HAIR & MAKE-UP PREP GUIDE

7-10 days in advance: Dermaplaning is recommended. Also, apply sunscreen liberally (and remind your entire wedding party to do the same!)

5-7 days in advance: Complete facial waxings and follow up with a gentle facial.

3-5 days in advance: Avoid any harsh treatments or products that could irritate your skin (especially retinol), and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Day before: Double cleanse, exfoliate, and use a hydrating mask at nighttime.

If you have fine hair, apply a lightweight volumizing product (I recommend Color Wow Dream Coat followed by Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Multiplying Volume Mousse) and blow-dry smooth to create a clean, workable foundation.

Wash and fully dry your hair within 24 hours of your wedding, and avoid any heavy or leave-in products that may make it too soft.

For curly hair, wash and style as usual the night before, allowing it to air dry or use a diffuser to enhance definition and reduce frizz.
