In this episode of The Expansion Code: Bridal Edition, Heather chats with Julie Wuis from The Face Institute (aka the Queen of Face) about how brides can best prepare their skin for their wedding day. Julie shares advice on timelines for skincare and treatments (from one month to a year out!), product recommendations, and the role of injectables like Botox and filler. She also gives valuable tips for makeup artists on how to gently guide clients toward beneficial services and properly prep their skin for flawless makeup application.We talk about:Skin prep is a crucial investment for brides: It leads to confidence, radiance, and better makeup application, resulting in beautiful photos that last a lifetime.Timelines matter: Start early (6-12 months) for optimal results, allowing for a wider range of treatments. Even a short timeline (1 month) can benefit from a focused skincare routine.Hydration is key: Properly hydrated skin allows makeup to infuse, creating a natural, glowing look.Don't overdo it: Avoid stripping the skin with too many actives or harsh peels close to the wedding. Focus on repairing and hydrating the skin barrier.Consult professionals: Seek guidance from skincare experts and injectors to create a personalized plan that addresses specific concerns and goals.Products:Osmosis Skincare Line: Highlighted as a healing and effective line, especially for brides. The sensitive kit is specifically mentioned for repairing skin barriers.Plated Serum: A serum made by the Mayo Clinic containing a trillion stem cells, used by Julie leading up to her wedding as a simple and effective treatment.PTOX: A neuropeptide serum that acts like "Botox in a bottle," reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.CO2 (Carboxy) Mask: Mentioned as an emergency treatment for burns, bruises, and other skin issues, promoting rapid healingConnect with Julie Wuis:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofface/, https://www.instagram.com/thefaceinstituteca/How to Connect with Heather:Follow Heather on Instagram: @iamheatherdickFollow The Expansion Code Podcast: @theexpansioncodeWebsite & Resources: www.theexpansioncode.caCheck out Heather’s consulting packages, free resources, and strategy sessions on her website.Podcast Sponsor: Blush ArtistryThis episode is proudly sponsored by Blush Artist, your one-stop beauty haven for hair, makeup, nails, massage, medispa, and now private fitness and wellness services.
