The Best Pre-Wedding Facials for our Beauty Marked Brides
Written by: Gracie Gillis
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life! You’re the center of attention at ALL times, so glowing, healthy skin is a must. That starts with smart, well-timed skincare treatments. From deep exfoliation to hydration-boosting facials, here are our recommended facial treatments that will keep your skin looking its best, allowing your makeup to lay flawlessly on your big day!
1. HydraFacial: The Pre-Wedding Powerhouse
Instant glow with zero downtime? Immediately yes! The HydraFacial is a gentle, yet effective, multi-step treatment that deeply cleanses, gently exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. It's safe for nearly all skin types and helps clear pores, boost hydration, and improve tone and texture without redness or peeling. Ideally get this facial within 7 days of your wedding, especially if you've had it before. If you’re a first-timer, try it at least 2-3 weeks ahead to ensure there’s no sensitivity.
2. DiamondGlow: Exfoliation Meets Infusion
DiamondGlow is another favorite of ours! This treatment uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate dead skin cells while simultaneously infusing the skin with medical-grade serums, providing instantly smoother, plumper skin with a luminous finish. It's perfect for targeting dryness, dullness, uneven tone, and even acne-prone skin. A DiamondGlow facial can be done 5-7 days before the wedding, but we suggest doing a test run 4+ weeks ahead if you’re new to it.
3. Dermaplaning: The Smooth-Skin Secret
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz using a sterile surgical blade. It leaves your skin extra-smooth and makes makeup application absolutely flawless - exactly how it should be for your wedding day. It's quick, painless, and has no downtime. For best results, plan your dermaplaning appointment for 3-5 days before the big day, but, if it’s your first time, try it at least 3 weeks in advance to see how your skin responds.
Pre-Wedding Facial Timeline: Do’s and Dont’s
Carefully planning your skincare treatments is crucial, especially if you have sensitive skin or haven’t tried these before. Keep this timing in mind:
Within the Week of the Wedding:
Only if you’re doing gentle, non-abrasive facials you’ve done before.
For self-care or a “glow-up” touch-up if your skin tolerates it well.
Avoid the Week Of If:
You’ve never had the facial before.
You have sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin.
The treatment is abrasive (think deep exfoliation or extractions).
Your skin deserves as much attention as your dress and flowers so you don’t look back on your wedding photos with regrets. Whether you're booking your first facial or are a skincare girlie, it’s all about the timing. Message us if you have any questions about getting your skin wedding glam ready!
