It’s usually around the holidays that families come together to celebrate. It is also a time where there are many engagements and proposals taking place with weddings being planned for the upcoming year. There has been much discussion in periodicals and social media about how brides and mothers can develop a “game plan” to look their best for the big day. But what about the Father of the Bride? They may want to improve their appearance before the event. What steps can men and women take to prepare for any momentous occasion? 

Skin Consultations

Do you have questions about specific aesthetic treatments and procedures? Whether you wish to know more about cosmetic treatments, specific skin concerns, preventing signs of aging, or simply enhancing your overall skin health, our skin experts will provide information on how each option works, what to expect, and which are best suited to your unique skin type and goals.

Wearing SPF And Skin Checks

As a parent, it is vital to take care of yourself! Something you can start doing now is a monthly self-examination of your skin. If you see anything suspicious going on with your skin, a skin check with one of our board-certified providers will be a preventative and proactive step toward your skin health. Another habit that will help your skin health is wearing sunscreen daily, rain or shine. California Skin Institute offers a wide range of SPF products to protect against the damage of UVA/UVB rays that cause photo-aging and skin cancer. 

Chemical Peels For Skin Damage

Anyone who has had skin damage from skin cancer removal, stitches, surgical scars or burns might consider a chemical peel to help restore the appearance and texture of their skin, especially with an upcoming wedding. Chemical peels can smooth uneven skin tone and reduce the appearance of scars, sun damage, or other pigmentation issues. This can give a father of the bride’s skin a more uniform, healthy look for a special day. Don’t forget to protect your results with sunscreen!

Facials With Licensed Aestheticians For Rejuvenation 

What better way to get healthy, glowing skin than to get a facial from one of our Aestheticians! Weddings are not only emotional but also highly photographed events, and as the father of the bride, he’s often in the spotlight, too. Facials can help reduce signs of aging, alleviate stress, and rejuvenate skin. Our experienced aestheticians can personalize a deep cleansing facial to nourish and rejuvenate your skin. With options like microdermabrasion for a fresh, polished look, facial massage to relieve tension, and lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness, we will help him look and feel more vibrant and confident as he prepares for the big day.

Basic Skincare Routine 

Are your eyes looking puffy? Does your skin look dull? Did you know that certain products address and help treat your skin concerns? At California Skin Institute, we provide pharmaceutical-grade skin care to keep the skin of all ages looking its best. 

Generally speaking, a good routine consists of the following: 

• Cleanser: A foaming cleanser such as Gentle Soothing Cleanser can wash away dirt, oil and impurities without stripping the skin’s barrier function. 
• Serum: Phyto Repair Serum is helpful to use after shaving to alleviate redness and irritation as well as provide antioxidant protection to prevent free radical damage. 
• Eye Cream: Enriched Retinol Eye Repair has ingredients to treat dark circles and crow’s feet. Since the skin is thinnest here than anywhere else on the body, using an eye cream on that delicate area is a good idea to prevent further damage. 
• Moisturizer: Sport SPF 45 is our top-selling moisturizing mineral sunscreen chalk full of antioxidants and soothing aloe will hydrate and provide UV protection. 

If you want to get serious about a specific procedure, skincare routine or other anti-aging options, California Skin Institute is there for the father of the bride, as well as the rest of the bridal party! Make an appointment today to discuss your options.
