LONG-TERM
WEDDING PREP TIMELINE
*THIS IS A LIST OF GENERAL PREPS DONE BY A LOT OF BRIDES, FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE GIVEN DURING THE TRIAL, ONCE EMMA SEES/TOUCHES HER CANVAS*
INJECTIONS
Filler + Botox
⁃ If you decide to start or have already started getting filler and/or botox, it will definitely help the look of the makeup on the skin, help longevity of products, and make a huge difference in photos!
⁃ While this is absolutely not a necessity for anyone, if you are someone who struggles with foundation settling in fine lines/wrinkles or if you feel like you have great lips but they disappear when you smile, a little poke might just help you feel your best on your special day!
⁃ When trying to schedule your injections to be perfect for your wedding day, make sure you give 4-6 weeks for possible dow
FACIALS +
TREATMENTS
Hydra-facial
⁃ This is a facial that literally EVERY PERSON and their mother needs in their life! No matter if you are extremely oily with acne or extremely dry and sensitive, this facial hits all the stops and more! A perfect routine facial that you add into your beauty regimen or a perfect one-time prep for the big day!
⁃ This facial covers every concern and then some! The power of the suction to draw out all impurities from the skin is gentle enough for any skin type! After pulling out the impurities from the pores, it gently pushes a cocktail of acids, vitamins, serums, etc. into the pores to deeply penetrate the skin.
Chemical Peels
⁃ While peels are not meant for every appointment or person, they are great for those who feel they need a little extra love from past breakouts/concerns! There are SO MANY types and levels to chemical peels, and must be recommended based on each client’s specific concerns and future skin goals.
⁃ Chemical Peels are a great way to get that fresh skin look! Depending on the peel and its intensity, there will be a level of peeling of the skin after the service and days/possibly weeks following. Peels range from little to no peeling after the service to extreme peeling, dryness, and sensitivity (think of the skin on lizards). No matter what level/intensity of the peel, ALWAYS wear SPF after receiving the service to protect the new layer of skin that is exposed.
Dermaplaning
⁃ This is a simple, short step that can be added on to any specific facial service that you may already be receiving or can be offered as its own facial! Dermaplaning is where the esthetician uses a fresh, sterile scalpel and gently removes the layer of dead skin cells and the peach fuzz. And before you go to google, the hair (peach fuzz) removed from the face will NOT grow back thicker and/or darker!
⁃ While this is just a small step to add into your facial, it is the ULTIMATE make or break for ANY makeup! Have you ever looked in the mirror after you’ve done your makeup and it looks fuzzy or cakey? It is probably because you have yet to know this little secret, just like our arms and legs our faces have hairs all over them! And no, not hair like a beard, think of a peach and the fuzz it has on the outside. Our faces have peach fuzz all over them, causing makeup to not blend, apply, or set correctly.
Hydra-facial with Dermaplaning
FACIAL BEFORE
WEDDING
1-2 WEEKS BEFORE
⁃ Looking to achieve the “Glowing Bride”? Schedule a hydra-facial with dermaplaning 1-2 weeks before the big day, for a fresh, flawless canvas!
⁃ If you are on a schedule with getting facials, schedule your facial within a week of your wedding day. If this will be your first facial for your wedding day, make sure to schedule your facial at least 2 weeks before the wedding day. (This is a general timing recommendation for the pre wedding facial. Depending on how prone to breakouts your skin is and how often you receive facials, PLEASE take into account and be aware of possible breakouts that may occur after facials.)
The "Daily" Essentials
SKINCARE
⁃ SPF
The "Nightly" Essentials
⁃ ASSESS & TREAT THE PROBLEMS
At night when we are sleeping, our skin is working overtime! Skin cells have the most turnover while we sleep as our bodies recharge and prepare for the next day, your skin does the same! This is the time to use your products with retinols/retinoids, with the fast turnover rate of the cells and how powerful retinols/retinoids are, the outcome and results will be perfect!
- MOISTURIZER EVERYWHERE
Ladies, gentlemen, children, others PLEASE moisturize from head to toe bed going to bed! By adding this to your regimen, you will truly see and feel a difference in your skin. If you experience scarring/old scars, bumps, or uneven tone with your skin, make sure to exfoliate in the shower then use lotion and/or oil before drying off with a towel.
The "Nightly" Essentials
⁃ H20
PLEASE, PLEASE!! While all of the skincare and beauty tips/tricks are lifesavers, if you are not hydrating properly none of that will work. Our bodies are primarily water and with living in the South, drinking water regularly will improve your skin more than anything!
- SPF
SPF EVERYWHERE! Sunscreen is the liquid gold, holy grail, magic in a bottle, but only if you use it and use it correctly! Using SPF on the daily is important but reapplying every hour is the most important to receive the full benefits. Little secret, as we age our necks, chest, and hands will be the telling factor of how good we look for our age. Remember this, everything you put on your face to help or protect it, do it for your hands, neck and chest!
Classic
LASH EXTENSIONS
⁃ Classic Sets are similar to a single layer of mascara on your lashes, very soft and natural! This is the perfect option for those who do not like “big and fluffy” lashes, but still want a little dazzle and definition to the eyes! Classic lash extensions are placed on the natural lash with a 1 to 1 Ratio, 1 lash extension on one natural lash.
Hybrid
- Hybrid Sets are similar to multiple layers of mascara on your lashes or a light strip lash, fuller than a classic but still soft and somewhat natural. This is perfect for those who like strip lashes but not the hassle of them or for those who LOVE mascara and just want to wake up with lashes and no worries! Hybrid lash extensions are small fans of lashes placed on the natural lashes.
Volume
⁃ Volume Sets are similar to strip lashes and just like strips they can be a light, soft volume lash or a big, fluffy volume lash! This is the perfect option for those who love lashes and/or glamorous looks!
