is a crucial step in taking care of your skin. If you have dry skin, a cleanser that hydrates and strips your skin of impurities is the way to go. La Roche Posay’s Gentle Face Cleanser has an oil-free, gentle formula with a milky texture that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and nourished!

And for all of you out there with oily skin, don’t worry! La Roche Posay’s Foaming Face Wash is better suited to take care of combination and oily skin because it effectively removes dirt and makeup. It has a refreshing gel-like texture that leaves your skin feeling fresh and rid of pore-clogging impurities. 

Step 2: Get Rid Of Inflammation

Maybe you weren’t able to get a good night sleep or you had to wake up early to start getting ready. Whatever the reason, no one wants to feel puffy on their wedding day! Using a jade roller improves the elasticity of your skin and reduces inflammation/puffiness. It also promotes circulation which will leave your skin with a natural glow! Another benefit to using a jade roller is that it helps prep your skin for any skincare products you use after because it allows your skin to absorb them better.

Using a gua sha is another way to improve blood circulation to your face and detoxify your skin for a healthier look! A gua sha can be used to sculpt your natural features and get rid of unwanted puffiness, especially in the morning. Using both a jade roller and a gua sha is like giving yourself an at-home facial massage, which is a perfect start to the morning!

Step 3: Specialized Serums

Using a serum after cleansing allows your skin to get additional nourishment and protection. There are many serums that target specific skin care problems including dry skin, discoloration, texture, etc. This next step in the skincare routine is an opportunity for your skin to get some extra love!

Skinceuticals Vitamin C Serum is a great product to offer your skin protection from the harmful environmental effects we experience on the day to day. It has been proven to help with the potential damage caused by the sun, metals, and pollution. It also brightens the complexion, helps improve firmness of the skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Step 4: Brighten The Under Eyes

No one wants dark circles under their eyes, especially on their wedding day! We know the morning of your wedding can be stressful but we want you to look and feel your best. The best way to get your under eyes ready for that morning ceremony and evening reception is by using some form of an under eye cream!

The Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm from Tula is a convenient, portable way to bring some life back to those under eyes! It tightens the appearance of the skin, reduces fine lines, brightens, and adds a dewy glow! Its compact size makes it perfect to throw into your luggage and keep on hand during the big day. It’s a great way to start the morning off right!

Step 5: Sunscreen Is A Must

One of the most important steps in your skincare routine is applying sunscreen! Sunscreen helps protect your skin from harmful rays and keeps your skin looking young and healthy, especially as you age! Even on days where it doesn’t appear sunny outside, you should still apply sunscreen!

The Ghost-Buster Sunscreen from Lion Pose is a great option! It doesn’t leave that dreaded white-cast so it’s a good choice if you’re wearing it underneath your makeup. It’s suitable for any skin type and leaves your skin looking dewy and hydrated!

Step 6: Moisturize To Lock It In

After carefully selecting the products best for you and applying them onto your skin, you want to make sure that the products get to work their magic on your skin. To do this, top off your skincare routine with a moisturizer because it seals everything in. 

La Roche Posay’s Lipikar Triple Repair Body Cream leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish on your skin. It hydrates and repairs your skin to help with dryness and texture. The formula also consists of prebiotics that help rebalance the skin. Another great option for moisturizer is the Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Moisturizer. It’s suitable for all skin types and helps target dryness and uneven texture in the skin. The addition of hyaluronic acid helps deliver a long-lasting deep hydration that leaves the skin looking plump and dewy. 

You’re All Set!

With just a few steps, you can have a skincare routine that will take care of your skin and get you prepped for your wedding day! Make sure to start taking care of your skin months before the actual day arrives so your skin is looking its best. Remember, commitment is key!
