The Best Wedding Beauty Tips & Bridal Timeline
10 months before the wedding
Craft an easy-going wedding schedule
Congrats on the new ring on your finger, and the new ten mile to-do list. At 10 months, stress becomes visible in your eyes, in your skin, and your messy hair. This is the time more than ever to prioritize, with sleep and relaxation at the top of your list. You’ll be tempted to cram in wedding planning sessions during your every free moment, but if you don’t take time to breathe, it’ll show.Promise to stick to your bridal prep plan together
The buddy system works, and a little perk of marriage is that you get a buddy for life. Put your pal to work by making them hold you accountable to taking your makeup off every night, grabbing water instead of juice, taking the stairs… it’s the little things that add up, and you’ll return the favor by supporting their wedding prep efforts as well.Adopt a wedding diet that adds and subtracts
Diets all too often focus on what to cut and avoid, and an extreme change could actually be harmful to your health. Make sure to adopt a wedding diet that supplies you with a healthy dose of leafy greens and antioxidant rich superfoods daily. While it is important to cut back on sugar and refined carbohydrates, focusing on what to eat over what to avoid will give you a little extra willpower to help you forge through the next 10 months.8 months before the wedding
Tackle the bathroom cabinet
You’re probably considering moving out so you’ll have to clean the thing anyway… you might as well start now! Throw out expired skincare products (you’re probably holding on to more than you realize) and commit to starting a refreshed wedding skin care routine. However, make sure to replenish your bag slowly, and carefully. Ask for samples at beauty stores, purchase travel size versions of the products you’re considering, and try each item one at a time before any full size purchases.Work up a sweat and get the party involved
When every conversation takes a hard turn to wedding planning, it’s important to get your bridal party together in a way that’s both productive and fun. You’ll also be far more motivated to stick to your workout plan when #teambride and #teamgroom are holding you to it. Get the group together for a Zumba class or video chat a DIY HIIT class together. We promise that this is all way more fun than it sounds.Brow down
Even Katy Perry will attest that it’s the brows that set the face. Whether you’ve mastered your pluck and fill technique or are considering a first time wax appointment, secure and settle into a brow plan now. Take a visit to the waxing or threading technician you plan to use before your wedding, or stock up on the products you’ll be using on your big day and take a night to refresh and write down the drill.6 months before the wedding
Craft your wedding specific exfoliation and moisturization plan
The key to a dewy, natural glow that lasts is a sustainable, gentle exfoliation and moisturization routine. Transforming your skin takes time, and a promise of anything quicker will often create damage underneath the appearance of results. This goes for both you and your spouse-to-be. Adding a LUNA 2™ to the routine goes beyond exfoliation to nudge out impurities that lie under the skin, and when you’re ready to moisturize, the device will help the products sink in deeper. Here’s a sample routine catered specifically to handle stress related fluctuations and the pre-wedding tears that are bound to happen, and wreak havoc on your skin:- Remove your makeup. Adopt a makeup remover that breaks down the makeup for you. The more you tug at your skin, dark circles and fine lines are bound to take shape. Take care of as much as you can with gentle strokes and don’t worry too much beyond that - your LUNA 2 will take care of the rest.
- Moisten your face and spread a gentle cleanser. Make sure to avoid beads, oatmeal, any texture in your facial cleanser when using a facial device. For best results, use a foam cleanser or the Day Cleanser™ crafted specifically to support your devices efforts.
- Moisten your device, activate its Cleansing Mode, and cleanse. Glide the cleansing surface over your face in a circular motion for 1 minute. Keep a gentle touch as to allow the T-sonic pulsations™ to shimmy the dirt and grime from below the skin.
- Rinse and make sure to pat dry, pressing your face into a soft towel.
- Spread a facial oil or moisturizer. When applying either, use a soft, patting motion to apply the serum over your skin. This is a crucial step for all skin types - your body becomes encouraged to produce sebum in excess when it detects dry skin.
- Flip the device over and turn on the Anti-Aging Mode. Press the Anti-Aging side onto wrinkle prone areas for a total of 1 minute. For optimal after-cry rehab, bring on an IRIS™ to settle down any puffiness and redness.
