Pre-wedding beauty prep

Just be careful waxing eyebrows. I get them threaded. Ive waxed my eyebrows in a few different salons and have been burned. The marks eventually went away in about a week but it literally looked like i got into a fist fight thats how ugly they looked.

I get really red and swollen when doing my eyebrows, I’ll do them a week to 4 days in advance. I’m just doing the same you are, I thought maybe a facial? But I’m not even sure. Some people like to get tanned (I’m not doing that)

Maybe a facial or if your pasty white like me a spray tan would help not look so ghostly

I’ll be doing a wax probably a week before and then mani/pedi the day before. If I can afford it, I’ll probably do a massage the day before too. I would be careful with a facial this close, and anything new for the first time. You may have a reaction or break out.

I did face masks and teeth whitening strips

Since you’re still 2 weeks out, I would get a facial if you can swing it—this way any redness has time to go away before the big day. Also, now would be a good time to get your hair trimmed and your color touched up if you color your hair.

I would schedule the brow wax for a week out so any redness or swelling has time to subside, and the mani/pedi for only a day or two before so it doesn’t have time to chip or grow out.

A brow wax a week ahead would be good. I did a massage and facial a few days before my wedding so I could have a few hours to myself and it was amazing.

A facial for sure ! I’ve heard from makeup artists that they recommend a dermaplanning facial as it smoothes out your face. I would get it done like now though just in case you get a reaction or something..

I did a full body sugar scrub, it was a waste of $50 and I could have accomplished it at home with the $10 sugar scrub my husband gave me for my birthday. So skip that & do a sugar body scrub at home. 1 month before, I did botox. 1 week before, I did a lash lift & tint (wouldn't suggest doing this unless you've done it before and know how your eyelashes react), an O2 facial (didn't irritate my skin at all) and dermaplanning (this was AMAZING & made my skin so smooth and makeup go on so well). I don't wax, so I just shaved at home after the scrub (or plucked my eyebrows myself). I did shellac on my toes & acrylics on my nails. Then at home, I consistently moisturized my lips, face, hair & skin all week using lotion, lip mask & cuticle cream. I also did teeth whitening strips.

View Quoted Comment Yikes! Definitely sounds like threading would be better, but what exactly is it/how does it work?

View Quoted Comment Its a method where the thread is wrapped around the hair and plucked....def cant do it on your own....so much better than wax. I would google around your area where a salon would be. Im in nj and we have a bunch

View Quoted Comment Nice! Yeah, I’m not sure about getting a facial either. I have a charcoal mask and a facial sugar scrub at home. I might just use those. If you decide to get a facial, do you know what you would go with?

View Quoted Comment Thanks! Have you done spray tanning before? I’ve never been, but I guess I’m just afraid of looking kind of orange?

View Quoted Comment Ooh, a massage sounds really nice. Thanks for the ideas and tips!

View Quoted Comment Awesome! Thank you - I’ll have to check it out!

View Quoted Comment I like the teeth whitening idea. Good call! Thanks😊

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the suggestions! 😊

View Quoted Comment Sounds like a good spa day! What kind of facial did you get?

View Quoted Comment Thanks! I will definitely take a look at derma planing.

View Quoted Comment That sounds like a great prep routine! I will take your advice on doing a body scrub at home and moisturizing like crazy. Teeth whitening strips are a great idea...and it sounds like a lot of people are recommending derma planing - might be worth it! Thank you! PS- if lashes don’t respond well to a lift and tint treatment, at least there’s falsies!!😉😂
