1. How did our SELF treatments contribute to your overall wedding & lead up experience?

After we got engaged, and moved to the Eastern suburbs, I wanted to make sure my skin was in its best condition in the lead up to the wedding day. After a lot of research, I came across Self, and couldn’t have been happier. I have some stubborn pigmentation on my forehead and nose and wanted to make sure that it was under control for the wedding. My vision for the wedding was timeless, classic elegance, which meant I wanted to have a natural makeup look and not feel like I had to mask my pigmentation with heavy concealer and foundation. 

My regular treatments at Self in the lead up to the wedding were such a pleasure - I always looked forward to them, and knew the relaxing, serene environment would make any of my wedding stresses disappear! Each appointment was an hour of bliss, and seeing the consistent results made me excited and confident that my skin would be glowing for the wedding day. 

2. Can you share the specific benefits you noticed after completing our bridal treatments?

After my bridal treatments my skin was glowing, even and clear and my pigmentation was significantly reduced. I even received compliments from my makeup artist at my makeup trial and again on the wedding day, about what fabulous condition my skin was in and that was all thanks to my treatments at Self. 

3. Did our facial treatments help enhance your skin's appearance for your wedding day? If so, in what ways?

Completely. My pigmentation was significantly reduced and my skin was radiant and smooth, which meant I could have the natural, light, fresh makeup look I had always dreamed of for my wedding day. 

4. Were there any standout moments during your wedding day where you felt your skin looked especially radiant and glowing?

Thanks to your treatments at Self, went the whole day and night without retouching my makeup, which is unheard of for me. Without the treatments at Self I would have been self conscious that my pigmentation was showing or that my makeup was wearing off, but thanks to Self I was able to dance the night away with no concerns about how my skin was looking. I knew it was in its best condition and I think the fact that my skin looked as good at the end of the night as it did at the beginning is testament to the power of a good skincare routine, expert advice and regular treatments. 

5. What personalised skincare advice or recommendations did our team provide during your treatments?

Jessica recommended that I come in for regular peels to tackle my pigmentation and ensure my skin was in its best condition. Jessica also recommended I add a product specifically designed to target pigmentation into my skincare routine. I took Jessica’s advice and couldn’t have been happier with the results. 

Products included: IS Clinical Pro-heal, O Cosmedics B3 (available in salon only), IS Clinical Brightening Complex & Medik8 Physical Sunscreen SPF 50+.

6. How did our bridal facial treatments fit into your overall wedding preparation routine? Did you find them to be an essential part of your pre wedding prep?

My wedding preparation routine was relatively simple, but consistent. The key elements of my routine were facial treatments at Self, coupled with a good home skincare routine, and monthly manicures at the Parlour Room. I genuinely looked forward to each of my bridal treatments at Self and my manicures at The Parlour Room - they were a moment for me to completely relax and switch off from any wedding related, or other, stresses. They also made me excited for my wedding as the consistent results meant I knew I was in safe hands and would be looking my best!

7. Would you recommend our bridal package to other brides-to-be?

To any future bride I would say it’s key to find expert skincare advice that you trust and to implement a routine that is achievable and you can stick to. It can be daunting not knowing where to start, and reading conflicting information about what treatments are best to get your skin glowing, radiant and wedding ready. I went down many an internet rabbit hole when I first got engaged!

I’m so glad I found Self’s bridal package - it is tailored for your skin concerns and is adaptable. Being able to receive advice of the best treatments for my skin at the outset and then continuing to receive advice throughout the process as my skin got used to and responded to the treatments, was invaluable and ensured the best results. 

8. Did our facial treatments help you achieve the desired look for your wedding day makeup?

I wanted to look like the best version of myself on my wedding day, but ultimately still look like myself. This meant I wanted quite a natural makeup look, which focused on glowy, radiant skin. Self’s facial treatments gave me the beautiful, fresh, glowing base that I needed to pull off a natural makeup look and meant that I didn’t need to have a heavy foundation to cover my pigmentation. I couldn’t have been happier with the end results and am so happy with them that I’m keeping up my facial treatments post wedding!
