You want to look the best on your wedding day, and that includes flawless skin. You may be wondering if you should get a facial before your big day. There are certain do’s and don’ts of your skincare routine before your Georgia wedding. 

 

There are different types of facials that you can get, and all will have different effects on your skin. It is important to talk to a dermatologist or esthetician about the type of facial that you are getting. Not all products will be good for every skin type or meant for pre-wedding facials. 

Is a Facial Okay The Day Of?

You will notice that some makeup artists also provide facials on the day of your wedding. Should you take this offer? If it is a light or gentle facial, they may recommend it depending on your skin type. Super dry skin may need extra hydration for a pre-wedding facial. 

 

On the other hand, if you naturally have oily skin, a gentle wash before you put on makeup may be the best thing to do. You don’t have to pay extra for a pre-wedding facial; just use your favorite skincare brand. Having nice skin can help reduce wedding day stress. 

When Is The Best Time To Start Getting Facials?

When you start planning a wedding you also need to start planning your skincare regimen. This may not be on the forefront of your mind but it is important if you want nice skin for your big day. 

 

You should start planning your at home skin care routine and facial routine at least ten months before, if you are planning a fast wedding try to start at the minimum six months before the wedding. Getting a harsh wedding facial may end in bad results. 

A Timeline Of Facials To Get Before Your Wedding

There are multiple types of wedding facials you can get but not all of them will be good to receive the day of or before your wedding. Here is the ultimate list of facials you can get for your wedding and when you should get them. 

 

  • Microdermabrasions- If you have been focused on fine lines, wrinkles, and pores, this is a great treatment to get for your wedding. It focuses on exfoliation and removes the first layer of dead skin. Unfortunately, this needs to be planned months in advance because it is one of the harsher facials you can get. 
  • Oxygen Facial- Brides who want soft and supple skin should get an oxygen facial! This is one of the best facials to get before an event because it is the ultimate way to prime and prep your skin for makeup. You can get this facial 1 – 3 days before your wedding for the best results. 
  • LED Facial- This type of facial exposes your skin to light energy and is completely non-invasive. The light is absorbed through your skin and stimulates your cells. It will help give you a healthy glow for your wedding and should be done the week before the event. 
  • Chemical Peel- These peels get a bad reputation because they can leave your skin looking red for a little while. However, this is a perfect option to get months before your wedding. It can help with cellular turnover and hydration. Unfortunately, the redness can last for a few days and sometimes up to weeks. It is a facial that needs to be planned in advance. 

 

The best thing any soon-to-be bride can do is talk to a dermatologist or esthetician. They will look at your skin and help you determine which facial is best for your skin type. You can get wedding facials on the day of the event, but you will need to ensure they are super gentle and hydrating. It should be a prep for the wedding and not a full-on cleanse.
