Bridal Skincare 101: Your Glow-Up Guide Before “I Do”

You’ve found your Prince Charming, the date is set, and your dream dress is hanging in the closet—cue the happy tears! Now, it’s time to focus on the most important thing: YOU. With the countdown to your big day officially on, you and your bride tribe are likely diving into hair trials, makeup consultations, and maybe even a few extra gym sessions. It’s exciting—but let’s be real, it can also be exhausting.

Somewhere between cake tastings and seating charts, you’ve probably made a silent vow to yourself: “I want that wedding day glow.” And that’s where we come in!

At Fully Faced Up, helping brides achieve flawless, radiant skin isn’t just what we do—it’s our specialty.

The Truth: A Bridal Glow Doesn’t Happen Overnight

Let’s bust a myth right now: there’s no one-size-fits-all miracle facial the night before your wedding. Glowing skin takes time, consistency, and a solid game plan. That’s why we create personalized skincare timelines tailored specifically for each bride (and yes, even your bridal party if they’re in on the glow goals too!).

With most treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, it’s crucial to factor skincare into your wedding planning timeline—just like you would with your venue or caterer. Because honestly, this isn’t just any day—it’s the day.

Why Pre-Wedding Skincare Matters

Besides looking luminous in your photos, a smooth and healthy complexion gives your makeup artist the perfect canvas to work their magic. Trust us, your foundation will sit better, your highlight will pop, and your entire bridal look will come together seamlessly.

Bridal Favorites: Fully Faced Up Treatments We Love

Here are some of our most-loved treatments by brides (and bridal parties) getting ready for the big day:

• Microchanneling – For smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and that lit-from-within glow.

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – Helps target redness, pigmentation, and sunspots.

• RF Facial (Radiofrequency) – Tightens and firms the skin, giving you that sculpted, lifted feel.

• Fractional Resurfacing – A go-to for mature brides or those looking to improve skin texture and tone.

• RF Body – Because the glow shouldn’t stop at your face! Great for tightening and contouring problem areas.
