Step 1: The Foundation – Exfoliate for a Smooth Canvas
Enzyme Away – Gentle Exfoliation for Wedding-Day Glow
Flawless skin starts with exfoliation. Enzyme Away uses powerful pumpkin, papaya, and pineapple enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells, leaving your skin fresh, smooth, and radiant. Unlike harsh scrubs, it minimizes irritation and prevents congestion, ensuring a bright, even-toned complexion for your big day.

1. Why it’s a must: Clear, smooth skin means better product absorption and flawless makeup application.
How to use: 1-2 times per week in the months leading up to your wedding.
Step 2: Reveal Radiance – Hydrate & Brighten
Alive Lactic Acid Serum – Bridal Skin Perfection
Exfoliation isn’t just about removing dead skin—it’s about revealing hydrated, plump, and glowing skin underneath. Alive Serum’s 5% Lactic Acid gently resurfaces while boosting moisture retention, leaving your skin soft, even, and dewy.
- Why it’s essential: Hydrated skin = brighter glow, smoother texture, and fewer fine lines.
- How to use: Apply nightly leading up to your wedding for progressive radiance and hydration.
Step 3: Brighten & Even Skin Tone
Triple C Serum – The Ultimate Glow Booster
Dullness? Uneven skin tone? Hyperpigmentation? Not in your wedding photos! Triple C Xcell harnesses three powerful forms of Vitamin C to fade dark spots, enhance brightness, and boost collagen, ensuring your skin is radiant, firm, and picture-perfect.

Step 4: Refine & Smooth for a Youthful Glow
Iconic A – The Ultimate Refining Serum
As the wedding day approaches, skin renewal is essential. Iconic A (Retinaldehyde) is the perfect pre-wedding Vitamin A, boosting cell turnover, refining skin texture, and preventing breakouts, all while being gentler than traditional retinoids.
- Why brides love it: Ensures firm, smooth, and blemish-free skin—ideal for soft-focus, airbrushed makeup.
- How to use: Apply nightly or every other night for progressive skin refinement.
Step 5: Lock in Hydration for a Dewy Finish
