Our
Wedding Skin Guide
for Brides & Grooms
Considered skin care to support you as you prepare for your wedding day.
Preparing your skin is best approached with time, consistency and appropriate treatment selection. We begin with consultation, assess your skin and outline options that align with your timeline. The focus is on steady improvement and maintaining skin health in the months leading up to your wedding.
A personalised plan
Every wedding skin journey begins with a comprehensive consultation.
We take the time to understand your skin, your goals and your wedding timeline before creating a plan that’s tailored entirely to you. During your consultation, we assess:
Your current skin health and concerns
Your wedding date and key milestones
Makeup plans and desired skin outcomes
Lifestyle factors such as stress, hormones, travel, and sleep
Why start 6+ months before your wedding?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Like any organ, it responds best to steady, consistent care rather than sudden intervention. A full skin cell cycle takes approximately 4–6 weeks, and meaningful changes often require multiple cycles to build gradually and safely.
We generally recommend beginning at least six months prior to your wedding day. This allows time for your skin to respond, adjust, and strengthen without unnecessary pressure.
Starting early gives us space to:
Address specific concerns in a measured, staged way
Support barrier function and overall skin resilience
Improve texture and clarity over multiple skin cycles
Reduce the need for corrective treatments close to the event
Maintain results that feel natural and consistent with you.
If your timeline is shorter, we can outline a focused plan that works within it. The approach remains the same; considered, evidence-based, and aligned with your comfort level.
A plan for the groom
Skin preparation isn’t limited to one partner. Many grooms choose to address concerns such as shaving irritation, breakouts, uneven texture, or general skin maintenance in the lead-up to their wedding.
Our approach remains the same: consultation first, clear explanation, and a structured plan based on your timeline and skin type. We provide a professional, comfortable clinical environment where questions are encouraged and decisions are made at your pace.
No assumptions. No unnecessary treatments. Just considered care that supports healthy, balanced skin.
Your skin journey
All treatments are selected and timed with your wedding calendar in mind, using research-based approaches to ensure safe, predictable results.
Skin treatments:
Collagen stimulation and structured skin renewal
Management of acne and breakouts, including post-inflammatory pigmentation
Pigmentation correction and skin tone balancing
Fine lines and overall skin refinement
Hydration support and barrier repair
Texture improvement and pore refinement
LED light therapy to support healing and inflammation control
Maintenance treatments and event-ready facials.
Each patient’s journey starts with a skin consult.
Medical aesthetics:
For brides interested in subtle enhancements, our medical aesthetic consultation can focus on:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of volume and facial contouring
Lip definition and hydration
Collagen stimulation for improved skin firmness, texture, and radiance.
We tailor these treatments carefully to complement your natural features and your overall bridal skin plan.
Do’s and don’ts for bridal skin
Do:
Start early where possible
Maintain a consistent home-care routine
Communicate openly about concerns and goals with your clinician.
Don’t:
Try aggressive new treatments in the final month
Introduce untested products right before the wedding
Neglect hydration and skin barrier care.

We recommend booking your initial consultation 6 to 12 months before your wedding date to allow enough time for optimal results. Not sure where to start?

Testimonials
Meet Katie
“I booked my skin consultation at Derm Haus with my wedding, wanting my skin to feel healthy and balanced. My goals were to support my skin as I age, and improve oiliness, texture and some redness from acne scarring.
Allie was incredibly knowledgeable and took a holistic approach, explaining how factors like diet, gut health and cell turnover affect the skin. Even with a shorter timeline, she created a comprehensive treatment plan, along with a personalised home care routine.
By the time my wedding arrived, my skin felt amazing. My makeup applied beautifully and I felt confident without relying on heavy foundation. Six months on, my skin is the best it’s ever been. I’m so glad I chose to invest in a structured plan. The team made the entire experience feel thoughtful, professional and genuinely supportive.”
Meet Tarin
“I first came to see Derm Haus when I was 6 week postpartum and 5–6 months before my wedding. Lauren was absolutely fantastic and she did a full assessment and individualised skin care plan that would help me meet my goal of having healthy glowing skin for my wedding. My skin was the healthiest it's ever been by the time my wedding arrived. I received so many compliments and my make up artist commented on how amazing my skin was and how little prep she needed to do. Can't thank Lauren enough. She was amazing and the whole process was one of the easiest things I could do to prep for my wedding day.”
