Pre-wedding beauty treatments/routines

I use Temple Spa products, they are amazing and my skin feels so much better. My MUA said you should have a routine for at least 6 months before, so I got the starter pack, is about £90 but has cleanser, toner, moisturizer and a face mask and lasts for 4-6 months so is good value IMO. I wont be having any other salon treatments, especially near the date for fear I will have a reaction!

Hello! I thought I’d respond to this as my business specialises in this area which I think could help!


We have an Event Fayre we are hosting with all of our suppliers mentioned below coming along. It’s at THE GRAND in Warrington on the 14th November. No ticket is required

BRHAIVE Weddings & Events (on Hitched)

Usually, the role of a Wedding Planner includes all aspects of the day – from Venues, Flowers, Décor, Ceremony, Reception, Food, Drink and Entertainment. They are widely known for helping to relieve all of the stress from planning a Wedding. But have you heard of a Wedding Planner who solely helps to plan you for your day?

We have created an Exclusive package which factors the physical appearance and mental well-being of our customers during the lead up to their big day. With years of experience in the Hair, Beauty and Fashion Industry, we realised when getting to know our customers during the Wedding Lead Up that there are crucial things missing from the typical Wedding Planning Experience. Having started in Industries where we value these things, it has beneficially led us into using our initiative and experience to find ways in which we can help fill the missing gaps.

We have teamed with a handful of award-winning and experienced suppliers to create our exclusive package, tailor-made for you. We work with top suppliers within the Hair, Beauty, Aesthetic and Fitness Industries whoare each here to help assist you personally during the lead up to your Wedding. You may be thinking, Do I really need a whole year for a beauty and health plans? Essentially, yes! Rather than the harsh detoxes or short-term cosmetic procedures, we believe in taking an enjoyable, effective, and long-term wellness approach to your Beauty, Cosmetic and Health regimes. In the end, building up small and sustainable changes whilst adding some self-care time and beautifying treatments along the way, leads to a far more confident body image and mindset for your best day ever.

Some of the incredible services from our suppliers included in this package are:

6-12 months prior to Wedding Courses for; Hair Growth, Skin and Body Tightening, Hair Treatments, Medically Preformed Aesthetic Treatments such as Fat Dissolving, Excessive Sweat Treatments, Collagen (Profhilo), Botox and Fillers. Skin, and Facial and Acne Treatments, Personal Stylists to help with the Bridal parties’ wardrobes for the big day, Personal Training, Online Coaching for Physical and Mental Wellbeingand Vegan Nutrition.

I’m also a bride myself and have started already with these suppliers 🥰 Hope this helps!

Skinnwise I've been having monthly facials and the week before my wedding I'm having a hydrafacial. I was skeptical at first but the difference has been amazing.

I put myself on a 'strict' skincare routine last year - before being engaged or anything, just to improve and take care of my skin - which gradually fell by the wayside, but since the New Year and with my wedding this autumn I have committed again to keeping it going. My fiancé jokes that when we go to bed he'll see my in an hour!

I had a copy of Caroline Hirons' 'Skincare' book which I used to devise my routine but she has so many articles on her website that I'm sure you could research things from there. I know research makes it sound scary, but I only mean understanding what skin type you've got - and therefore what products you use - and what products she'd recommend based on your age bracket.

My routine has most stages at night and I firstly do a double cleanse to take off my make-up (oil cleanser first, then jelly) followed by using a toner. Then I move onto an eye cream, niacinamide serum, hyaluronic acid and retinol before allowing that a few minutes to sink in and then applying my moisturiser. I used a mixture of Clinique, Glossier, No7, The Ordinary and The Inkey List. These products might not be suitable for your skin - for example, I use niacinamide as I have oily and historically blemish prone skin.

I'm sure if you look some things up you'll see, but just a word of warning that if you use a retinol you effectively need to build up to skin's tolerance to it as it can be quite harsh if overused so initially I did it every three days, then every other before applying it every night.

I'm very guilty of not doing this but we should always put an SPF on in the morning - something I'm trying to work on being very pale and ginger!

If you wanted to treat yourself to some salon treatments, I'd recommend testing them a few months before the wedding just in case your have a bad reaction to anything.

Hope that isn't too much information and something in there is useful!
