Here are some top skincare product recommendations from the Scottish Wedding Hair and Makeup Directory on wedding skin prep for Brides.
Ailsa Doc Makeup & Skincare shares her top recommendations for skincare, and some are suitable for those with sensitive and dry skin, including eczema and psoriasis:
- Cleansing Choices:
- For highly sensitive and dry skin, the Neal’s Yard Sensitive Soothing Cleanser is a must-have. One of Ailsa’s brides started using it after her trial session and saw a significant improvement in her eczema breakout, particularly around the chin and neck area, before her wedding day.
- Moisturising Must-Haves:
- The Neal’s Yard Wild Rose Glow Day Cream is an excellent choice for dry or mature skin. It delivers similar results to high-end creams but is far more nourishing. This cream is ideal for brides seeking a radiant, glowing makeup look.
- For those with oily skin or planning a destination wedding in hot weather, the Glow Hub Nourish & Hydrate Gel Moisturiser is recommended. It leaves a slightly sticky finish, which helps makeup stay in place and maintains its glowy and dewy appearance. The product can be found online at BPerfect and Look Fantastic.
- Cleansing Routine:
- For dry skin, the Cliniccare Cleansing Lotion is recommended, along with a Face and Eye Makeup Remover suitable for all skin types. These products are available exclusively in some salons and not online.
- Pre-Makeup Eye Care:
- As part of the bridal party prep, Eldora Under Eye Gel Patches are applied after cleansing. These patches are designed to calm and cool the skin, making them perfect for reducing puffiness from early morning starts, especially for Brides and bridesmaids prepping at the crack of dawn.

- Serum: Choose the Intensive Skin Supplement or Vitamin Enriched Face Baseto deliver hydration, nourishment, and address particular issues like dullness or fine lines.
- Moisturise: Seal in moisture with the Hydrating Face Cream or Extra Repair Moisture Cream, creating a smooth, hydrated base.
