I wanted to pamper myself in the run up to the wedding but I was never really one for facials so I wasn’t sure where to start. All I knew is that I wanted glowing skin and a healthy complexion on the big day, and being a smoker (now ex) and a living in the smog I knew that I would be needing a little bit of help!
I enlisted the help of a good friend who is a beauty and health PR and knows all the top spots for waxing, massage and the ultimate facial and she recommended a few places reknowned for good treatments. I opted for Scin, in Nottinghill, not far from where I live in London and the reviews were fantastic.
Scin is a small, boutique salon, run by 2 lovely sisters, where I had the most fantastic facial I had ever had. I told them I was getting married and what I wanted and they recommended the hour long dermalogica facial, which was deep cleansing but also incredibly relaxing – my favourite bit was the added bonus of the Indian head massage whilst my face mask dried. Utter relaxation and you come out feeling fantastic.

Scin quite often have special offers and I was lucky enough to get 6 treatments for the price of 4 so it made it all very worthwhile – I managed to squeeze 5 of those in before the wedding and then treated myself to my last one just before my honeymoon a month later.
I would definitely recommend preparing your skin in the run up to the wedding – enjoy it, you will feel so pampered and your skin will be fresh and glowing. Make sure you speak to your therapist about the best time to have the treatments, – you don’t want that post facial outbreak on the wedding day.
