Your Guide to Radiant Skin on Your Wedding Day
Planning a wedding is exciting, but it can also bring stress (and let’s be honest—late nights, a few tears, and perhaps more caffeine than usual!). Your skin can easily start to show signs of stress, so it’s essential to get it into top form well before your big day. At Ivy Clinic, we specialise in pre-wedding skincare programs, ensuring your skin is glowing and photo-ready without a hint of dryness or breakout in sight. Check out our expert tips below to achieve bridal beauty that’ll have you feeling as stunning as you look!
1. Start Early with a Personalised Skincare Plan
Great skin doesn’t happen overnight, so ideally, start prepping your skin six to twelve months ahead. At Ivy Clinic, we can create a personalised plan that fits seamlessly into your schedule. Whether it’s monthly facials, targeted treatments, or product recommendations, our skincare experts assess your skin's unique needs and time treatments perfectly to avoid last-minute reactions.

2. Prioritise Exfoliation to Shed Dull Skin
To reveal fresh, smooth skin, regular exfoliation is a must. A gentle exfoliating routine, like the Ultraceuticals Exfoliating Gel, can help clear away dead skin cells without disrupting your skin’s natural barrier. For an even more intense exfoliation, consider our Quick-Time Refine Hydrobrasion treatment to buff and polish your skin. Aim to exfoliate once or twice a week as part of your pre-wedding skincare routine.
3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Hydrated skin is happy skin. To maintain that coveted glow, it’s essential to moisturise daily and drink plenty of water. For an extra boost, consider a professional hydrating treatment like Sunekos, an injectable skin booster that deeply nourishes and hydrates from within, plumping and revitalising your skin for long-lasting radiance. Sunekos is one of our go-to pre-wedding treatments for brides seeking a natural, dewy finish.
4. Use Actives Wisely for Maximum Glow
Active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs, and Vitamin C can work wonders for your skin, but it's essential to use them correctly. Choosing the right actives for your skin type and applying them in the correct way is key to avoiding irritation or breakouts before your big day. At Ivy Clinic, our skincare experts can guide you on the best actives for your skin and help you incorporate them into a routine that keeps your skin balanced, glowing, and wedding-ready.
5. Target Pigmentation and Texture Early
If you have any concerns with pigmentation or uneven skin texture, treat them early with advanced treatments. Our Cosmelan depigmentation package is a favourite among brides seeking to even out pigmentation and restore a clear, smooth complexion. Another excellent option is the Dermapen (microneedling) treatment, which stimulates collagen and smooths texture. Addressing these issues months in advance allows plenty of time for your skin to heal and renew.
6. Pamper with Monthly Facials
Monthly facials can make a world of difference, especially with the stress that comes with planning a wedding. Regular facials keep your skin in top condition by deeply cleansing, rejuvenating, and prepping it for more targeted treatments. At Ivy Clinic, our facials are fully customisable to your skin type, ensuring we’re addressing exactly what your skin needs at each stage of your journey. Check out our facial options and booking availability on ivyclinic.co.nz.
7. Focus on Consistency Over Complication
A simple, effective skincare routine is your best friend as your big day approaches. Stick to gentle cleansers, a hydrating serum, a quality moisturiser, and sunscreen. If you’re new to skincare, Ivy Clinic offers affordable introductory skin packages that includes regular treatments and guidance on which products work best for you. Our team of professionals is here to help you establish a routine that you’ll look forward to and, more importantly, see real results from.
