Preparing for your wedding is a journey. It is more than the day itself but the entire experience leading up to it. To look and feel your best while achieving a radiant, bridal glow requires more than just the perfect outfit, accessories, hair and makeup. You should take a holistic approach focused on consistent skincare, self-care rituals, and lifestyle choices. These include stress and sleep management, a balanced diet and an exercise routine will ensure you look and feel your best on your special day.
Here are some of my favourite products that you can incorporate into your bridal journey:
Skincare & Beauty
Lash and Brow Serum
Long, full lashes and well-defined brows help to frame your face. Lash and Brow Serums are a fantastic product that promotes hair growth, ensuring you have the perfect foundation for your makeup artist to work their magic.
SWEED Lash Serum (available on Look Fantastic for up to 20% off use code LFTFNAOMISS)
At Home LED Light Therapy Mask
LED therapy is a game-changer for skin rejuvenation and glow. An at home LED Mask is a convenient and easy solution to boost collagen production, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture.
Current Body (currently the best on the market. They also have a blue light option which is great for acne)
The Light Salon Boost (use code ‘NaomiSpurr15’ for 15% off @ Light Salon)
You can also find some LED mask options on look fantastic using my 20% discount code LFTFNAOMISS - it’s always important to check the devise is penetrating the skin at the right depths to ensure they actually give results.
Pimple Patches
It’s handy to have pimple patches on standby incase a spot arises. This is not uncommon! (with a little extra stress it’s in fact quite normal) It’s nothing to panic about, but you can be prepared for it. Patches are are great tool for reducing inflammation and redness of a blemish as well as stopping you from touching it and spreading bacteria. Here are a few of my tried and tested favourites:
Cosrx - good general all rounder for smaller pimples (available on Look Fantastic for up to 20% off use code LFTFNAOMISS)
Zitsticka Killa - the best for reducing inflammation on big spots
Zitsticka hyperfade - helps to fade coloured scars left behind
Body Lotion & Oils
Your wedding day beauty should be about your whole body. The Naturium Glowing Body Bundle includes a bio lipid restoring body lotion and the Glow Getter multi-oil body wash. These products will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and irresistibly radiant.

Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining supple and glowing skin. A water bottle with time markers serves as a gentle reminder to drink throughout the day, making it easier to achieve your daily water intake goals.

Deep Sleep Pillow Mist
A good night's sleep is essential for looking and feeling your best. Using a mist infused with lavender and chamomile, helps you relax and drift into a peaceful slumber. Some of my favourites are:
This Works - Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (available on Look Fantastic for up to 20% off use code LFTFNAOMISS)
Neom - The Perfect Nights Sleep Pillow Mist (available on Look Fantastic for up to 20% off use code LFTFNAOMISS)
Wildsmith - Stillness Pillow Mist
Silk Pillowcase
Silk pillow cases can be beneficial for your skin and hair. Silk's smooth texture reduces friction, minimizing the formation of sleep lines and preventing hair breakage and frizz (particularly beneficial for naturally curly hair). Unlike cotton, silk pillowcases retain moisture, promoting skin and hair hydration and preventing breakouts cause by pillow bacteria.

Bamboo Straws
Staying hydrated on your wedding morning is important not only for your skin but also preventing wedding hangovers! Having a bamboo straw avoids any potential lipstick smudges while being eco-friendly.
Jungle Straws - Reusable Bamboo Straws
Holistic preparation is key to looking and feeling your best on your wedding day. Adequate sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet are crucial for maintaining optimal skin health. Self-care rituals in your daily routine will help you destress, do wonders for your skin and promote overall well-being. Starting early gives your skin the time it needs to reset, rejuvenate and radiate. Embrace these habits, and let them continue to be a part of your life long after your wedding day!
