Burke Williams Spa's Theresa Armour recommends brides start facials 3-6 months before the wedding.
With wedding season approaching, one of the biggest questions brides are asking is, "When should I start prepping my skin and what should I be doing at home?"
According to Theresa Armour, co-founder of Burke Williams Spa, with locations around California, brides should begin facials 3–6 months before the wedding to gradually improve tone, texture, and hydration without stressing the skin.
She emphasizes that results don’t come from treatments alone and consistency at home is key. To maintain and enhance results between appointments, Armour recommends a routine focused on hydration, gentle exfoliation, and collagen support.
The spa’s H2V Skincare collectionis designed to extend the facial experience at home, using ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides to keep skin plump, smooth, and wedding-ready.
The takeaway: Glowing bridal skin is built over time—not in the final weeks.
The bonus: Some built-in wellness time gives busy brides a well-deserved respite from wedding planning.
