Bridal beauty doesn't begin when you're in your dressing gown, fizz in hand, surrounded by your maids. For glowing bridal skin, the full cleanse, tone and moisturise routine should be a regimented daily practice months ahead of W-day. The pre-wedding period is also a great time to indulge in some specialist treatments, whether it's to prime your complexion, tackle any dermatological issues - or simply relish some stress-busting, wedmin-free downtime.

Cornwall is home to some sublime spa experiences and specialist beauty salons where highly trained therapists deliver innovative treatments, many of which are perfect for brides-to-be. Here's Wed's top pick of the latest pre-wedding beauty treatments to try...

For revived eyes...
Voya Facial at C Bay Spa
If sinking into the impossibly snug sofa at the stunning sea-gazing spa isn't treat enough, indulge your senses further with a bliss-inducing Voya Facial. C Bay Spa's Organic Seaweed Marine Eye Treatment is designed to refresh and rejuvenate tired eyes, combining dreamy and decongesting lymphatic massage movements with gorgeous products to reveal more youthful-looking skin around the eyes.

Layer upon luscious layer of divine smelling products are applied and tenderly removed to the entire face during the specialist treatment, from a deeply nourishing cleanser and skin polishing scrub to a series of serums aimed to reduce dark shadows, promote collagen production, smooth out fine lines and boost radiance for the ultimate facial unwind.

Wonderfully cool seaweed eye masks combine with a hair and scalp massage to complete the heavenly experience, which can be followed by prolonging the sense of escape with a stint in the outdoor heated pool, hydropool, sauna pod, spa gardens, relaxation lounge or champagne bar.

For a radiant complexion...
Hydra-Facial at Aqua
Receive the 'red carpet treatment' for your face courtesy of Aqua's transformative Hydra-Facial, which aims to replace dull and poor complexions with super hydrated, plumped and smooth skin. Glycolic acid banishes impurities, boosts collagen production and shrinks pore size, while Dermalux LED Phototherapy maximises the absorption of all the serums deep into your skin. This is an ideal treatment to have just before the wedding - although it is recommended to start six months in advance if you have any dermatological concerns - to ensure a radiant W-day glow.
£95 / £65 for starter Hydra-Facial

For enhancing your beauty...
Dermaplaning at Aqua
Dermaplaning is a brand new treatment at the Truro salon. "This treatment is great for brides. It's like having a natural filter," says Ady of Aqua. Using a scalpel at a 40-degree angle to tauten the skin, swiping motions are delicately made to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair. The result? Improved skin texture and tone, scar reduction and an overall brighter complexion, while simultaneously improving the natural contouring of your face - enhancing the cheekbones and jawline - and slowing the signs of ageing. Another bonus for brides is that the removal of the vellus hair (peach fuzz) will allow perfect make-up application - and won't regrow any thicker or darker.
