Perfect, glowing skin is the dream for every bride. In a perfect world we would all be getting enough beauty sleep, eating a balanced diet and all with some spare time for relaxation, but that's definitely not the reality for most of us. Our busy lives lead to stress, lack of sleep and a poor diet which inevitably shows on our skin! If that sounds like your life, don't lose hope for beautiful skin on your wedding day, with the right skincare plan and some 'TLC' your skin can be wedding day ready, despite a busy lifestyle. La Biosthetique, the beauty brand which works in harmony with our own bio-chemistry, have created a simple 6 week wedding skincare plan.
WEEK 1
It’s important in the first week of any skin treatment plan to focus on activating the deeper layers of the skin. By targeting these layers you create a good base for your skin and improve the overall results of your skincare plan.
We suggest the LA CAPSULE FACIAL (60 min) to start as it restores and moisturises the core layers of the skin, whilst plumping fine lines for a firmer radiant complexion. The perfect base for your 6 week skincare plan! Continue treatment at home with LA CAPSULE LIPID SERUMS (RRP: $133.50). Apply the boosters daily after cleansing to maintain the nourishing effects of the facial.
WEEK 2
For many brides, one of the key areas of concern are the eyes, whether it’s the dark circles under the eyes or the fine lines. The key here is to start treatment for these areas early to give your skin the best chance to revive. We love the DERMOSTHETIQUE ANTI-AGE PATCH GEL LIFTANT eye patches (RRP: $103.50), which soothe and calm the eye area. It will also reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. Simply apply the patches under the eye for 10 mins to see results.
WEEK 3
Week 3 is a good time to focus on the body. Often we get so caught up in treating the face, that we neglect the rest of our skin. Once again, we recommend starting with a professional in-salon treatment, so you can then build on the care at home. The BODY SATIN WRAP (45 min) treatment begins with a full body dry exfoliation to gently remove dead skin from the body. You will be enveloped by exclusive oils that penetrate into the skin to quench the body with nourishment. Once wrapped, you will receive a relaxing scalp massage and the treatment will end in a light massage. Skin will be left smooth, soft and supple.
WEEK 4
To maintain the beautiful smooth feeling of your skin after the Body Satin Wrap, use the home care SPA range. With these products you can create a treatment like experience, all within the comfort of your own home.
Step 1: Using circular motions, massage LE PEELING (RRP: $50.00) on to damp skin (for a more intensive scrub, apply directly to dry skin).
Step 2: Rinse the scrub with the soothing shower and bath gel LA BAIN (RRP: $34.00)
Step 3: Dry your skin, then finish with the invigorating LE LAIT (RRP$44.00)
(for intensive hydration use L’HUILE (RRP$44.00), a plant based natural oil, designed to soften very dry skin and strengthen its natural barriers.
WEEK 5
With only one week to go, your skin should be feeling its absolute best! This week you just want to maintain the status quo of your skin regime to avoid any breakouts. Keep using the LA CAPSULE LIPID SERUMS under your moisturiser and the DERMOSTHETIQUE ANTI-AGE PATCH GEL LIFTANT daily. Remember sleep, regular exercise and a healthy diet will improve your blood circulation and as a result your skin.
WEEK 6
It’s the week of your wedding! Now is the perfect time to refine the outer layers of the skin and treat your fingers and toes. We recommend a skin firming treatment for a more fresh, radiant look.
The DERMOSTHETIQUE INSTANT FIRMING THERAPY (75 min) is a deep action facial treatment. This facial visibly reduces the signs of ageing and the pores on the skin through its cellular technology, that targets those outer layers of the skin. Not to mention the pampering massage with hot stones to increase blood circulation in the skin.
Nurture your hands and feet with WELLNESS HAND AND FOOT THERAPY (60 mins). This spa treatment includes exfoliation, moisturising soak, Beauty Mud and deeply nourishing cream massage, finished by a cuticle treatment.
WEDDING DAY
It’s finally here, your wedding day!
Keep your skin regime simple today, cleanse and moisturise as per usual, do not use any exfoliant on your skin to avoid any irritation. Take some DERMOSTHETIQUE eye patches with you, so if you have a spare 10 minutes you can reduce any dark circles around your eyes.
But more importantly, enjoy your big day!
