5 Skincare Steps to Prep Your Skin Before Bridal Makeup

Your wedding day look begins long before the brushes come out. Great makeup sits on well-prepped skin, so we start our brides on a gentle routine at least three to four weeks ahead.

1. Cleanse twice a day

Use a mild, non-stripping cleanser morning and night to keep pores clear without upsetting your skin barrier.

2. Exfoliate — but gently

A mild exfoliant once or twice a week smooths texture so foundation glides on evenly. Avoid harsh scrubs the week of the wedding.

3. Hydrate and lock it in

A lightweight moisturiser plus a hydrating serum keeps skin plump and dewy under makeup.

4. Never skip SPF

Daily sunscreen prevents uneven tone and keeps your base looking fresh in photos.

5. Do a trial

Book a trial so we can test products on your skin and avoid any surprises on the day.
