Pre-wedding facials

Malyssa, on July 25, 2022 at 14:21 Posted in Beauty 1 10

Happy Monday future (and past) brides!

Who here plans to get a facial before the wedding?? Its something Ive been considering, since I'd love to have a fresh glowing face, but I have had like 1 facial in my life and was done by a friend who needed to complete her quota for her classes haha

If you have done facials before (or did one before your big day), what type would you recommend?

    Malyssa, I totally get where you're coming from! Like you, I'm all about that glow-up for the big day, but facials have always been a bit of a mystery to me. Funny enough, my first (and only) facial experience was also a favor for a friend in beauty school. Let's just say it was an... interesting experience! But hey, it's all part of the journey, right?

    Yeah that is probably a good recommendation.

    I did ultimately end up booking one for like 2 weeks from now, with a friend of mine who runs her own spa. I trust her to use good products, and really, my face will break out without trying new stuff, just living, haha but I did have a facial once and my skin was great after so I have good hopes.

    I've read that you should not try a new face products or facials 1-2 months before your wedding because you don't know how your skin will react and its my worst fear having something go wrong on my face right before my wedding!

    I feel you I get the adult my period is going to start acne, but every time I try something new on my face the breakouts happen until my face is used to the product. Some places offer an acne preventative treatment. I trust my MUA too but I always find no matter what there's always a spot that has concealer screaming out at everyone "hey you I'm a huge pimple in disguise". Smiley xd Also heard botox is a new thing for acne but I'm skeptical about putting stuff that might alter my face.

    This is my concern too, breakouts. Im not overly sensitive but I do battle a bit with adult acne and I just want the best skin I can have for my big day. I know my MUA will work her magic to cover and blemishes but hoping to have none at all you know?? HAHA

    Thanks for this! I know we aren't based in the same area but it'll be helpful to review this to get an idea.

    I am planning on doing one a month in advance because I am too afraid of breakouts. I barely have eyebrows so two months before the wedding looking at microbladding and eyelash tint.

    I am planning everything around my skins sensitivity this should give me enough time for my face to be cleared.

    So relevant to my thinking right now! I am a little over two weeks out and had plans to get one but not sure I should. I agree with Jacquie, give yourself time before to see how your skin reacts!

    I was looking at this place and they actually have a recommended facial to get pre wedding which is cool and helpful!

    What facial should I get before my wedding or big event?

    For the day of, we suggest The Sampler or the Oxygen Facial. A week prior, The Micro, The Works, or The Extractor (for men, The Blitz Man). Two weeks prior, we suggest having Micro-Needling, a Medical Peel or IPL. For best results, book a complimentary consultation three months prior so that we can create a personal facial treatment program for you.

    I was planning on it, but now don't think I have time. I really want to get one done 1-2 month prior to see how my skin reacts. I wouldn't do anything new to your skin the week of/before your wedding just in case.
