• Drink Up! Increase your water intake, decrease intake of alcoholic beverages, or salty food. This will help with undereye puffiness, and lackluster skin color.
• Clean your skin every evening with a gentle cleanser, and make sure all makeup is removed before bed. This helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Moisturize your skin after cleansing.
•Gently physically exfoliate 2-3 a week.
* We do not recommend trying new skincare products before the wedding, this will prevent any potential breakouts or allergic reactions.
ONE WEEK PRIOR
• Eyebrow wax, threading, or tweezing should be done at least 5 days before the big day so any possible breakouts or reaction has had time to heal and ensure makeup will properly adhere.
• Any spray-tans should be done 3-4 days prior. Thoroughly exfoliate before doing so to ensure even application. It's also a good idea to test run spray tanning to ensure there are no unwanted tones or spray tanning allergies.
•Pause any retinoids at this time to allow the skin texture to even out.
DAY OF
• Arrive with skin freshly cleansed, avoid any heavy moisturizers or SPF above 15.
• Arrive with your hair clean and dry. If you have fine hair, we recommend applying mousse throughout the hair and blow-drying in. If you have natural curls, coils, or wave and want to use them: we recommend using a curl defining serum or cream and letting hair air dry. Otherwise, if not, please blow your hair out smooth prior to styling.
•We suggest washing and drying hair the night prior.
WHAT TO WEAR
•We recommend tie front robes, wide neck t-shirts / tank tops, or low collar button up shirts for all wedding party members receiving services. This will ensure that the clothing does not interfere with hairstyling or makeup, and cause friction against the face or hair, when it's time to change into formalwear.
•Helpful Tips: Wear loose fitting undergarments to prevent bra strap lines and remove watches or hair ties from wrists - trust us, your photographer will thank you!
