There’s a reason we so frequently utter the phrase ‘blushing bride’ when we are swooning over a newlywed’s wedding album - yes, even our Wedding Planners can be found audibly aww-ing over a Love Story from time to time - but what is the secret to the that elusive glow that we all long for? To some end, I do believe the sheer joy of marrying the love of your life has a small part to play, and as for the rest, it’s undoubtedly down to a trusty skincare regime.
Whether you’re more of winged eyeliner and Velvet Teddy, or a CC cream paired with a slick of rouge kind of girl, there’s no arguing that the foundations of a beautiful bridal makeup look are built upon healthy skin. With the aim to enhance rather than mask, a radiant complexion will provide the base for beautiful light layering of products - the key to ensuring longevity into the wee hours! With a plethora of products on the market and a wedding planning list to tend to, it can be tricky to find a skincare regime to suit your needs. Tempting as it may be to dive in with the latest product du jour, the months leading up to your wedding can be the most precarious of times to introduce new products which is why we recommend not to rock the boat, rather entrusting the advice of a skin care professional.
Enter SkinCeuticals; the brand that promises to improve the health of your skin. Exclusively available at The Skin Clinic at Galgorm, SkinCeutcials offer advanced skincare using clinically proven beneficial ingredients such as vitamin C and final formulations backed by science. Hailed by our in-house Skin Expert Lyndsay, she explains that the brand is built on three simple, effective key principles - prevent, correct and protect - fitting perfectly with Galgorm’s own skincare ethos and standards.
Skincare conscious brides can choose from one-off facials or opt for a more in-depth regime with a course of four or six treatments. To top it off you will have the opportunity to indulge in some R&R with each session including use of the award-winning Thermal Spa Village facilities - something every bride-to-be needs, right? Each treatment will include a personal skin consultation with a SkinCeuticals trained therapist who will assess skin under a Skinscope scanner and create a bespoke treatment regime for each customer using products specifically to prevent damage, correct and protect the skin.
Arguably the star of the show, the in-depth skin analysis under the Skinscope scanner will give your therapist a thorough understanding of your skin concerns and how best to achieve your optimal skin health, allowing you to embrace the most confident version of you on your wedding day. After all, you shouldn’t be ruminating over skincare in the lead up to your wedding, rather embracing the joy of what is to come!
