It’s the wedding season, and if you are the one tying the knot this year, then your main concern right now is how to look great on your day. Try to start a skin regimen atleast three months prior to the wedding for best results and choose from the following opportunities.
Sun exposure, pigmentation, scars, and everyday pollution, can leave our skin dull, and lifeless. Skin polishing is a wonderful method of exfoliating the lifeless upper crust of the skin and replacing it with a new fresh layer of skin. As tiny crystals are sprayed and rolled over the skin, they will gently remove the dull and damaged layer of the skin.
Oxygen allows the skin to fight radical damage. Oxygen infusion therapy is a procedure to replenish the skin with a dose of pure oxygen to improve its organic repairing ability, that in turn reduces blemishes and makes the skin look youthful. Using micro-needling jets, oxygen is infused into the inner layers of the skin, while the upper layer is cleansed and hydrated with serums.
To the stress of the honeymoon and countless lunches and dinners which you will be attending in your first few months as a bride, you would not want to add the tension of regular waxing and shaving. Laser hair removal works by permanently destroying the hair follicle. By focusing a high energy beam of light on it, the procedure eliminates the chances of hair growing back. The process takes a few sessions; so make sure you meet a dermatologist at least a couple of months before the wedding.
There are also medical facials that combine medical therapy and products with a beauty regimen. Based on your skin type your dermatologist will personalise these to suit your skin type.
