Wedding Day Anxiety? Best Essential Oils & Relaxation Tips to Stay Calm and Confident
Your wedding day is one of life's most exciting milestones, but...
The ultimate pre-wedding skincare routine - according to the experts
Your special day is on the horizon and the planning is well underway. You’ve found the perfect dress, your Pinterest boards are overflowing with hair and make-up looks, but the one thing you mustn’t neglect is ensuring you have your skincare routine locked and loaded before the big day. After all, to look your very best for when all eyes on you, starting at the beginning is essential. But not to worry, experts at Cult Beauty are here to help brides-to-be with the ultimate pre wedding skincare routine.
Cult Concierge expert Natalie reveals that the ideal time frame to begin your wedding skin prep isn’t in the days or weeks leading up to the big day - it’s months before. Six months, in fact. “Anyone looking to revamp their skincare routine should remember that time is a key factor to bear in mind. Steer clear of making any major changes if it's less than six months before the big day. Any new formulation will not only need time to get to work, but you also need to let your complexion acclimatise.”
As always, there’s no one size fits all approach to skincare, but Natalie at Cult Beauty has created a one-stop shopping list for all the essentials to add to your routine:
