Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and achieving a radiant, flawless complexion is essential for feeling confident and beautiful. Proper skin preparation requires a dedicated skincare routine, healthy habits, and the right products leading up to the big day.

As a beauty professional with over 15 years of experience in the wedding makeup industry, I've witnessed how well-prepped skin enhances makeup application and longevity. Incorporating quality skincare products into your regimen can elevate your bridal glow. 

Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure your skin is at its best when you say, "I do."
