Seven Days, Six Nights: A Checklist of Beauty Treatments Before Your Wedding

The closer the most anticipated event of your life gets, the more often the question arises: "How will I get everything done?"

Fear, excessive worry, and anxiety can simply start poisoning the celebratory atmosphere. We've prepared a checklist of beauty treatments for the days leading up to your wedding. It breaks down all the necessary steps day by day to get yourself into maximum readiness.

7 Days Before the Wedding

Hair Coloring

If you were planning a dramatic transformation (going from blonde to brunette), you should have done that much earlier. The goal of this coloring session is to refresh your color.

Hair Moisturizing

Everything about the bride's look should be perfect. It's time to nourish your hair so it shines. You can use moisturizing hair masks at home on your own. Or you can choose salon options with innovative treatments, such as "Happiness for Hair" or "Absolute Happiness for Hair" by Japanese brand Lebel Cosmetics. These are designed for rapid improvement of hair cuticle condition and shaft restoration. These treatments work for both colored and uncolored hair.

The treatment includes:

washing your hair with a full massage, with hair separated into individual strands;
then combing with a wide-tooth comb and applying several different restorative serums;
intensive heating under a thermal cap for 15 minutes;
then, without rinsing off the previous products, special creams and a fixing gel are applied;
and finally, washing and a finishing product.

The entire procedure takes 40 minutes to an hour, you'll see results immediately, and they will pleasantly shock you.

Haircut

You can combine care treatments with trimming the ends. And no improvising! Unless, of course, you've planned to surprise all your guests and the groom with your new creative look.

Hair and Makeup Rehearsal

It's better to make sure in advance that the chosen style works for you. This will also give you an understanding of how long-lasting your makeup is, whether you have any allergies to the cosmetics, and whether your hairstyle will stay intact after an active day.

You can find a trusted wedding stylist and makeup artist here on our portal. This will save time searching through social media, and you're guaranteed to get great results.

Waxing/Hair Removal

Be sure to consider your skin's characteristics. If it's sensitive and prone to irritation, you should think about doing this procedure a bit earlier — so you're not worrying about lingering redness on your most joyful day. Check the lunar calendar; our astro-psychologist usually indicates days when your pain sensitivity will be reduced.

As for which method is most popular, the ranking looks like this: photoepilation, waxing, sugaring.

5 Days Before the Wedding

Eyelash Extensions

If you've done this before, you know all the nuances. But if you've dreamed your whole life of gorgeous lashes and decided that getting them for the first time right before the wedding is a good idea — no, it's risky. First, you might simply not like the result and be upset! Second, if an allergic reaction starts, it will be a real tragedy. Experiments in the eye area right before your wedding are absolutely not what you need.

And don't forget to coordinate lash extensions with your wedding stylist so their presence doesn't come as a surprise to the specialist.

Brow Shaping and Lamination

Even simple tinting significantly changes your appearance, and work done by an experienced master will certainly enhance your look and become an excellent foundation for your wedding makeup.

Teeth Whitening

A snow-white smile will definitely come in handy for your celebration photos. Plus, it will simply give you more confidence. The gentlest treatment for your teeth during the procedure can be achieved using the Philips Zoom 4 system.

3 Days Before the Wedding

Manicure and Pedicure

Macro photography, exchanging rings, toasts during the wedding reception, the bouquet that will be in your hands almost all day — all of this will draw attention to your manicure. Do we need to clarify that a perfect wedding look is simply impossible without a manicure?! This applies equally to women and men.

Light Exfoliation

Glowing, smooth skin is the best complement to a bride's look. But as with all procedures, you need to know your limits and not experiment on yourself with unfamiliar products. Do what you're used to. Now is not the time to set records and test your skin's resilience. One good gentle scrub is the Korean ETUDE HOUSE Baking Powder Pore Scrub. Original form, gentle consistency without large particles. Pay attention to it.

Packing Your Makeup Bag

Everything important should be at hand on your wedding day. So now is the time to pack your makeup bag:

clear lip gloss, powder, mascara, blotting papers, brow gel;
wet wipes, thermal water;
bobby pins, hair clips, hairspray;
eye drops, especially if you wear contacts (a spare set of lenses in a case won't hurt either);
clear nail polish, hand moisturizer.

Light Lip Care

A combo of mask and scrub will give your lips a perfect look. This will help achieve even lipstick application on your wedding day without much fuss. Especially important for a winter wedding.

The Zeitun Oat Grains & Honey lip scrub-mask is perfect for this. The olive oil and vitamin E moisturize the skin. Fine oat particles help eliminate flaking.

1 Day Before the Wedding

Massage, Spa, Aromatherapy, or Yoga with Meditation

Excitement is building, tension is at maximum — this means it's time to save your nerve cells from destruction and your body from overstrain. And it wouldn't hurt to get your thoughts in order too.

Assign responsible people to handle remaining questions, delegate all authority to your wedding coordinator, and head off for a reset. Calm will return faster than you expect.

Moisturizing Face Mask

A moisturizing face mask completes the preparation for perfect wedding makeup. Sixty percent of your beauty is a healthy complexion, natural blush, and glowing skin. The remaining 40% is a deep and long sleep the night before.

The JM Solution Glow Luminous Aurora Mask sheet mask works great for facial hydration. Rating 5 out of 5. Thin, yet fits snugly without bubbling. Thanks to several cuts, it's perfect for different face shapes. Plus a creamy essence with plant extracts, floral scent, and instant, gorgeous results — a real rescue for dehydrated and irritated skin.
