A Celebrity Facialist's Guide To The Ultimate Wedding Prep Skincare Routine

When we get to the three-month mark, I recommend going in for regular facials. I love to recommend a weekly facial, if the budget allows, or every other week. 

During this time I would look into a combination of treatments. One week I would do a HydraFacial or a silk peel which is going to deeply cleanse the skin and prevent any fear or thought of breakout. Then for the following week I would go into The Method by Augustinus Bader to create a reservoir of hydration or a “trust fund” within the skin, making it resilient and contributing to the glow. 

This is also your time to do weekly extractions to really refine the smoothness and the vitality of the skin.

The Method by Augustinus Bader:

-Start with applying Augustinus Bader The Cleansing Balm, to clean skin, while delivering a gentle massage to release tension in the neck and jaw, and encourage blood flow

-Next, apply the Augustinus Bader The Cream Cleansing Gel to deeply penetrate the pores and remove barriers for active products to come followed by an Oxygen Infusion powered with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane, Vitamins A C E to build a reservoir of hydration

-Next, applying the Augustinus Bader The Face Oil, Gavin delivers a facial massage inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Kobido to activate the facial muscles and lymph nodes, followed by Effleurage to encourage the breakup of lymphatic drainage

-Next, applying the Augustinus Bader The Face Cream Mask, Gavin applies cryo sticks to work underneath the cheekbones and thread through the temple for increased lymphatic drainage

-Next, applying the Augustinus Bader The Ultimate Soothing Cream, Gavin puts clients under an LED light to tighten the fibers of the skin, lift and rhythmically contract the muscles. This is followed with a second round of Effleurage to remove any remaining congestion.

-The process is finished with a Radiofrequency treatment that settles the skin and a Contour Kinetic Suction. The results are then sealed with Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream.
