Let’s Talk About Your Wedding Glow.
We’ve had brides sit in our treatment rooms, months before their wedding, with a look of sheer panic. Between the caterer, the guest list, and the seating charts, their skin has fallen to the bottom of the list. They look at our facialists and ask, “Is it too late?”
Our answer is always the same: absolutely not.
Your skin is an amazing thing. It wants to be healthy and radiant. Sometimes, it just needs a little guidance to get it to that incredible, lit-from-within place you’re dreaming of for your wedding day. Forget the panic. We’re going to get you there.
Our founder’s whole career has been built on a simple idea: skincare shouldn’t be a punishment. It shouldn’t be a confusing, ten-step chore. It should be a moment of self-care that gets you real results. We believe in feeding the skin with incredible, nutrient-dense ingredients from nature, and then using science to make those ingredients work even harder.
So, let’s create your roadmap to getting your bridal glow in time for your big day!
6-12 Months To Go: The Groundwork
Okay, deep breath. A year out, or even six months, is the perfect time to start. This is where we build the foundation. Think of it like priming a canvas before you paint.
First, get into a rhythm. You don’t need a cabinet full of products. Just the essentials. A gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin. A serum that packs a punch. A moisturizer that feels incredible. And the non-negotiable: sunscreen. Every. Single. Day.
This is also the ideal time to see a professional. An expert aesthetician can truly get to know your skin and set you on the right path. It’s why Joanna developed the Triple Crown Facial. Using microcurrent technology, we can lift and sculpt your face over time. When celebrity clients have a big award show, they don’t just come the day before. They come for months. The results build on each other, creating a naturally toned and defined look that lasts.
What to use now:
-
Vitamin C Face Wash: This isn’t your average face wash. It’s a gentle, foaming cleanser that gets rid of all the grime but also infuses your skin with a dose of brightening Vitamin C. It’s a simple first step that makes a real difference in your skin’s clarity over time.
-
Daily Serum: If you do one thing for your skin, use a green juice serum. Mine is literally green. It’s packed with vitamins and chlorophyll and gives your skin this amazing, healthy-looking vibrancy. It’s lightweight, it’s hydrating, and it makes your skin look alive.
3-6 Months To Go: Zeroing In
Alright, you’ve got your routine down. Your skin is happier. Now we can get a little more targeted. What’s that one thing that’s bothering you? A little bit of sun damage? Some lingering redness? Fine lines? Now is the time to tackle it.
Exfoliation is your new best friend. Gently. We need to get rid of the old, dull top layer of skin to let the fresh stuff shine. But don’t go crazy with harsh scrubs. Think smart, not rough.
And please, don’t forget the rest of your body! Your glow shouldn’t stop at your chin. Get a dry brush and use it for a few minutes before you hop in the shower. It’s amazing for circulation and leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth. Your arms, back, and décolletage will thank you.
What to use now:
-
Rescue Serum: This is a hero product for a reason. If you’re struggling with uneven skin tone or old sunspots, this is your guy. It’s a potent, oil-based Vitamin C serum that truly helps to brighten and bring back that uniform, luminous look to your complexion. It takes time to work its magic, which is why we start now.
-
Exfoliating Mask: Once or twice a week, pop this on. It uses gentle fruit enzymes to nibble away at dead skin cells instead of aggressively scrubbing them off. It’s so satisfying. Your pores look tighter, and your skin feels impossibly smooth afterward.
1-3 Months To Go: Let The Glow-Up Begin
The countdown is on! The focus now is all about hydration, hydration, hydration. Plump, juicy, hydrated skin is what gives you that gorgeous, dewy look. It’s what makes your makeup sit perfectly. Dehydrated skin looks tired and flat. We want the opposite of that.
This is when you really want to lean into masks. Find 15 minutes, two or three times a week, to just relax with a super-hydrating mask on. Think of it as a tall drink of water for your face. It’s as good for your mind as it is for your skin.
What to use now:
-
Forever Glow Anti-Aging Face Mask: The name says it all. This is for when you want to look – and feel – amazing. It’s a sheet mask drenched in a serum that plumps and hydrates like nothing else. It’s our go-to before a big night out, and it’s an absolute must-have for a bride-to-be.
-
Rejuvenating Serum: If you’re scared of face oils, we promise this one will change your mind. It’s how you lock in all that hydration and get that gorgeous, glossy (but not greasy!) supermodel skin. It just gives you a healthy sheen that looks so beautiful and youthful.
The Final Week: Keep Calm and Glow On
This is it. The home stretch. The number one rule this week? Don’t do anything new! Don’t try a new product. Don’t get an aggressive treatment. This week is about maintaining the beautiful results you’ve worked for and keeping your skin calm and happy.
Stress is the enemy of good skin. So please, take moments for yourself. Take a bath. Go for a walk. Put your phone away. The calmer you are, the more radiant you will look. I promise.
What to use now:
-
Eden Instant Lift Mask: The morning of your wedding, while you’re having your coffee, put this mask on. It’s designed to give you an immediate boost—a little lift, a little firming, and a whole lot of hydration. It creates the most perfect, plump canvas for your makeup artist to work with.
