The first step is to determine what is causing your reactions by getting a proper diagnosis from a dermatologist or allergist. They can help identify what may be causing your reactions and address your concerns in a safe and effective way. If you know what’s causing your skin to be sensitive, you can avoid those products or tools in your bridal beauty routine.

When booking a professional makeup artist, it’s important to communicate any sensitivities from the start so that the artist can work with you to find the best solution for your wedding day. They’ll also be able to use the trial to test out any products you’re not sure about. Let them know what products or tools have caused reactions in the past as well as the information you gathered from visiting your skin specialist. They may be able to suggest solutions, like mineral makeup, that are good for more sensitive skins. For those who are very sensitive, they may even be willing to use only skincare and makeup products you already know are ‘safe’, or that you provide. The important thing is to communicate with them well ahead of time to allow them to prepare.

Speaking of preparation, it’s important to begin your bridal skin care regime at least six months before your wedding day. This will give your skin plenty of time to adjust to any new products or treatments.

Finally, in the final run-up to your wedding, you should avoid any new skin care products, treatments, facials, or anything else that could potentially cause a reaction. Keep things simple and be sure to cover the basics like drinking enough water and getting plenty of sleep too.
