Wedding skin: a twelve-week countdown

When to book your last peel, when to stop experimenting and what to pack for the day itself.

The best wedding skin is rarely the result of a dramatic final week. It is built quietly, over three months, with very few surprises.

Twelve to eight weeks out

Book a Skin Consultation and settle your routine. This is the window for stronger treatments, a series of facials and any brow growing-out.

Six to two weeks out

  • Your final Enzyme Glow Peel, no closer than ten days before.

  • A makeup trial with the products you will actually wear.

  • Brow shaping two weeks out, tint one week out.

Stop experimenting about a month before the day. Your skin will thank you for the boredom.

On the day

Pack blotting papers, the lip colour from your trial and a small sunscreen for the outdoor photographs. Then put your phone away and enjoy it.
