Our Guide to Ethical Bridal Beauty

Skincare - The Face Planner

When it comes to skincare for your big day, it is best to start a routine a few months before. Firstly, so you can let the ingredients in the products work their magic, giving you radiant and clear skin for the big day. Secondly, you never know how your skin will react to skincare, it is therefore essential that you trial products out long before your wedding.

The Face Planner is the perfect brand for bridal skincare – they even have sets curated just for brides, allowing you to eliminate all the guesswork. It can be hard to find skincare that can work for many different skin types, but The Face Planner was developed alongside a dermatologist and formulated to be gentle enough for all skin types. All of their products are tested on sensitive skin, are cruelty-free and are full of amazing and sustainability sourced ingredients, many of which are from the brand home in Tuscany @thefrantoio.

The Ultimate Plan contains 6 products – The Cleanser, The Balancer, The Super Hydrator, The Protector, The Revitaliser, and The Brighenter. Together these products work to even out one’s skin tone, reduce fine lines, reduce inflammation, calm redness, and leave the skin looking radiant and pores visibly smaller. Our Head of Brand Partnerships (and our resident beauty expert) tried this set out for just a few weeks on her acne prone and incredibly sensitive skin and she can’t believe the results.

They have a series of amazing sets and individual products available. Click here to explore the full selection!

Makeup - RMS Beauty

RMS is one of our favourite makeup brands because it is full skincare ingredients that work wonders on the skin, while you wear their beautiful makeup. They have everything from foundations to blushes to eye products. Everything they do is very multipurpose so you don’t even need 10 products to create an amazing look.

We’d suggest their Natural Finish Liquid Foundation and the UnCoverup Concealer, which together create the perfect flawless base that still allows the skin to breathe. Their Flirtation of Color Lip Pallet is the perfect lip and cheek kit that has all the shades you’d want. RMS’s Straight Up Volumizing Peptide Mascara is one of the best mascaras on the market. It is totally flake free so you don’t need to worry about any mascara falling down on your special day. 

Bodycare – Bjork and Berries

For hydration and a bit of shimmer, look no further than Bjork and Berries who create completely natural products. Their Body Serum is a concentrated oil serum enriched with a blend of borage seed oil, sunflower seed oil, organic birch leaf extract and jojoba seed oil, to deeply moisturize and help revitalize the skin. It is rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 as well as the natural antioxidant vitamin E, it nourishes and protects the skin from dehydration. It is easily absorbed and gives instant moisture, keeping the skin glowing throughout the day. For a true glow, add in their beautiful Shimmer Oil, which is a fast drying and fast absorbing shimmer oil enriched with vitamin E and natural minerals.
