HOW TO PREP YOUR SKIN FOR THE WEDDING DAY
The Importance of Prepping Your Skin for Wedding Makeup: Achieving a Smooth and Lasting Look
Your wedding day is undoubtedly one of the most special and memorable occasions of your life. As the bride, you want to look your absolute best, and achieving flawless makeup that lasts throughout the day is essential. However, the key to achieving a smooth and long-lasting makeup look doesn't solely lie in the hands of your makeup artist; it starts with proper skin preparation. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of prepping your skin for wedding makeup and discuss some essential steps to ensure your makeup lays smooth and lasts all day.
PRO TIP: Start getting monthly facials at the 6 month mark to get your skin wedding ready! Remember makeup can only do so much and proper skin care leading up to your wedding is essential for a healthy bridal glow.
Step 1: Exfoliate in the Morning
The morning of your wedding day is the perfect time to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing a fresh and radiant complexion. By gently exfoliating, you create a smooth canvas for your makeup application. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant to buff away any roughness or dry patches. Remember to be gentle and avoid over-exfoliating, as it can cause irritation.
❤️ I personally love the SEXAPEEL™ EXFOLIATION SPRAY from Sonia Roselle Beauty to gently remove all skin debris and improve my skin texture. ❤️
Step 2: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
Hydrated skin is the key to a flawless makeup application that lasts. Apply a generous amount of moisturizer suitable for your skin type, focusing on areas that tend to get dry or flaky. This step not only adds moisture to your skin but also helps to create a barrier between your skin and the makeup, ensuring a smooth application. Don't forget to apply a separate eye cream to keep the delicate under-eye area hydrated and reduce the appearance of fine lines and puffiness.
Prepping your skin for wedding makeup is a vital step in achieving a flawless and long-lasting look. By exfoliating in the morning, moisturizing generously, you create the perfect canvas for your makeup artist to work their magic. Taking the time to prep your skin ensures that your makeup lays smooth, enhances your natural beauty, and stays put throughout the joyous celebration of your special day. Remember, investing in your skin preparation will ultimately result in a radiant and confident bride ready to say "I do" with grace and beauty.
