Face Masks for Brides and their Wedding Party: My Guide to Glowing Skin
As a facial therapist, I've seen the transformative power of a good skincare routine. Starting your skin routine early for your wedding and finding the right products for you can make all the difference in achieving a beautiful bridal glow. Here are my top picks for face masks (all cruelty free) that will prepare your skin, leaving you and your bridal party radiant, relaxed and ready for makeup.
Best Overall Facial Mask: Olixa Centella Mask
A reliable all-rounder, the Olixa Centella Mask takes the crown. Packed with Centella Asiatica extract, this mask hydrates the skin, repairs and soothes inflammation and calms redness. It’s an absolute essential in my kit and I always have it on hand on wedding mornings. It’s suitable for most skin types, even soothing sensitive and sensitised skin. I love the versatility of the mask, it can also be used as an overnight treatment so you wake up with beautiful skin on your wedding day.

Formulated with hyaluronic acid and potent botanical extracts, this mask delivers intense moisture that lasts for days. Say goodbye to dry, dull skin and hello to a dewy, luminous complexion that will have you glowing down the aisle. This mask is also refillable so you can send the packaging back to be reused!

This kaolin-based mask is brilliant at drawing out impurities, absorbing excess oil, refining pores and removing dead skin cells. Perfect for a pre-wedding deep cleanse, it leaves your skin feeling fresh, clear, and ready for makeup application.

As you prepare for your wedding day, remember that skincare is key to achieving that bridal glow. Start early, try to be as consistent as possible, and don't be afraid to build in self care rituals into your routine. I can't stress enough the importance of testing out products ahead of your wedding to avoid any potential skin reactions. Prepping your skin in advance will allow you to glow from within, help your makeup application and longevity of your makeup.
