Bridal skincare favorites
Heeeeey future bride!!
As a professional bridal makeup artist, here are some of my favorite skincare products & tools that I LOVE for bridal and why I love them. Just click on the picture to buy!
If you’re super oily, you can skip getting embryolisse, but otherwise, these are awesome steps to include in ANY at home skincare routine!
And don’t forget- if you grab any of these for home use, let me know how you like them with a DM on Instagram! :)
centella light cleansing oil - this is a lightweight, refreshing cleanser that removes oil, dirt, and makeup, and washes off easily, leaving your skin feeling soft and clean.
sonia roselli sexapeel exfoliating spray - this is a must have in my kit and in my vanity. this is a gentle gomage style exfoliant that’s safe for sensitive and rosacea prone skin. for ladies whose skin might be on the tougher side, you can go in with another round of use. all of the sonia roselli product line is fantaaaastic, especially her Water Oil and Water Balm
the inkey list omega water cream - this is a thin, hydrating moisturizer that works fantastic as a moisturizer for oily skin, or to layer under other products for normal-dry skin, acting as a serum. this is a more affordable dupe for Sonia’s Water Balm, though I will say, Sonia’s has better skincare benefits :)
embryolisse lait-creme concentre - a staple for dry-skinned girlies, this moisturizer just soaks into dry and dehydrated skin, and can be applied heavily and left on as a mask until it absorbs
grace & stella gold eye patches - these feel amazing on the undereye; so cooling, hydrating, and firming! + these eye patches are so fun. I continously repurchase these for my kit. highly recommend.
biodance bio-collagen mask - these feel amazing on the skin, so cooling and hydrating and plumping! the week of your wedding, it’s highly recommended that you play it safe with your skincare to avoid reactions, break outs, or interactions with the makeup. these are safe to use in the days leading up to your wedding morning and will help prepare your skin for the makeup!
poppy & pout lip scrub - this is a solid sugar scrub with a lovely scent. using a sugar scrub helps break away any dead skin and increase circulation, giving them a healthy plump. removing that dry, dead skin and scabs lets the lip mask really sink in and do its job.
jouer lip mask - the scent that I have is their vanilla, but I didn’t see that one on amazon! however, ALLLLL of my clients LOVE the way this product makes their lips feel so soft and rave about the scent. these two are a winning combo!
castor oil - I love using castor oil on my brows and lashes. I’m not going to say I’ve noticed a massive difference in thickness, but I don’t use it as consistently as I should. but when I’m using castor oil on my lashes and brows, they never look better! I would just recommend stopping two nights before the wedding to make sure you don’t have any residue leftover.
extra virgin coconut oil - I recently started oil pulling and I’m obsessed! I feel like my teeth look whiter and my mouth always feel clean. this is totally a bonus, but unless your dentist recommends against it, I think oil pulling is a great addition to your pre-wedding prep.
face towels - is this basic? yes. but I love these face towels because they’re the perfect size to use on your face without making a big mess, and they’re incredibly soft! I prefer using dedicated face towels because I know they won’t be used for anything else, so they’ll stay clean longer, and these ones aren’t going to be scratchy against your skin.
at home facial steamer - okay, yes, perhaps getting your own facial steamer sounds extreme, but there’s a reason estheticians use them in the spa. first- they feel wonderful. that’s a big one! and second, the hot steam helps cleansers and exfoliants soften and breakdown the dead skin cells and dirt and debri that’s floating around your face, resulting in a deeper clean and smoother exfoliation, not to mention you can use it for product penetration and hydration as well! I have a similar one at home and its such a nice touch to my own DIY facials
And a quick note- these are commission links, which means purchases made using these links will result in a small commission for me, but if you don’t feel comfortable using these links, don’t! You can look up the product in a new tab instead and there will be no commission :)
