bridal beauty
sixmonths to go
At the sixmonthmark,many bridesmay still be quite blasé and not realise that they should have already started on their beauty journey. “Now is the time for brides to create a skin care schedule, including monthly skin treatments and an at-home regimen,” saysAnnet.
You should take a look at your clients’ skin, looking out for anyAcne scarring, sun damage or problemareas, and discuss with your client regular in-salon facial treatments, as well as advise themon the right home care regime for
them.This is also a great time for retailing as a client could be stocking up on the products needed to start their new regime at home too.
“Many brides understand that the obvious things such asmake-up, nails and lashes need to be in top condition so that they look as groomed as possible; the condition of their complexion is often something that gets pushed down the priority list as time gets tight and yet it is essential to get this aspect right if imperfections are to be minimised andmake-up is to look flawless in the photos – themainmemento of their day,” says Sharon Cass, Brand and EducationManager, Cosmeceuticals.
If brides are new to professional skin treatments,Annet suggests starting with a deep-cleaning option that will purge skin of debris, congestion and impurities. She also recommends using a claymasque to eliminate debris and congestion fromthe skin.
The stress of planning a wedding can also lead to sensitive skin. “Clients can often be more sensitive due to increased stress and workload in the run-up to a wedding and therefore amore gentle approach is often required,” says Sharon. “Two key aspects to address for a bride and their entourage is clear skin (brides are always terrified of spots on the big day!) with refined texture, and secondly deep hydrating and rejuvenation is needed to ensure a smooth finish on the day.”
American Idol tourmake-up artist,Monica McAlpin, also suggests that brides add a gentle exfoliant to their regular skin care routine and to further combat age-spots or sun-spots it’s important that they protect skin with an SPF each day, even in the Wintermonths.
Dermalogica recommend their Sebum ClearingMasque to eliminate congestion on the skin. It is a cooling, refining and deep-cleaning Kaolin and Bentonite clay masque that purifies, absorbs excess surface oil and helps to prevent break-outs.
If your client is also happy to introduce an exfoliant into their regime,Monica recommends Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant. “The natural rice bran in Dermalogica’s DailyMicrofoliant will help lighten pesky post-inflammatory spots and hyperpigmentation.” It microfoliates dulling debris and instantly leaves skin noticeably smoother and brighter.
Alternatively,Victoria Trueman, National TrainingManager at Comfort Zone recommends using an illuminating skin care product, along with brightening and whitening products to exude radiance and allow for a natural-looking, dewy glow. The Comfort ZoneAbsolute Pearl range is ideal as a brightening regime and for tackling pigmentation and transforming dull skin. It includes the purest pearl powder, an ancient Chinese tradition renowned for its precious anti-ageing effects, and vitamin C, favoured for its collagen production and illuminating properties. The active anti-oxidant ingredients visibly help to give uniform colour and protect the skin against ageing aggressions such as the sun, pollution and inflammation, leaving it younger looking and glowing for the big day.
For the bride and the mother-of-the bride who want to look their very best for the big day,Medico Beauty recommends that they begin a Dermaplan Rx programme to prepare the skin on the face and body. Dermaplan Rx is a professionally devised, technologically advanced skin health restoration treatment programme consisting of bespoke home care plans, corrective skin treatments and SKINutrition packages. The treatment plan brings together technologically advanced products with specialist knowledge, ensuring that healthy skin can be successfully maintained or restored.
Cosmeceuticals’Vitage® AgeDefence.
Alternatively, theVitage®Age Defence Lifting Treatment from Cosmeceuticals is an ideal professional treatment for brides and mothers-of-the-bride or groom. It has an instant smoothing and lifting effect, but its non-invasive approach means it is safe enough to use right up to the big day.
A unique professional mask utilises a combination of exfoliating plant enzymes and lifting actives to achieve a pre-party wow factor that’s instant. This can be taken as a one-off treatment before the big day, but a course of six masks will refine the skin texture sufficiently to reduce the risk of breakouts and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
For grooms who do not have the benefit of make-up,Vitage®Vitamin C treatment is ideal as an energising and balancing treatment that utilises stabilised, time released vitamin C and HyaluronicAcid to instantly hydrate, refine pore size and rejuvenate the skin to ensure the best possible skin condition on the day.
