Bridal Prep: Get You Skin Ready for Your Big Day
How We Can Help Get You Skin Ready
At Dermatology Affiliates, we offer many services that brides may want to consider to get glowing skin before their wedding.
Facials
Chemical Peels
Microdermabrasion
After any of these procedures, everyone should wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from discoloration and sunburn.
The Importance of Sunscreen
We encourage daily sunscreen use for everyone, especially to brides who want glowing skin! Brides should seek out a sunscreen that works well for their skin type and start using it months before the wedding. It would be disastrous to start a new sunscreen close to the wedding that causes you to have a rash or acne flare-up.
Cosmetic Treatment Tips
Some brides may treat themselves to facials regularly however if a bride is having a facial for the first time here are a few tips:
Get A Facial At least 2 - 4 Weeks Before the Wedding: When having a new procedure done you may experience an allergy, irritation, or acne which would be troublesome if it occurred during the week of your wedding.
Don't Experiment with Products Close to the Wedding: Skin allergies may occur from using a new or a tried-and-true product and the allergy typically takes several days to appear. No one wants to walk down the aisle with a red, itchy face. An allergic reaction can be treated and cleared within 2 weeks so don’t play it too close to the wedding day. We do not suggest trying anything new including new procedures or new products close to the wedding.
Be Cautious of How Your Skin May React: Skin irritation after a procedure may result in dryness, peeling, redness or skin sensitivity. This problem can resolved in a couple weeks as well.
Acne Flare-Ups: Acne can be a serious emergency wedding week. The general stress of a wedding may incite acne so let's avoid other contributing factors. The acids and enzymes used during a chemical peel or facial may temporarily clog the pores or they may uncover underlying inflammation, both of which could lead to pimples.

Week of Wedding Suggestions
If you are planning on doing a spa day or self-care day during the week of the wedding, we would suggest getting a gentle facial free of enzymes or peels and asking your trusted skin expert to use products that you have tried in the past. It’s not a bad idea to get a facial a few months before the big day and then stick with the same routine for your pre-wedding facial.
