Big Day Beauty Tips

SKIN PREPARATION

Be consistent with your daily skin care regime

  • Schedule weekly facials (last facial one week prior)

  • Exfoliate 1-2 times per week with a gentle exfoliant

  • Eat hydrating fruits (watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries)

  • Don't over indulge in Iodine containing foods

  • Drink half your body weight in daily water intake

  • Keep your makeup brushes clean

  • Change your pillowcases biweekly (preferably silk)

  • Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 30)

Beauty Vitamins

  • Take vitamins to make your hair longer & shinier as well as glowing skin

    • Biotin- helps reduce hair loss & encourages nail growth (35 micrograms) // Found in peanut butter & bananas

    • Iron- low iron can lead to dull, thin and dry hair. Take daily supplements // Found in spinach, oysters & cashews

Exfoliate

  • Start exfoliating your body 2-3 times a week (3 months prior). Find a gentle exfoliant that won’t strip your moisture (I like sugar scrubs)

  • Have big pores? Add biweekly microdermabrasion

  • Don’t forget to exfoliate/hydrate your lips for that BIG KISS

HAIR PREPARATION

Proper hair care routine can include the below

  • Shampoo-daily for oily hair or every 1-3 days for normal/dry hair. Be sure to only use shampoo on the scalp. Conditioner~should be kept off the scalp & focused midshaft to ends

Should I wash my hair the day before my wedding?

  • For best results hair should be washed the day before & kept free of styling

What Products?

  • If your hair feels greasy start with a dry shampoo, and use a mousse & heat protectant prior to blow drying to add more hold.

Want to try a new color, cut or style?

  • Do it at least 6 months prior so you have time to make proper adjustments
