Getting married is a one-of-a-kind special life moment. It is about the union of love, celebration and friendship, witnessed in front of close and far away family and friends. It is a decision that isn’t to be taken lightly, and with that comes an enormous amount of pressure that comes from planning, decision-making and everything in between. From the venue, photographer, makeup artist and the logistics of every guest, but both the groom and bride need to start new beauty regimes and routines months in advance to look and feel great!
Keep an eye on your daily habits
Let’s talk about stress. As wonderful a time as it is, it’s also an enormously stressful time too. Gathering more than 5 people in the same place at the same time takes commitment even for a simple dinner date with friends. Imagine having 50+ guests planning a weekend over your wedding day! So it’s not a surprise that both the bride and groom start to experience a high level of stress, something that our skin resents. Stress causes skin to break out, become hypersensitive, look dull and not-so-full of life.
Time management. Planning such an important event everyone wants to make sure there is no detail left out. And our fellow perfectionists and detail-oriented gals may suffer 2x more in this process. It involves long days and sleepless nights. And we still have to work our regular day jobs!
Bad diet starts planning also a BIG role in this matter. With so little time and so many details to figure out, I am sure it is easier for brides and grooms to spend less than three minutes in the drive-thru and get a quick meal than returning home and figuring out a healthy menu before any meeting to set up flower details. I would.
Wellness and Health should be the top priority
There are so many factors that involve Wellness left out when we are planning a wedding. As small as it could be, it is a whole process that we need to sort out and taking care of our body may not be one of them.
When I worked as a wedding photographer, I experienced brides begging to Photoshop face imperfections. One of them was even so tanned, that it was incredibly hard to deliver the gallery thanks to the amount of time that it took me to correct the tanned straps burnt in her skin. Especially in Alberta where the sun is so intense and the summer is so short that we all want to enjoy the outdoors: They did not think about how their skin would look on their wedding day.
There is a solution involving skin-prep months prior to the big day: Brides Glow packages. These facial series were thought for Brides that are one step ahead and are thinking about how their skin is going to look for not just their wedding, but the whole engagement/prior ceremonies happening before.
Best Skin treatments before your Wedding Day or Special Event
One of the best skincare procedures for Pro-aging and skin cell renewal is micro-needling, together with High Frequency and LED therapy is a great mix of technological tools that help us not just prep the skin but keep it looking amazing monthly. Because it is not just a party happening, there are prior engagements, religious ceremonies, and legal procedures happening. All these moments need us to feel and look great.
According to Daniel Martin, the celebrity makeup artist responsible for Meghan Markle’s jaw-dropping nuptial glow and on Rio Viera-Newton’s VOGUE Prepping Skin for Your Wedding Article, before your wedding, your skin care should focus on delivering layers of hydration and soothing ingredients to your complexion. Martin explains that the ideal base for wedding makeup is calm, moisturized, and firm skin, that way the makeup artist can focus more on enhancing your natural glow rather than concealing or correcting it.
You should focus on this statement to understand the importance of adding a series of skin treatments instead of filling your face with layers of foundation and concealer to hide impurities.
Get your skin prep for the big day
Our Skin Therapists at Skin High in Edmonton can help you set up a skincare routine and regime that will improve your skin’s face health months prior to a special event. Sticking to your series of appointments and skincare homework such as adding hyaluronic serums and cleansing your skin properly, will go further than asking to Photoshop it afterward.
Adopting whole foods and protein-rich dishes to your meals, exercising, and hydrating properly can give a boost to your skin as well as the skin treatment series followed properly.

It is here. Winter is finally here.
After forgetting the fact that we have to endure the next three to five months with extreme weather conditions, we are back in that time again where our daily schedule means work, Netflix by the couch, sleep and repeat..
