Spa before wedding?

Joanne, 6 April, 2023 at 10:30 Posted on Planning 0 4
Hello. This may sound like a silly question..... but is it advisable to have a spa day 1 week before the wedding - ie will it make it more likely I'll get spots due to being cleansed? Or am I over thinking 🤔

    I think the recommendation is no new skincare etc in the few months before your wedding. If you have been before for the same treatment (assuming facial or something to do with skincare) and were okay around a week later, you'd know roughly what to expect, but it isn't a guarantee. If you've never been to that spa before, never used their treatments etc I would probably avoid (again mainly skincare / facial).

    I think you'd probably be okay with massages and such. In fact it might be really good idea to have a massage or two! I'd just stay away from skincare stuff.

    Hopefully that helps!

    It is understandable to be concerned about getting spots or having any other adverse reactions before your wedding day. However, having a spa day a week before your wedding is generally safe and should not increase the likelihood of getting spots. In fact, a spa day can help you relax and reduce stress, which is beneficial for your skin and overall well-being. Just make sure to communicate any allergies or sensitivities to the spa staff and avoid any treatments that you have not tried before. Overall, don't worry too much and enjoy your pre-wedding pampering!

    Depends. Do you suffer with breakouts? Will you be having face treatments or literally just sauna and steam room etc?

    Totally worth it, in my opinion. The week before the wedding can get so hectic, with appointments, last-minute details, and nerves, so taking even half a day to unwind can make a big difference. I did a spa day with a couple of close friends a few days before mine, and it really helped me reset and enjoy the lead-up instead of stressing through it.

    If you're thinking of going, maybe check for a Thermea spa discount to make it a little easier on the budget. It’s a nice treat, and you’ll appreciate the calm before all the wedding buzz.
