Laying the foundations for glowing skin starts with a consistent skincare regime.
Need To Know
Start your skincare regime as soon as possible and book in with one of our experienced therapists to help guide you aid you with the tools and resources to achieve long-lasting glowing skin.
The best results come from a consistent at-home skincare regime with quality products and ingredients. While in-salon treatments are extremely beneficial in reaching your goals, the best results come from a combination of in-salon and at-home routines so it’s important you work with your therapist to map out a skincare plan that will work best for you.
When booking your last facial, we always recommend doing this in the week leading up to your wedding so that the best results shine through on the day.
Glowing skin should not be limited to your face, neck and decolletage. You want to be glowing head-to-toe so don’t forget the body treatments to ensure your skin is radiating.
A total body treatment will ensure your skin is feeling soft and even, which is a must-have to lay the foundations for a flawless tan. So make sure you have a nourishing moisturiser, a good exfoliating mitt and have booked in for a total body scrub (Vanilla Body Bliss) 2 weeks before the wedding.
Stress is one of the leading causes of a number of skin concerns and we all know planning your wedding can be a stressful time, so treating yourself and your partner to a relaxing massage will help give some much needed time to unwind. While you’re at it, book them in for a facial as well - it’s their special day and they’ll want to look their best.
Pre-book your bridal treatments, depending on the time of year, salons can get quite busy and especially with other brides. If you’re coordinating a group, whether it’s your hens or bridal party the week before the wedding, book at least 8 weeks in advance to ensure the whole party can be accommodated.
If you’re working with your therapist to map out a skincare regime and they suggest changing products (namely cleansers), as long as this is done at least 6 weeks prior to the wedding, it should give your skin enough time to purge and settle down.
“For someone who doesn’t usually do treatments, Self by The Parlour Room is an exception. I treasured every session I had with Jess in the lead up to my wedding. She made me feel so relaxed and looked after my skin so well! My skin never looked so radiant! Thank you!”
