Calling All Spring Brides

Since FENN began, we've been prepping women and men for their wedding day; it is only natural that for such a special occasion, people want to look and feel their best. For many of our clients, there is a general desire to use less makeup and let their glowing skin do the talking on their wedding day. At FENN, we work with clients to establish a clear, structured skincare routine and treatment guide to ensure our brides are completely comfortable and confident in their skincare preparation. Having this structure removes skincare as a stress and instead makes it a joy—a positive aspect of the preparation.

We are confident that with regular treatments that invigorate the skin with gentle actives, LED light therapy, interwoven with microneedling plus a bespoke edit of skincare, we can deliver skin you love and feel confident in on the day.

We recommend locking in your skincare lineup well before the wedding day, hence why we are discussing spring/summer wedding prep in autumn!

It is important to give your skin time to adapt to new ingredients well in advance of an event. At FENN, we tend to introduce new products gradually to monitor how the skin reacts and give time for the body to adjust. For many of our clients, this includes retinols and the use of more active ingredients that can yield incredible results when introduced correctly.

We generally recommend a rotation of the FENN Classic or Foundation treatments with FENN ReForm and LED light therapy sessions. “We’ve become obsessed with the combination of LED light therapy and microneedling,” says Clare. “Together, they offer next-level stimulation of collagen and, over time, help plump, refine, and smooth the texture of your skin."

We recommend starting with a weekly light therapy session, and then, from 8 weeks out, increase it to twice a week, plus a hydration infusion mask after each session. FENN offers LED light therapy packages or the Omnilux Contour Face Mask for easy at-home treatments.

Results are cumulative, so we recommend any bride do a program of light therapy over a 6–8 week period before the big day. It's also just good for the soul! Regular time on the bed at FENN offers precious time to reset and reduce stress.

Reduced stress, combined with a healthy diet (supported by our Spring Bride Skin naturopathic package with in-house naturopath Alice Flannery), goes a long way in ensuring a clear complexion on the big day.

Unfortunately not, says FENN’s resident naturopath, Alice (who is also prepping for her wedding this coming spring). She delivers practical and holistic advice on how to boost your complexion from the inside out.

• Finding movement that you love is important—it’s about feeling confident in your body, accentuating what you love about your body, not torturing yourself (*Note: too much high-intensity exercise can trigger the stress/inflammation response). We love Pilates (visit our friends at House of Sculpt here for in-studio or online programs), strength training, and getting in a minimum of 10k steps per day.
• Increasing water intake and supplementing with herbal tea and bone broth as the weather cools down.
• Focusing on nourishing yourself from the inside out by limiting inflammatory foods (sugar, gluten, dairy, alcohol) and prioritizing protein for skin barrier health.
• Key skin nutrients include antioxidants (brightly colored fruit & veg—eat the rainbow), omega-3s (oily fish, nuts & seeds, extra virgin olive oil—act as an internal moisturizer), zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, legumes, oysters & grass-fed beef), and vitamin C-rich foods (kiwi, berries, red capsicum, papaya).
• Creating awareness around caffeine consumption to support the nervous system (wedding planning places enough burden on the nervous system!). Limit caffeine intake to once a day, or switch it out for matcha, hot cacao, or chai tea, and always consume coffee after food to limit the impact on the nervous system.
• Supplement Edit: Fish oil (anti-inflammatory), gut powder (supports the gut-skin axis), magnesium (supports the nervous system, supports the stress response, & improves sleep), zinc (the ultimate skin nutrient), & Pearl by Par Olive Collagen (improves skin elasticity & plumpness).
• Regular facial treatments and a customised skincare regimen from FENN: Calm and hydrated skin is the key to a healthy and vibrant complexion and will also provide the best base for your makeup on the day.

• An assessment of your diet & lifestyle practices
• A review of your current supplement regimen
• Tailored food, lifestyle, & supplement recommendations for glowing wedding day skin
