Wedding skin - PRE wedding skin care tips

Pre Wedding Skin Care. Tips from  creative control weddings San Diego

You have carefully planned all the details of your wedding from just the right gown to the perfect photographer most likely Creative Control weddings photography by Alec. But what about skin care? Problem skin can be devastating for anyone especially a bride-to-be. There are solutions from good at-home care to seeking the advice of professionals.

For mild to moderate skin problems, a good home treatment regimen may be the answer. Products should include a cleanser/make-up remover, a gentle facial scrub, toner, and a moisturizer suited to your skin type.

Home treatment may not be enough for moderate to severe skin problems and you may want to consult with a licensed Esthetician or Dermatologist (preferably a referral from a friend). You may even find a Dermatologist who has an Esthetician on staff.

If you opt for professional treatment, I would suggest a consultation before beginning any kind of treatment. If you and the Esthetician or Dermatologist click, start with conservative treatments and avoid "packages". For example, some Estheticians offer packages such as pay for nine facials and get the tenth one free. You may not need or want ten facials. If you are offered products or medication that you may not have knowledge of, surf the net. You can never be too informed when it comes to what products go in and on your body.
