Wedding Skin Prep and Hair Care Timeline, From Months Out to the Day Of

A comprehensive timeline for wedding skin and hair preparation is outlined by experts including esthetician Elizabeth Grace Hand, dermatologist Dr. Ranella Hirsch, esthetician Sofie Pavitt, hairstylist Chris McMillan, colorist Jeremy Cohen, and makeup artist Daniel Martin. Starting 6-12 months in advance, injectables like Botox and fillers should be tested, and regular facials should begin. Retinoids can be introduced six months prior, with laser treatments for hyperpigmentation scheduled 4-6 months out. Three months before, AHAs and BHAs can be integrated. One month out, final Botox and hair trims are recommended, avoiding new products. The final facial should occur one week before, ceasing exfoliants and retinoids. The day before, focus on hydration; the day of, use water-based skincare. Post-wedding, thorough cleansing and simple hydration are advised. Common concerns like breakouts should be managed with tried-and-true products, not new experiments.
