Beauty Treatments for the Bride-To-Be

August 3, 2009 | editorial team

While in wedding planning mode, many women are also in a beauty enhancement mode, exploring ways to look their best on their wedding day, and during all those events, parties and rehearsals leading up to it. Being a beauty product junkie myself, I admit that I tend to live in this mode on a regular basis! All those products and potions that feel so good and smell so lovely? Well, they simply brighten my day (and hopefully my skin too!) Here are a few fun beauty finds I’ve run across recently that are focused on specific areas and particular dilemmas that a bride-to-be just might be thinking about…

Beauty treatments and skin care products for brides-to-be

Whish Flawless Bump Fighter– Gets rid of shaving bumps, ingrown hairs and redness from waxing- perfect for helping that honeymoon bikini wax!

Philosophy Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub– Get those lips soft, smooth and ready for wedding day makeup and your first kiss as husband and wife.

Butter London Stiletto Stick Hydrating Heel Balm– Smooths and moisturizes dry, cracked heels so your feet will look healthy and happy in those strappy wedding heels you just splurged on!

It Cosmetics Eyes of Seduction Lash Primer “The Fluffer”– Antioxidants, amino acids and provitamin B5 help this lash primer do double duty. Apply it under your mascara for immediately thicker looking lashes, and watch it help them grow stronger and healthier over time.

Trind Natural Nail Repair– Wear this repairing and moisturizing polish alone or as a base coat to strengthen weak fingernails and get them wedding manicure ready.

Glytone Back Acne Spray– Blemishes on your shoulders and back are never gong to make your feel your best in that strapless dress. Try this 2% salicylic acid blend spray that’s packaged in a smart pump bottle, allowing you to spray it upside down so you can cover all those hard to reach places with ease.

 

Another favorite way to amp up the beauty quotient with minimal work? Night creams! I love the feeling of waking up to softer, clearer skin and the feeling that I got something accomplished while I slept. (Got to make the most of your busy schedule, right ladies?) 

Moisturizing night creams for brides-to-be

Sundari Neem Night Cream– My all-time personal favorite. I just can’t live without this stuff. Creamy, nutrient rich and easily absorbed, I swear this night cream heals all.

Philosophy ‘Help Me’ Retinol Night Treatment– This night treatment means business. It contains time-released retinol to keep pores clean, minimize fine lines, and improve skin discoloration.

DDF Mesojection Healthy Cell Serum– DDF is one of those brands that’s heavy on the science, so you feel like you’re really making an impact. With antioxidants galore this product is supposed to reduce free-radical damage and penetrate 14 layers deep into the skin’s surface. Sounds good to me!

Fresh Mamaku Night Serum– Fresh pretty much can’t go wrong in my book, I’ve never tried a product of theirs that I didn’t like. This Mamaku Night Serum consistently gets rave reviews from people who report glowing, hydrated, plumper, firmer, and more radiant skin, even after just one use.

How about you, what favorite beauty products are you using right now?

Real Weddings- Joanne and Jaime

Joanne and Jaime’s wedding was a brilliant combination of traditional and contemporary. They created a sacred and intimate focus on their marriage ceremony and the faith it represented to them, as well as a laid back and fun energy for their modern, urban-chic wedding reception. An unforgettable combination!

The day began as the women got ready at the ultra hip Hotel 1000, and the men met up with them for a fun photo session around Downtown Seattle and Pioneer Square with the talented GH Kim Photography. After their traditional Christian ceremony at the church they attend together, Joanne and Jaime took a few romantic moments alone to connect, and then headed off to the Harbor Club for their super stylish modern wedding reception.

Joanne and Jaime chose a wedding color palette of orange and chocolate brown, and I just love they way the colors blended so well with the existing decor of their reception site. So smart! Looking back they feel like their best decision was working with such wonderful wedding professionals- from the inspired music of the Dudley Manlove Quartet (one of their favorite bands) to the impeccable service and delicious food of the Harbor Club, to the personal connection they felt with Grace and Hun of GH Kim Photography, each member of their wedding team brought invaluable expertise to their day. “Working with great partners and making a lot of decisions early allowed us to relax and let them handle the hurdles on the day of the wedding, so we were able to focus on enjoying and remembering the once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Thank you so much for sharing your wedding with us Joanne and Jaime! To learn all about the professionals who helped create this beautiful wedding, be sure to visit our Real Weddings section.
