Do Plan ahead
The ring, is fabulous; the engagement emotional and magical… now what? Aside from your wedding checklist, you also have to plan for looking your best on your special moment. It takes some time and planning ahead to ensure that your walk down the aisle as perfect as you desire. Skin that glows and radiates joy is not an overnight act.
That’s why it’s so important to consult a skincare expert who can prepare a bridal skin care treatment for you. Take note too that you may need to consider booking weeks ahead for a series of Laser Hair Removal sessions, Skin needling procedures and LED treatments. With some preparation, the results will not disappoint!

Do Sit down with a Skincare Pro
If you’re stressed, the first place it shows is on your skin (more on this later). With all there is in your to-do list at this time, you have to make doubly sure that you stick to your skincare regimen, including visits to your Temple Therapist. She’s going to be one of your besties from now on, all through the day you walk down the aisle (and beyond!). There are so many treatments she can help you with, within your budget and towards your goals. While the below recommendations may not all be needed, a consultation early on with Rene or any of our Skin Experts is a must.
- Laser Hair Removal — Be carefree on your most special day. With Temple Laser Hair Removal, we can achieve about 80% – 95% reduction in 10 sessions. Type and volume of hair growth, hereditary factors, and certain medications can affect the efficacy. Take note that no one can be 100% hairless, but we can really get close to that. There is no downtime with hair removal, just remember to shave the day before your session and not on the day, so that your skin is not sensitised before the treatment. Ideally, a laser session every four weeks works best.
- Skin Needling — Temple’s 2021 Best Skin Transformation Award winning treatment includes Skin Needling sessions to encourage the skin’s collagen production. Collagen creates the framework of your skin and tissues. This treatment will ensure that your skin will be plump and supple, with a lustrous glow. Your soon-to-be S.O. won’t be able to take their eyes off you. See results in 3-4 weeks, or up to 3 months for more intensive treatments.
- O2 Lift Facial — Imagine releasing fresh, healthy skin hidden below layers of older skin cells with a process that’s both gentle and invigorating. Using oxygen, plant-derived stem cells, peptides and specially concentrated enzymatic botanicals, O2 LIFT delivers a premium spa experience with immediate results. This anti-aging, luxurious spa treatment produces gorgeous luminous skin that feels as healthy as it is radiant.
- Vit C Brightening Facial — helps to fight premature ageing caused by stress and lifestyle, it visibly restores the skin’s firmness, luminosity & youthfulness. With pure Vitamin C to brighten dull skin and increase hydration, this is a perfect facial before an event or for brides to be.
- Facial Peels — there’s a variety to choose from to slough off the old and dull layer and reveal the smooth, rosy and glowing skin underneath — Glow Facial, Lift Peels, Lightening Peels, Acne Peels and Anti-ageing Peels. Your Temple Skin Expert will be happy to write a skincare plan for you that includes the right chemical peel and exfoliation suited for you.
- Fat Freezing — Freeze stubborn pockets of fat that you can not seem to get rid of even with spending hours at the gym. The great thing about Fat Freezing or Cryolipolysis is that there is virtually no down time and you can expect a leaner, more toned shape. Continue to eat healthily, stay active and support your body goals with some Fat Freezing.

Don’t Stress
Stress can manifest very quickly on your skin in the form of rashes, inflammation or breakouts. Stress triggers a chemical response in your body that can inhibit skin problems from healing, causing more havoc. When you are dealing with too much on your plate, there’s a tendency to skip your regular skincare routine and this will only make matters worse.
Always find some time for self-care. Take a deep breath, centre yourself and rest the mind by doing something you love. Whether this means listening or singing along to your fave playlist. Or maybe you like bushwalking. How about a relaxing bath with some tea? When things begin to be too much, seek some solitude and refuge with a Temple Body Ritual. Getting a massage is a great way to relieve stress but can also uplift your mood and even boost your immune system.

Don’t Lose Sleep
The skin, and your body for that matter, can only repair itself best when you are asleep. Fewer breakouts, brighter eyes, even skin tone and less puffiness are only some of the benefits you can take pleasure in on your journey to wedded bliss!
Sleep — along with good diet and exercise — is now considered the third pillar of health. While we sleep, our bodies get busy regenerating cells for our skin, muscles, hair and so on. Our brain repairs and reorganises itself. And, the slow, relaxed breathing while asleep also helps in calming the nervous system and reduces stress. Less stress means lowered production of cortisol, too. This is the fight-or-flight hormone that tells our bodies to hang on to every ounce of fat to survive.
Getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night will allow you to reap the full benefits.

Do Detox to Glow from within
Start green-juicing or nourish your gut with fermented food like yoghurt, kombucha, or kimchi. Bone broth is also a collagen and antioxidant-rich food to add to your diet. Your gut also affects your skin, so maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is key to glowing skin on the day of your wedding. Skin Omegas such as the nutrient we get from fish oil also supports healthy skin from the inside. Omegas are a powerful source of hydration and the skin’s luminous glow.
Aside from this you can add a step to your shower or bath routine and start dry-brushing. This yields major skin benefits, including exfoliation and increased blood circulation (i.e. a healthy glow). From an overall wellness standpoint, it also revs up the flow of lymph, the all-important fluid that whisks toxins out of our systems.
Book a Temple Dr Wraps detox session once a month or so to help recover from skin imperfections by promoting blood and lymph circulation and metabolism.

On your Wedding Day
Remember to put together a bag with all of the necessities for last minute fixes and touch ups. Things like dental floss, hair pins, extra earing backs, tissues, tweezers, mini concealer, the Image Ormedic Sheer Pink Lip Enhancement Complex for fuller shinier lips that can be blended with your special wedding lippy, safety pins, breath mints and a bottle of water are always a great idea.
And that’s it! What’s left is for you to relax, smile and enjoy every moment of the start of a lifetime with your best friend…
