If nothing else, while you are lying there being pampered you can come up with a plan! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">If you don’t already have a facialist that you see on a regular basis, ask around and see if you can get some recommendations from friends, family and co workers. A referral from a happy client will seldom lead you astray.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">If you don’t have a referral from anyone, check out day spas and medi-spas in your area.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">If your budget doesn’t have wiggle room for facials look at the aesthetics schools in your area. Prior to graduating students have to clock in hundreds of hours of facials and beauty treatments, and as such you can get a fabulous facial very economically.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br /></span><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Once you have found your place for treatments, you and your facialist need to come up with a plan for getting your skin ready for the big day.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Sometimes that will only mean having a facial the week before the ceremony, other times it will be a more comprehensive plan that involves hydrating facials, deep cleansing facials, exfoliating treatments – whatever is necessary to give you that polished, beautiful look.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">One of the most fabulous things you can do for your skin is to have a microdermabrasion treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This is where a machine is used to remove the dead and dull skin on the surface leaving you with a smooth, fabulous, glowing complexion.  <a href="http://www.dermasweep.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Dermasweep</span> </a>is a highly evolved form of  </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;">microdermabrasion that follows the intense exfoliation with infusion treatments.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRp4__6ANMbQi0Z91pI84GQF6GTQutVsmv9Eb_jTw80ubO3khp-r9C6vqFiHq3vs3k2LVWVwg-MCg-zk4JUgRc3L-VFc5oZi7fLTBnM1r08YJvKmpYt2MCZYh5Oa-6u5V-ddE9NxTkndI/s1600/DermaSweep-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRp4__6ANMbQi0Z91pI84GQF6GTQutVsmv9Eb_jTw80ubO3khp-r9C6vqFiHq3vs3k2LVWVwg-MCg-zk4JUgRc3L-VFc5oZi7fLTBnM1r08YJvKmpYt2MCZYh5Oa-6u5V-ddE9NxTkndI/s1600/DermaSweep-1.jpg" title="bridal-beauty-skin-and-makeup-004" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;"></span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;">You walk out the door with the most exquisite skin, and feel like a million dollars!</span><br /> <div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">While you are there, talk to your aesthetician about your eyebrows.  If you haven’t started grooming them, now is generally a good time to start.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL4yNJi_lBIF_Ddpfb7K3Wr8PJexFKcI9kuH-vvRw-jMbEgcPm14j9UiuTwPWyGArLooce1MRh6QfuiBzUYGgQlmLi2aUQDh_mgc7DRVC0mM4yHAb1liqD-PN1_DWcm6NdZzGy5r44ITE/s1600/brow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL4yNJi_lBIF_Ddpfb7K3Wr8PJexFKcI9kuH-vvRw-jMbEgcPm14j9UiuTwPWyGArLooce1MRh6QfuiBzUYGgQlmLi2aUQDh_mgc7DRVC0mM4yHAb1liqD-PN1_DWcm6NdZzGy5r44ITE/s1600/brow.jpg" title="bridal-beauty-skin-and-makeup-005" /></a><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Well maintained eyebrows are so very important  - they’re like punctuation marks on the face.  Eyebrows can make or break a great look. The most beautifully executed makeup can be made marginal by a furry, untamed brow.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Ideally your first brow wax shouldn’t be right before your wedding, just in case you don’t like it. You may also have some upper lip fluff that she can remove at the same time – we want that upper lip smooth!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">You may find that you need to change up </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;">your skin care products too. Maybe you’re not using the right components for your skin’s particular needs, or perhaps the products you’re using need modifying.</span> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Your aesthetician can guide you and help you create the ideal skin care regime for your lifestyle and for your budget.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;">No matter how talented your makeup artist is, your makeup will never look flawless and perfect if your skin is not in good condition, and especially not if your skin is dry, patchy or flaky. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;">Investing time in preparing your skin can give you a gorgeous, glowing complexion on your big day!</span></div></div>
