The Best Bridal Skincare Routine For A Flawless Wedding Day Glow

"Brides should focus on hydrating, brightening, and strengthening their skin barrier in the lead-up to their wedding. Key ingredients should include hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and a plump, dewy complexion, vitamin C to brighten skin and even tone, and niacinamide for reducing redness, refining pores, and strengthening the skin barrier. Looking to improve texture?  Start incorporating retinol into your routine at least six months before the wedding to allow your skin time to adjust and minimise the risk of irritation or breakouts. Additionally, using SPF 30+ daily is essential to protect against UV damage and prevent hyperpigmentation."

TOP TIP

Keep in mind that we’re listing all the active ingredients you should use, but that doesn’t mean you should use them all and definitely not all in the same skincare routine e.g. it’s not recommended to use an AHA and a retinol together. It’s up to you to choose the products that will suit your skin needs and goals. 

TOP TIP

It’s important to note with any active ingredients that you should build up your tolerance to them slowly. If you’ve never used these ingredients before, make sure you start with a low dosage just once a week until you can slowly increase your usage without side effects. 

TOP TIP

Don’t forget, if you’re using any active ingredients in your skincare routine from AHAs, BHAs or retinoids, you should ALWAYS wear an SPF! No excuses!
