Wedding Beauty Prep Timeline: 6 Months Before Your Wedding
The question’s been asked. A positive answer’s given. You’ve set the date. Congratulations! Now onto the wedding planning. It can all seem a little daunting, but once you’re organized, things start to drop into place. And that includes making sure you look and feel your best come the big day. So, here is an easy-to-follow six-month beauty plan for brides-to-be.
6 months
This stage is all about planning and getting your regimes in place. The sooner you start getting into good habits, the better. At this point, you want to get your skin and hair care routine nailed, so that you can be consistent and look your best for the wedding photos. But what routine should you follow?
Skin:
Keep it simple and stick with a daily routine of cleanse, gentle exfoliation, tone and moisturize, in that order.
At this point, it’s also a good time to go for a facial, and get expert advice on the best type of products to use for your skin type.
Other things to be aware of are using SPF skincare and drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
Hair:
The first thing to get sorted is your style and stylist. Shop around and take your ideas with you to any appointments. The stylists will be able to help you choose your look, so go with the one you feel most confident and comfortable with.
This is also the time to get into a good hair care routine: washing no more than every other day, limiting your use of heat, and treating your hair to a deep condition once a week. Using tea tree oil for hair has many benefits and is a great choice for your weekly hair pampering session.
4 to 6 months
At this stage, you should have good routines in place, picked out your hairstyle, and chosen your stylist. Now’s the time to move onto the finer details. If you haven’t already started an exercise routine, this is a good time to work on your body.
You should also start to pay closer attention to your nails and book a manicure. And start planning your wedding makeup now. You might want to consider getting your eyebrows professionally shaped.
2 to 3 months
The big day’s getting closer now! Facials are still a good idea on a monthly basis, and you’ll have nailed your skin and hair care routine by now. This is not the time to make big changes, but you could try a fake tan trial – there’s still time for it to fade if you don’t like the results.
This would also be a great time to focus on your wellbeing – a nice massage, relaxing spa day… whatever you like to help you feel calm.
The final month
Keep all your routines going through these final weeks, including those helpful habits you’ve got into, like cleansing your skin and using tea tree oil for hair. It’s worked up ‘til now, so don’t go changing!
These last few weeks are the time for last facials, manicures, trims, and run-throughs. You’ve put in the hard work, so you can enjoy the results and look forward to your big day now.
And there it is, your six-month pre-wedding beauty plan. Keep it consistent and you will love what you see when you look through your stunning wedding day photos!
