5 Beauty Products You May Need for Wedding Day Touchups

If you’ve hired a professional hair & makeup artist who specializes in Bridal work, chances are you won’t need to do much once they are done. Even with it being such a long day, they know which products and techniques are best to keep your hair & makeup looking fresh all day and night! But it’s always a good idea to have a few staples on hand. So I’ve put together a few beauty products you may need for wedding day touchups.

Translucent Powder

If you are one to get shiny, it’s a great idea to have a pressed translucent powder on hand. Especially if you are getting married outside, during a warm month or just like to break it down on the dance floor. 💃

I definitely recommend a pressed powder so you’re not messing around with loose powder in your wedding dress! I love this powder by It Cosmetics because it’s a talc-free formula, it mattifies but is infused with silk so it’s not too drying.

6 Reasons You Should Try Dermaplaning

6 reasons you should try dermaplaning

What is Dermaplaning?

Well, for starters…. you could call it a best kept beauty secret! I’m going to walk you through 6 reasons you should try dermaplaning and how you can do (a version of) it at home!

First, let’s start with what is dermaplaning? Dermaplaning (or microplaning or blading) is not your traditional method of shaving… that’s right; don’t just go grab your hubby’s razor and shave away! 🙈 

6 reasons you should try dermaplaning

1. It’s a gentle and painless exfoliant treatment that removes peach fuzz and dead skin with a tiny scrape scalpel.

2. It helps make the surface of your skin smooth, youthful & brighter and can be done on any skin type.

Think about all that your skin is exposed to on a daily basis. Makeup, pollution, sun damage, etc. This can cause the top layer of your skin to appear dull and can make you look more aged/older. So, removing the dead skin cells bring the newer skin cells forward.

3. As I mentioned before, it removes peach fuzz, dead skin cells and can help reduce acne scarring.
