SKINCARE

Put your bridal glow on

Namika Kant, Technical Expert, Envi Salons, takes Vidhi Arya through the bridal skincare journey, designed to deliver lasting radiance and flawless skin for every wedding moment.

When we speak of bridal beauty, skincare is no longer a last-minute indulgence but a strategic journey that defines a bride’s overall look. Bridal skincare has evolved into a carefully planned regimen where every treatment is chosen for its precision and proven results. As weddings comprise extended celebrations and high-definition photography, brides are increasingly turning to professional treatments that deliver visible improvements within specific timelines.

Understanding these options is key to finding solutions that fit a bride’s skin type, schedule and expectations. Namika Kant, Technical Expert, Envi Salons suggests four standout treatments, their unique benefits, ideal timings and suitability for a bride-to-be.

1. CORRECTIVE FACIAL

The Corrective Facial is designed for brides who seek more than just surface glow – the ones who need beauty that shines from within. It targets underlying skin issues like acne, pigmentation, uneven texture and dullness. By addressing the root causes, it helps prevent last-minute breakouts, refines skin tone and ensures makeup glides on flawlessly.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Brides can look forward to visibly lighter acne marks and pigmentation. The ultimate result is even and supple skin, with a naturally radiant complexion and balanced hydration — neither overly oily nor dry.

PROCEDURE

The session starts with deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation, followed by targeted serums or masks based on the skin’s needs, whether anti-acne, brightening, or calming. Next come careful extractions, a circulation-boosting massage and a final layer of hydration to strengthen the skin barrier.

TIMELINES

Brides should start with the first session 8-10 weeks before the wedding, taking 3-4 sessions (spaced 2-3 weeks apart). The final session can be done a week before the big day.

WHO SHOULD AVOID IT

Brides with hypersensitive skin prone to allergies. Also, those on strong dermatologist-prescribed medication must consult their doctor before opting for this.

PRICE RANGE

₹10,000-12,000 per session approximately (varies by customisation)

2. HYDRAFACIAL

The HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, hydrates, and infuses antioxidants — all in one go.

Non-invasive and customisable, it delivers instant brightness and lasting skin health, giving brides that coveted ‘lit-from-within’ glow for wedding lights and HD cameras.

EXPECTED RESULTS

With HydraFacial, skin feels fresh, plump and deeply hydrated with pores and fine lines visibly reduced. The result is smoother texture and a radiant glow that lasts through every celebration.

PROCEDURE

First, the skin is cleansed and exfoliated to remove dead skin. Then, painless vortex suction extractions are done to clear clogged pores. Ultimately, intense hydration is provided with hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich serums.

TIMELINES

Brides should get the first session 6-8weeks before the wedding, taking a total of 2-3 sessions. The final session should be 3-4 days before the wedding.

WHO SHOULD AVOID IT

WHO SHOULD AVOID IT

Brides with active skin infections, sunburn or open wounds should steer clear of HydraFacial. Also, it is not recommended for females who have had strong peels or laser recently.

PRICE RANGE

₹5,000-6000 per session approximately

3. POWER C+ FACIAL

Power C+ Facial is enriched with high-potency vitamin C, known for brightening, repairing sun damage and stimulating collagen. It’s designed for brides battling dullness, early pigmentation and uneven skin tone. This facial helps with a spot-less glow that lasts through long ceremonies, multiple events and hours of photography.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Brides can expect lighter dull patches and mild pigmentation, firmer skin from collagen stimulation and a bright, even-toned complexion that stays luminous well beyond the big day.

PROCEDURE

The skin is first cleansed and exfoliated to prep for absorption. Next comes the star ingredient: concentrated vitamin C serums and masks are applied to the face. The skin is then massaged to stimulate circulation and enhance product penetration.

TIMELINES

Brides should begin 6-8 weeks before the wedding, taking 2-3 sessions. The last session should ideally be a week before the big day.

WHO SHOULD AVOID IT

Brides with very sensitive or reactive skin.

PRICE RANGE

₹7,000-9000 per session approximately

4. PRO LIFT TREATMENT (U)

The Pro Lift Treatment (U) is an advanced anti-ageing and skin-tightening solution designed to give brides a naturally lifted and youthful appearance — without surgery. It uses state-of-the-art technology to stimulate collagen production, firm sagging skin and enhance facial contours. As wedding photography highlights every detail, a firmer, more contoured face makes makeup sit beautifully and results in the most appealing clicks.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Brides can expect skin that feels firmer, more elastic, and beautifully defined around the jawline and cheekbones for a fresh, youthful finish.

PROCEDURE

The treatment begins with cleansing and prepping the skin. A specialised device delivers energy to deeper skin layers, targeting collagen and elastin fibres. This stimulates tightening and lifting while improving elasticity. It typically takes 60-90 minutes per session.

TIMELINES

Brides should schedule the first session 2-3 months before the wedding, as results build gradually. Depending on skin laxity, 1-2sessions are recommended, with the final one ideally 3-4 weeks before the wedding.

WHO SHOULD AVOID IT

It is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women and for those with pacemakers, metal implants or severe skin conditions. Also, brides-to-be with very sensitive or inflamed skin must consult their aesthetician/dermatologist first.

PRICE RANGE

₹5000-7000 per session approximately.
