For Every Bride: Skin Care Tips & Makeup Techniques

C1. All cosmetics and creams are not created equal. Brides should be especially wary of products with ingredients that can aggravate the skin, like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which can clog pores and irritate acne. For a list of irritants to look out for, see Vasseur Skincare’s Web site at: http://www.vsskin.com/irritant.html

2. Sunscreen is an important part of any bride’s daily routine. To keep from getting a "cooked look" in pictures, apply daily weeks before you say "I Do." (Vasseur's Day 25 Cream guards against damaging UVA, UVB and C rays and contains Vitamins A and E and C to help neutralize free radicals before they can damage the skin.)

3. Mineral-based make-ups can be a great alternative for women with acne prone skin. Many contain sunscreen and are so skin friendly that you can even sleep in them.

4. Changes in seasons and hormones can alter the appearance of your skin. In the summer, your skin may be oily; in the winter it may be dry. Use products to help stabilize your current skin type versus relying on tried and true cleansers and lotions that are no longer appropriate.

5. Leading up to and on your big day, keep your pucker from being parched by applying a moisturizing balm with Hyaluronic Acid and Shea Butter to soften lips and give them a soft, kissable look.

6. In case of an acne emergency before your wedding, apply ice (or Vasseur’s less messy IceZit, which your can store in the freezer for when you need it) directly to the offending pimple for a few minutes to reduce swelling.  Then user a face mask with salicylic acid and sulfur to draw out impurities and dry up the blemish.

7. To help lessen the appearance of enlarged pores, look for products with ALA to reduce the negative effects of inflammation. ALA will help to lessen the appearance of enlarged pores, minimize acne scars and reduce skin inflammations for brides-to-be with acne.
 
8. For ultimate wedding skin, consider a series of monthly facials to unclog pores, reduce fine lines, treat acne and even out skin tone up to six months in advance of your big day. Even if you are on a tight budget, one or two monthly or bi-weekly facials can do wonders and help reduce stress.

9. Do not experiment with new products and facials for the two weeks before your wedding—avoid potential irritation that could occur from new treatments or changes in your skin’s reaction to them.

10. Maintain your beauty regimen even after the wedding and constantly remind your honey of one of the reasons why he married you. Hydrating facials are great for taking the sting out of honeymoon sunburns and too much alcohol. Moisturizing masks (like Vasseur’s Hydro Gel) make a fabulous at home treatment.
