Your big aisle moment is within touching distance. And all your grand plans for a strict bridal beauty regime have fallen by the wayside amidst the party-planning, guest list-stressing, relative-appeasing activities of recent months.
All is not lost. You can still make some pretty progress with just six weeks to go. The beauty experts at Aqua (aquaskincare.co.uk) have picked out five beauty fixes, which can make all the difference in creating that glowing, aisle-ready appearance during the final throes of the planning process. Get ready to be pampered!
HYDRAFACIAL
This is the perfect pre-wedding facial treatment for those leaving the beauty regime a tad late. Also known as the 'Hollywood Facial' for its fabulous and fast-working effects, the Hydrafacial has been dubbed the 'Dyson' for your face as it offers a new generation of microdermabrasion without sand blasting the skin.
By removing 15 layers of superficial skin along with all impurities, you get instantly hydrated and skin-brightening results minus the pain or down time, providing squeaky-clean HD-ready pores and a beguilingly luminous look.
HD BROWS
Frame your come-hither eyes with a brow treatment that defines your face like no other. HD Brows cleverly combines the seven-step precision procedure of tinting, waxing, threading, designing, tweezing, trimming and HD make-up to create stunning symmetry, revolutionising eyebrow care for an immediately visible feel-good factor.
But fret not. Your brows won't be over-plucked into scant obscurity, but rather a natural look will be achieved as the shape most suited to you is harnessed via face mapping, which results in a lifting effect on the entire eye area while creating a more youthful appearance.
What's more, HD Brows is also available for men, offering a subtle way to shape grooms' brows and tidy away unwanted hair for a more polished (but still manly) appearance.
TEETH WHITENING
Create a camera-ready smile by instantly brightening and lightening your teeth by an uber kissable two-eight shades with this quick-whitening treatment.
Boasting no pain, peroxide or sensitivity, a teeth whitening procedure is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to ensure a more dazzling and youthful appearance for both the bride and groom.
JANSSEN
Janssen is a cosmeceutical FDA approved skin brand that delivers instant results. Chock full of pharmaceutical grade ingredients, this wonder treatment gives your skin a potent shot of exactly what it needs during the run-up to the wedding day.
Janssen supply seven-day skin boost programmes that promise to increase hydration, elasticity and luminosity. Simply apply the tried-and-tested treatment to face, neck and decolletage to improve skin tone, appearance and suppleness in the final throes of bridal beautification.
SKINADE
Ditch the energy drinks in favour of Skinade's innovative anti-ageing collagen drink. Developed by leading UK scientists, it is designed to provide a perfect ratio of liquid to active ingredients to create one of the most advanced and effective anti-ageing skincare products on the market.
Being highly bio-available means that 80-90% is absorbed by the body, with the first effects being noticeable within four-six days, as the skin feels softer and more hydrated. After ten-twelve days, consumers will notice even greater changes as the smoothness and plumpness of the skin increases, while a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in two-four weeks promises stunning looking skin with a gorgeous glow. And it tastes good to boot.
