Key Takeaways
What you need to know
- Start stronger treatments 4–6 months before the wedding.
- Switch to gentle, no-downtime treatments in the final month.
- Never try a new product or treatment in the last two weeks.
- Daily sunscreen protects every result you've built.
The best wedding skin isn't created the week before. It's built gradually, with stronger treatments early and gentle maintenance close to the day.
6 months out
- Book a skin consultation to address acne, pigment, scars or texture
- Start laser resurfacing or a PICO series for sun spots and melasma
- Begin laser hair removal so you finish 6–8 sessions in time
- Start a medical-grade home skincare routine
4–5 months out
- Continue your laser or peel series
- Do a Botox trial run if you're considering it
