You’re planning your wedding and want to shine from head-to-toe, so choosing the right skincare treatments for your big day is super important. The HydraFacial has become a go-to skincare treatment for brides because it deeply cleanses and intensely hydrates your skin, with zero downtime. However, timing is key when scheduling a facial before a big event. If you schedule it too close to your wedding, it could stress your skin, but if you book it too far in advance, the beautiful glow may fade before you say “I do.” Learn when the best time to book a HydraFacial is and why it should be a part of your wedding day skincare routine.
What is a HydraFacial?
A HydraFacial is a multi-step facial treatment that uses advanced technology to cleanse, extract, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin. This facial treatment uses a special handpiece with vortex technology that exfoliates dead skin, clears pores, and infuses your skin with serums that have antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid in them.
HydraFacial for Brides: Get Glowing Skin Before Your Wedding
HydraFacials are gentle and suitable for most skin types to improve texture, tone, and hydration before events or as part of a regular skincare routine. Many people notice their skin looks brighter, smoother, and more radiant immediately after the treatment. Results can last several days to weeks depending on a person’s skin type and skincare maintenance. HydraFacial is the perfect pre-wedding skincare treatment for smooth and fresh skin.
Prepped Face for Makeup
Makeup looks and feels different on dry, congested skin compared to smooth, hydrated skin. A HydraFacial clears away dead skin and deeply hydrates your face so your foundation goes on smoothly and stays flawless all day.
Custom Facial for Every Bride
Whether it’s stress breakouts, dull and tired looking skin, or fine lines and wrinkles, a HydraFacial can be customized for your skin type. Your esthetician can customize the skin boosters used on your face to target any skin concern.
Timing Your HydraFacial for the Perfect Wedding-Day Glow
For the best results, it’s ideal to start HydraFacial treatments a few months before your wedding. This gives your skin enough time to adjust to the treatments, especially if you need multiple sessions to address ongoing concerns and improve overall skin health.
Booking a monthly HydraFacial for two to three months before your wedding is ideal. This consistent facial treatment will deeply cleanse your pores and keep your skin fully hydrated. If you don’t have time for monthly treatments, even a single HydraFacial session can make a noticeable difference. However, we ALWAYS recommend trying a new treatment at least once prior to your final pre-wedding facial. Plan to get a HydraFacial no later than a week before the big day so your skin looks its absolute best.
How Long Do HydraFacial Results Last? Tips to Maintain Your Glow
Keep Hydrated
Be sure to drink plenty of water in the days after your appointment. Since hyaluronic acid (which is used in the treatment) binds to water, staying well hydrated helps your skin get the most out of the HydraFacial.
Retinol and Exfoliants
Post HydraFacial care, give your skin a break from retinol and exfoliants for a few days. Your skin was deeply exfoliated, so it doesn’t need extra scrubbing. Instead use gentle and nourishing moisturizers that help lock in hydration. Shop our recommended nourishing moisturizers.
Wear Sun Protection
Wearing sunscreen everyday helps protect your skin from damage caused by UV radiation, so it’s one of the best things you can do to keep your skin healthy. Also, freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun, so it’s especially important to wear it after a facial treatment. Shop our recommended SPFs.
