Whether you’ve got six months or six days until the big day, here are prep tools guaranteed to leave you with glowy skin.

There are two things in this world even the most organised bride on the planet can’t control on the big day – the weather and their skin. More stress, less sleep and unlimited parties and planning have the potential to push anyone’s complexion to crisis point.

The last thing you want is to be a bride with blemishes, eye bags or dull skin when you take the spotlight next to your future spouse. That’s where FOREO comes to the rescue. Guaranteed to get your skin sparkling, arm yourself with the right tools and techniques and you can sidetrack those wedding countdown facials you promised yourself but never found time to fit in.

We spoke to Nichola Joss, FOREO’s Celebrity Facialist, for the ultimate advice for ‘I do’-ready skin.

“In an ideal world you’d start prepping your skin about six months before so if you’ve got problems like rosacea or acne you can really start addressing them. However if you’re short on time there are some great last minute fixes you can do like mini massages or 90 second masks to enliven and energise the skin and give it a smoothness before your make-up gets applied,” advises 

Marriage-ready Massage

By manipulating the facial muscles you boost circulation, release tension and in doing so create smoother, plumper looking skin. Something Nichola Joss knows all too well – her hands-on technique has earned her A-list fans worldwide, including Royal bride, Meghan Markle.

While she uses her hands, all of FOREO’s devices have T-Sonic pulsation technology that do the hard work for you. Vibrating your skin into good shape, as well as stimulating the top layers to create bounce and glowiness, the micro-movements help deliver products deeper into the skin in double-quick time.

Cleansing Ceremony

“The more you cleanse your skin the more radiant it will be,” says Nichola. Start as you mean to go on with LUNA cleanser. Made from skin-friendly silicone it removes 99.5% of dirt and oil, feels amazing on the skin and comes in a variety of sizes.

This includes the LUNA go – a palm-sized version that’s ideal for accompanying brides-to-be on hen-do’s, so that cleansing routine doesn’t have to be ditched after a night of dancing and drinks.

Wife-to-be Treatments

“Masks are really important as they introduce an element of hydration and help to brighten and keep the skin glowing. Adding something like FOREO’s UFO into your regime will be a big help as the combination of LED light, cryotherapy and thermal technology will help to sort your skin out from the lower level right through to surface levels.” 

Boosting circulation via thermo-technology, using cold temperatures to constrict blood vessels and minimise redness and any inflammation from pre-wedding hot flushes, FOREO’s UFO can be used in the run up to the big day or on the morning of to ensure nothing gets in the way of ruining your wedding photos. In 90 seconds you’ll be spruced up and won’t have to worry about shiny skin thanks to the LED therapy. It regulates oil production so you don’t have to overdo it with the make-up.

I-do Eyes

If your eyes are starting to give away that you’re feeling the effects of event organising, prep them up with some manual stimulation. FOREO’s IRIS fits around the eye contour and delivers FOREO’s famous alternating T-Sonic Technology, with various speeds to wiggle and tap away wrinkles and fine lines. With an in-built timer so you don’t get too trigger happy, use it before bed to help relieve any pent up tension that’s surfaced as a result of invites and table plans.
