TO KEEP YOUR SKIN HEALTHY AND GLOWING
FOR YOUR BIG DAY
- AIM TO HYDRATE WELL (6-8 WATER GLASSES RECOMMENDED DAILY)
- MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET WITH ADEQUATE FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES; CLEAR HEALTHY SKIN COMES FROM WITHIN
- TRY TO GET 6-8 HRS SLEEP EACH NIGHT; eg. 10pm – 6am IS IDEAL 🙂
- NO JUDGMENT BUT PLEASE MINIMISE OR QUIT SMOKING/VAPING; IT IS A FACT THAT SMOKING CAN CAUSE SKIN TO LOSE ITS NATURAL GLOW AND LONG-TERM SMOKERS HAVE DEVELOPED A GREY SKIN UNDERTONE, AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DARK CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES
- WE RECOMMEND TO FOLLOW A REGULAR CLEANSING, TONING AND MOISTURISING ROUTINE (MORNING AND NIGHT); BUT TONING CAN BE OPTIONAL IF YOU CLEANSE WITH WATER
- IF YOU WEAR HEAVY MAKE-UP, CLEANSE THE EYE MAKE-UP FIRST WITH A FORMULATED EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER; NOTE: IF USING WATERPROOF MASCARA, THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF WITH OIL-BASED REMOVERS TO HELP DISSOLVE IT
- YOU MAY NEED TO “DOUBLE” CLEANSE: ONCE TO REMOVE THE MAKE-UP, TWICE TO CLEAN THE PORES THOROUGHLY
- FOLLOW WITH A LIGHT EYE CREAM – THIS PREVENTS FINE LINES AND WRINKLES APPEARING AROUND THE EYE AREA
- THEN MOISTURISE WITH AN APPROPRIATE MOISTURISER FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE
- APPLY A GOOD LIP MOISTURISER TO PREVENT FLAKY LIPS EACH DAY AND NIGHT BEFORE BED
- TIP: IF YOU HAVE FLAKY LIPS, USE AN OLD TOOTHBRUSH, APPLY VASELINE AND BRUSH YOUR LIPS GENTLY FOR 2 MINS
- EXFOLIATE YOUR FACE 1x WEEK – USE A GRANULAR SCRUB – FOR DRY TO NORMAL SKIN; CONCENTRATE ON YOUR T-ZONE, ESPECIALLY AROUND YOUR NOSE/NASAL FOLDS AND UNDER YOUR CHIN and
- FOLLOW THAT WITH USING A HYDRATING MASK – 2x WEEK FOR DRY SKINS; ONCE A WEEK (OR AS DESIRED), FOR NORMAL TO COMBINATION SKINS
- EXFOLIATE 2x WEEK – FOR COMBINATION TO OILIER SKINS and
- FOLLOW THAT WITH A DETOXIFYING/DEEP CLEANSING CLAY MASK 1x WEEK, APPLYING THIS TO THE T-ZONE ONLY (BUT NOT WITHIN 3 WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE WEDDING) – MAINLY FOR COMBINATION TO OILY COMPLEXIONS
- HOWEVER: DO NOT EXFOLIATE IF YOU ARE SUPER-SENSITIVE, SUFFER ROSACEA, OR HAVE ACNE BREAKOUTS
- IF GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY THERAPIST FOR A WEEKLY FACIAL, START LEAST 6 WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR WEDDING DATE SO THAT IF BREAKOUTS DO OCCUR, THEY WILL HAVE TIME TO CLEAR UP BEFORE THE BIG DAY
- DO NOT USE DEEP CLEANSE TREATMENTS OR TRY ANY NEW TREATMENTS/SKINCARE PRODUCTS WITHIN THREE WEEKS OF YOUR WEDDING DAY – IF YOU REACT, YOU NEED TO ALLOW YOUR SKIN TO HEAL ANY BLEMISHES THAT MAY OCCUR
- ENSURE ALL MANICURES AND PEDICURES ARE COMPLETED 1 DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING
- BEFORE FAKE TANNING: EXFOLIATE ELBOWS, KNEES AND FLAKY AREAS, THEN MOISTURISE THE BODY ALL OVER BEFORE GOING FOR A SPRAY TAN – THIS WILL ENSURE EVEN GRAB OF COLOUR TO THE SKIN; BEST TO DO THIS 1-2 DAYS BEFORE THE BIG DAY
- ALL CLIENTS AND BRIDAL PARTY MEMBERS: PLEASE EXFOLIATE FACE GENTLY AND APPLY HYDRATING MASK IN THE EVENING (NOT A CLAY MASK, BEFORE THE DAY)
- ALL CLIENTS AND BRIDAL PARTY MEMBERS: PLEASE SHAMPOO TWICE, AND CONDITION ONCE AND RINSE CLEAN HAIR (THE NIGHT BEFORE). UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED – ALL HAIR NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY DRY ON THE MORNING OF THE WEDDING DAY BEFORE HAIRSTYLING BEGINS, OR ELSE THIS WILL AFFECT OUR PUNCTUALITY
