Bridal Skin Goals: How Nurse Abbey Glowed on Her Wedding Day

When it comes to glowing skin on your wedding day, it pays to plan ahead. Just ask our very own Nurse Abbey Hamilton, who recently tied the knot looking positively radiant. As a cosmetic nurse with years of experience in skin rejuvenation, Abbey knows the power of consistency, good skincare, and targeted treatments.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Abbey’s personal bridal skin prep routine — a blend of clinical treatments and at-home skincare that left her glowing from aisle to dance floor.

Abbey’s Morning Routine: Calm, Brighten, and Protect

Abbey focused on calming inflammation, protecting her skin barrier, and boosting radiance. Her AM routine included:

  • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) – to soothe redness and strengthen her skin barrier

  • Vitamin C – for brightening and targeting pigmentation

  • Zinc-based SPF – specifically Airyday Pretty in Zinc, a physical sunscreen ideal for daily protection

A light layer of makeup was all she needed over her well-prepped skin for work.

Night Routine: Repair, Renew, and Refine

Evenings were all about supporting her skin’s renewal cycle and maintaining hydration. Abbey alternated her actives for maximum effect without irritation:

  • Tretinoin (1–2x/week) – for gentle exfoliation and cellular turnover

  • La Roche-Posay Cicaplast – added to her tretinoin to buffer sensitivity and boost moisture

  • Rationale Retinol #6 – used on alternate nights for deep rejuvenation

  • Double Cleanse – Rationale #4 (a milk-based cleanser) followed by Rationale #5 (AHA/BHA-based) for a thorough cleanse

  • Extra moisture with Cicaplast or Niacinamide when needed

In-Clinic Treatments: Professional Skin Rejuvenation in Sydney

As a bride-to-be, Abbey strategically planned her treatments to get the most from her skin while keeping things natural and refreshed:

  • Rejuran Treatments in Sydney – 3x full-face Rejuran Classic sessions for skin rejuvenation and under-eye smoothing, beginning six months before the big day

  • Neck Rejuvenation – 2x Rejuran sessions to treat neck lines

  • Anti-Wrinkle Injections – quarterly appointments with a focus on subtle enhancements like a soft brow lift

  • Laser Facials (6–8 weekly) – targeting pigmentation, stimulating collagen, and refining pores

  • 830nm Healite Therapy (2–3x/week) – a non-negotiable in her routine to boost healing, reduce inflammation, and keep her skin glowing all year long
