Hello, dear bride! Making your big day perfect involves paying attention to many details, and your makeup is not the exception. We know that to achieve a flawless makeup style, it is essential to have a consistent skincare routine. If your skin is not in good condition, your makeup will not sit well on your face. Therefore, we recommend you plan ahead and focus on what you need to treat. Keep in mind that there will be a notable difference between six months and a year, so the earlier you start, the better.

In this blog we will cover six steps – cleansing, Exfoliation, Brightening, hydration, and sun protection, plus eye and lip care with the best products we’ve worked with to achieve a perfect skincare routine. Please note that every skin type is different. We recommend scheduling an appointment with a skincare specialist to create a skincare routine tailored to your skin needs.

Cleanse

Cleansing your skin is a must-do to keep all the grime, oil, and impurities out of your face. We highly recommend cleansing twice a day, one in the morning and night to create a good foundation for your skin – Try cleansing complex by iS Clinical, $45,00, or, Squalane + Antioxidant Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil by Biossance, $32.00. 

Exfoliate

After your skin is freshly cleansed, exfoliation comes next. Regular exfoliation will allow your skin to get rid of dead skin and help with other skincare imperfections, such as minimizing blemished skin and breakouts. We recommend doing an exfoliation maximum twice weekly, depending on your skin’s needs, but be careful not to overdo it—too much exfoliation can strip away your skin of its natural oils – Try ExfoliKate™ Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, $78.00. 

Brigthen 

After exfoliating your skin, the next step is to brighten it. Applying a good serum that contains vitamin C will help even out your skin tone and provide antioxidant protection to enhance radiance – Try Vitamin C Serum, $19.00 with Ferulic acid, Vitamin E, and Jojoba oil to give your skin a brighter look. 

Hydrate

Keeping your skin moisturized is essential for a healthy skincare regimen. Daily use of moisturizers can offer various advantages, like hydrating and firming the skin and regulating oil production. By using a hydrating serum that matches your skin type, you can improve the texture of your makeup and achieve a smoother finish. It’s important to address any specific skin concerns, such as using pore-minimizing or color-correcting primers to address redness or discoloration – We recommend  Squalane + Omega Repair Deep Hydration Moisturizer, $60.00, for dry, combo or normal skin, and the Vegan Collagen Hydrating Setting Mist, $10.00 if you are looking for a lightweight moisturizer. 

Apply SPF

We need to be aware of UV and UVB rays throughout the year. UVB rays are more prevalent in the summer and can cause sunburns and skin cancer, while UV rays are more present in the winter and can cause skin ageing. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin, especially if you’re trying to combat hyperpigmentation and fine lines – Try DreamBeam SPF 40 PA++++, $40.00.

EYE CARE

The skin around your eyes is incredibly delicate and needs a lot of attention. We recommend to use a cream or serum that will keep it hydrated and reduce puffiness, under-eye bags, dark circles, and fine lines.- Try Caffeine eye cream, $10.99, or, Squalane + Marine Algae Firming & Lifting Eye Cream, $56,00.

LIP CARE 

Remember to take care of your lips! To achieve a smoother lipstick look, We recommend to exfoliate your lips gently – Try Exfoliating lip scrub with fine volcanic sand and brown sugar, $18.00 and follow up with a lip balm or hydrating mask for added moisture – Try Squalane+ Rose Vegan Lip Balm, $16.00.
