Main St. Mount Airy, NC The Bride is Glowing…. Pre-wedding Skincare Advice Gorgeous glowing skin is a must for the bride on the day of the wedding. Certain treatments are safer than others when it comes to facials before the big day. You don’t want to wake up the morning of the wedding with red splotches or a huge ugly pimple staring you in the face. That would be enough to make any bride cry, making her skin and eyes even worse!! Avoiding microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and any other aggressive facial treatment is recommended. These procedures can be harmful to the skin, as they take off the top layer called the epidermis, and then the healing must begin!! One month prior to the big day, the bride should get a deep cleansing facial followed by LED light therapy to shrink the pores and heal the skin. Then the best facial for rejuvenation and for a beautiful glow is Microcurrent therapy, along with gentle all natural botanical products to nurture the skin. Microcurrent is a state-of-the-art antiaging rejuvenation treatment. It is a non-surgical alternative to facial cosmetic surgery, and it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as repairs and balances the skin tone. It can reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes to bring a brighter look to the bride. Two microcurrent sessions are recommended for facial brightening, with the first one week before the wedding and the second treatment, the day before the wedding. A licensed esthetician can perform these treatments in a relaxing spa environment. It wouldn’t hurt for the future bride to enjoy a relaxing massage before the wedding too!!
