Marriage is a very special occasion in a woman's life, and she will definitely want to look her best on this day.

Here is a overview of how to prepare for your special occasion

Let's begin with skin. The skin provides an honest mirror of our inner health and well being. I know it is a stressful time, but try to be aware of what you eat and drink especially five weeks before your wedding day. Water is vital at least eight glasses per day. I myself use a 1.5 liter of water to make sure I finish at least one per day. Cut back salty foods, fatty foods, and increase protein intake, and some greens. Exercise take some time for yourself to unwind, and stay focused.

Healthy skin will help you to look even more glowing and radiant. If you have severe skin problems you can consult me, and I will analyze your skin and make sure we clear it up in time for your wedding. Begin this five months before you're day. You want to use products tat can only be purchased under the supervision of a doctor. The active ingredients are higher and more effective than over the counter products or going to a day spa.

Procedure

The procedure I most highly recommend is micro-dermaplaning, not "dermabrasion", which can be abrasive. This treatment has no "down time", unless we decide you might need an extra boost by adding salicylic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, or perhaps lactic acid on top. That is why it is important for you to get a consult at least two months in advance of you're wedding day. If you have good skin you can get micro-dermaplaning three days before your wedding. It is that non invasive. I gently take the top layer of your dead skin cells off. Than apply a gentle enzyme mask, your skin is then cooled and soothed with fresh cucumber. An all natural rich soothing cream is applied, and mineral water is sprayed on to lock in the moisture. You will be amazed at the results! It is not the type of facial which gives you a glow for a day or two, it will change the texture of you're skin. Your skin will feel as soft and smooth as a baby's. All of my clients love this procedure because they can do this on their lunch break, and go back to work with out any redness just a beautiful glow!

From Bride Magazine

"It really gives skin a glow". Another new skin-smoothing treatment is the scary sounding but gentle dermaplaning, where a scalpel is used to scrape away dead surface skin cells. New York esthetician Laurie Lombardi says it has become one of her most requested treatments. "I did 10 today and nine were on brides-to-be", she says.


Make Up

Always try a trial make over before the actual wedding day. You want to feel confident that you achieve the look you want. In my opinion I think it is best to be yourself, and if your skin is glowing you will need less foundation, and powder which can sometimes look chalky by the end of the day or evening. You will not have to touch up as much. Mainly be yourself, you want to feel beautiful and confident. It is the one day that you will always reflect back on, and it usually the one photo or photos that will hang on your wall or sit on you're tables, so try to make it a beautiful memory. It is the "one day" of a life time.
