Key Takeaways
Here’s the short version before your next fitting.
- Start your skincare routine about three months before the wedding, well ahead of the makeup trial.
- By your 40s, skin makes far less of the oil that keeps it soft, and that dryness shows up under makeup.
- Four steps cover mature skin: a scrub a few times a week, a day balm, an eye balm and a night balm.
- Hair and makeup trials usually happen about two months out, so your routine should be settled by then.
- Skip brand-new products in the final week and keep scrubbing to your usual days.
- On the wedding morning, a thin layer of day balm is all the prep your skin needs before the makeup artist arrives.
