Let’s be real—sometimes you need your skin to show up. Whether it’s a wedding, first date, job interview, or that night out where you want to feel like your most radiant self, here’s how to get that lit-from-within glow—without piling on a bunch of products you’ll never use again.
This routine is grounded in what actually works—not marketing myths or 17-step rituals that require a spreadsheet. Just a few thoughtfully formulated products that prep your skin for its close-up.
So if you're wondering "how do I prepare my skin for my wedding day?"
Here’s how to do it, step-by-step:
Night Before: Start with the Foundation
Step 1: Deep Clean Without Stripping – Grit Exfoliating Cleanser
Your glow starts with a clean slate. Grit combines volcanic sulfur and salicylic acid to gently remove buildup, polish the surface, and prep your skin for what comes next. This isn’t your average cleanser—it’s effective and calming, with anti-inflammatory benefits baked right in. No tight, squeaky aftermath. Just smooth, refreshed skin.
🕐 Use in the evening, massaging into damp skin for 30–60 seconds. Rinse well.
Step 2: Hydration That Hits Deeper – Quench Snow Mushroom Serum
Quench delivers a surge of hydration with snow mushroom, niacinamide, and mandelic acid—all at just the right percentages to plump, brighten, and balance. Think of this as your first layer of dew.
🕐 On damp skin, Apply 2–3 pumps to damp skin right after cleansing.
Step 3: Lock It In – Shield Skin Nutrition Oil
Shield wraps everything in, nourishing your barrier with essential fatty acids, ceramides, and antioxidants. It gives skin that supple, calm glow without heaviness or greasiness. And yes, you can wear oil under makeup when it’s formulated this well.
🕐 Massage in 5–10 drops over Quench. Let it sink in before your next step.
Step 4: Final Glow Booster – Quench Radiance Mask
This is the game-changer: Quench Radiance Mask and sleep with it on. With Argireline (hexapeptide-8), low molecular collagen and hyaluronic acid, and the “Botox plant” (Spilanthes Acmella), this mask calms fascia tension, boosts hydration, and gives your skin that rested, revived look—even if you only get five hours of sleep.
🕐 Apply at least 1 hour before bed so it has time to adhere to skin and sleep with it on.
Morning Of: Reveal and Glow
Step 5: Gently Rinse + Proceed to SPF + Primer + Makeup
Wake up and peel off the mask. What you’ll see? Smoother, bouncier, more luminous skin. Your face, but make it moonbeam-level luminous.
If you tend to be oily, take a single ply from a tissue and gently blot oil or excess product from your skin. From here, your base products (SPF, primer, foundation) will glide on more easily, and you won’t feel like you need to cake on highlighter to fake a glow. You’ll be the glow.
Real Talk: Why This Works
This is not a “miracle” routine. It’s about intentional product layering, barrier support, and giving your skin the tools it needs to do what it does best—restore itself overnight.
And because everything here is plant-based, cruelty-free, and esthetician-formulated, you’re not gambling with your skin hours before a big event.

Reminder: Always do what works for your skin. If your skin’s been feeling off or reactive, try this routine a few days ahead instead of the night before. And if you’re breaking out or experiencing irritation, keep things minimal—skip exfoliation and stick to hydration and barrier repair.
Because the best glow? Is the one that feels good in your own skin.
