Congratulations Are in Order. YOU Are Engaged!
This is such an exciting and busy time in your life. All the detailed planning starts now. Let me help map out your Ultimate Wedding Day Beauty Plan. You will have your best skin, brows and lashes, ever. Let’s get started!
6–12 months | 4–6 months | 1 week
“Debbie will give you the coveted brows, lashes & skin you have always dreamed of. She is truly a magician of beauty.”
Glowing Skin is a must-have.
You are smart, organized girl, and right on schedule. You have plenty of time to get your skin in the best shape ever. What do you want to work on? Texture? A serious glow? A smooth, clear complication? Yes please to all!
Now is the time to be consistent with your skincare. Good skincare takes around 2 to 6 months to start seeing results. The sooner you get on it, the better. That said, if you only have a few weeks to go until the wedding, don’t panic - I have arsenal of tricks up my sleeve. There is plenty I can do to make your skin look AMAZING.
“Give me 6 months of us working together, and I will literally transform your skin, lashes and brows to the best they have ever been.”
The Custom Facial.
Your facials will range from chemical peels, LED, microcurrent, dermaplaning, microchanneling, oxygen therapy + so much more! Let’s work on generating collagen + elastin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, improve tone and texture & pigmentation, plus lift and firm your skin. We will work together to get you on the best schedule, for optimal results. Your treatments will range form every 2-6 weeks, depending on the treatments we decide. During your first visit, we will narrow down exactly what results you want by your wedding. Let’s get to the point and zero in on your goals.
Add Retinol. Oh that glow!
Now is the best time to add a Retinol to your nightly routine. Nervous? Don’t be. All Retinols are not created equal. Kroh Retinol Cream is gentle, effective and clean. It will takes 6-12 weeks to start seeing results, so let’s get started. Acne, reducing fine lines, collagen building, hyperpigmentation, congested skin + increasing cell turnover. Give your skin time to get adjusted. You will see big changes. Promise.
+ Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C Serum in your morning routine is another essential key product. My supercharged antioxidant, hyaluronic, Vitamin C Serum is scientifically formulated to fend off daily harmful environmental aggressors like UV rays and pollution, while defending against lines and wrinkles, reversing existing damage to skin and reducing inflammation. Boost collagen production, firm, brighten and even skin tone + add vital hydration. Your skin will be radiant, healthy, fresh and glowing.
P.S. Don’t forget Your Neck, Décolleté + Hands. Start paying extra attention to these areas. This skin is way more prone to wrinkling. I suggest you treat these areas the same as your face. You will be happy you did in the years to come!
“Let’s start by upgrading your home AM/PM skincare routine and booking you out for regular facials.”
Beauty Vitamins.
Consider taking beauty vitamins for longer, shinier hair and glowing skin. Collagen comes in so many forms. Lot’s of different choices. Do your research, and always check with your doctor first.
If you are wanting to try Botox or Fillers . . .
You need plenty of time with this one, trust me. Your skin needs time to settle, and you need time to manage expectations. Ask me, I can refer you to the best in the Bay.
Hair Style + Makeup.
Bring lots of pictures you love. All inspiration is encouraged. Make a Pinterest board. Bring pictures of your dress and shoes. Bring hair accessories. Venue vibe. Let me know what you love, and what you could pass on.
Cut + Color & Extensions Remember that these pictures and videos will last a lifetime. Now is not the time for drastic measures. Best advice, stay within your personal style and comfort zone. Start experimenting 4-6 months out. I can refer you to the most talented stylists in the Bay Area.
“Seriously, Put your tweezers down. Yes, you. Leave your brows in my hands and you will have your dream brows for your big day. You will be glad you did.”
Your Dream Brows.
This is one of the most important features on your face. I can’t stress this enough! So many services we can try before the big day! Brow shaping, tinting or henna. Brow Lamination, Microfeathering + all the brow products that suit you.
Microfeathering. Brows naturally enhanced.
If your brows are sparse, thin and otherwise not your dream brows, Microfeathering is your ticket. Consider starting at 6-12 months out. Imagine having your best brows ever, without worrying about sweat or water getting in the way of perfection. The whole process calls for planning ahead. My signature style is soooooo natural. Your secret is safe with me.
“Lash extensions are the perfect accessory for brides. You will have stunning lashes from the rehearsal dinner through the honeymoon. Book your final appointment 3 to 4 days before the wedding. I can do a combo lash for a more natural look, which is a Keratin Lash Lift paired with a half-set of extensions. Absolutely gorgeous!”
Lashes. Ohhhhh La La!
Starting a lash grower now is a win. My favorite is Grande Lash. Try a Keratin Lash Lift + Tint, or Extensions and a 1/2 set. There are so many different things we can try. Plus, I have amazing so many products to get your lashes in the best shape ever!
“Skip Mascara for your big day. Try Lash Extensions or a Keratin Lash Lift with a half-set. Don’t run the risk of running mascara on your beautiful dress or ruining your makeup.”
Start acids such as AHAs and BHAs.
These are my go-to acids at providing amazing results for dullness, acne, texture and hyperpigmentation. A custom cocktail by a professional is your best recipe.
Exfoliate your Body.
If it is not in your routine already, start exfoliating your body at least 2 to 3 times a week. If you have sensitive skin, or are prone to eczema, you might want to avoid any products with fragrance or a scrub. Go for choices such as a salicylic, lactic or glycolic acid cream.
Spray Tans.
If a tan is your vibe, start early on this one, and go to a professional. Professionals can regulate the color whether a light glow, or a deep tan. All spray tan are not created equal. I can refer you to the best.
Waxing.
Ditch that razor, and stick with a consistent regimen of waxing. It takes time to slow the hair growth. Underarms, bikinis and Brazilians are the place to start. Or even better yet, start laser a year before.
Nails.
From the proposal through your honeymoon, your hands are going to be on display a lot, showing off that bling. A good manicure/pedicure is the icing on the cake. Don’t overlook this major detail. Hundreds of engagement photos, hugging loved ones, drinks, dinner, dancing, and exchanging your vows. You will want to start setting up regular manicures/pedicures 4-6 months before the big day. Lots of things to consider—shape, color, acrylic, gel, dip, or designs. Plus, finding a great artist.
