Singapore’s air quality might have returned to normal, but what about your skin? Here’s what to add to your bridal skincare routine to glow in time for the big day.

Amongst the many wedding planning mishaps that one could possibly imagine, the haze that affected our sunny skies was certainly not one that most brides-to-be would have anticipated. The fallout of smoke and poor air quality has taken place in various forms, and weddings are no exception. Couples who married at the peak of the murky season had to deal with disruptions to outdoor ceremonies. Wedding and pre-wedding shoots had to be shifted indoors or rescheduled. But while the PSI readings have simmered down for some time now, one repercussion still remains: damaged skin barriers.

Airborne pollutants in the haze, which settle on the skin’s surface, would have triggered oxidative stress, inflammation and disruptions to the skin barrier. Then the haze left, and took the results of meticulous bridal skincare routines and aesthetic treatments along with it, leaving some brides with dryness and sensitivity, acne or eczema flare-ups, congestion and even aggravated rosacea. For those who dreamed of waking up on their wedding day with luminous glass skin and a flawless finish, such conditions are less than ideal. In other words, everyone’s bridal glam is basically cooked.

But like most problems in wedding planning, this one has a solution. Whether days, weeks or months out from the big day, the skin barrier can be saved with the help of quality skincare. Here’s a round-up of skincare products to try if your skin is still suffering from haze, from freshly-launched, science-led dermatological brands to high-end and luxury favourites.

Uriage Xémose C8+ range

Weakened skin barriers are more susceptible to dryness, itching and discomfort, which is exactly why Uriage has launched the Xémose C8+ line, powered by eight biomimetic ceramides to help restore and strengthen the skin barrier. The line comprises an Anti-itch Cleansing Oil, Lipid-Replenishing Anti-itch Cream, SOS Anti-Itch Mist and Soothing Toner, all designed to relieve itching, dryness and flaking even from the first application. If this sounds too good to be true, rest assured that the line’s 48-hour anti-recurrence efficacy has been clinically proven, even on the most fragile skin types.

The Uriage Xémose C8+ range is available at Watsons and Guardian.

NUXE Prodigieuse® [HYALU] BOOST range

For glowy glass skin on the wedding day, try out NUXE Singapore’s new Prodigieuse® [HYALU] BOOST range, which is brimming with beautifying benefits. The key ingredients here are low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, which hydrates from the inside-out, and high molecular weight Polyglutamic Acid, to lock in moisture, reinforce the skin barrier and prevent water loss from the surface. The result? Plumper, smoother, bouncier and more radiant skin. All four products—namely The Illuminating Concentrate, The Anti-Dark Spot Glow Serum, Smoothing Glow Gel-Cream and The Reviving Eye Stick—fit easily into the everyday skincare routine, with the foremost featuring a three-in-one formula functioning as a serum, glow drops and even a highlighter.

The NUXE Prodigieuse® [HYALU] BOOST range will be available exclusively at Guardian.

LA MER The NEW Concentrate

Luxury skincare brand La Mer has stepped in to save wedding days, with the release of a next-generation advancement of The Concentrate. The iconic serum is powered by Concentrated Miracle Broth™ to activate Bio-Regenerative Skin Intelligence™, and formulated with The NEW Clarity Algae to visibly diminish discoloration and prevent new discoloration from forming. It’s particularly potent in supporting the skin’s ability to adapt and recover more efficiently in the face of daily aggressors, extreme environments, and aesthetic procedures, making it the perfect choice for anyone seeking to strengthen their skin’s resilience.

The NEW Concentrate is available at all La Mer Singapore stores, online LazMall Flagship Store and selected Sephora outlets.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Milk™ Peptide Glow Cushion Cream

Cult favourite Glow Recipe does more than just offer new products in their cute, signature packaging. The Peptide Glow Cushion Cream is a fragrance-free moisturiser powered by over 10 peptides to smoothen out fine lines, Watermelon Milk™ to seal in moisture and Glycerin, Panthenol & Ceramides for never-ending hydration. As expected of K-beauty standards, the cream’s cushiony texture melts effortlessly into skin, delivering a pillow-soft, silky finish while locking in moisture. Brides can incorporate the product into both day and nighttime skincare routines for a more resilient and balanced skin barrier.

The Glow Recipe Watermelon Milk™ Peptide Glow Cushion Cream is available online and at Sephora stores nationwide.

Clera Cera

Clera Cera is the new skincare brand on the block, backed by the National Skin Centre, National Healthcare Group (NHG) Singapore. Created specifically for Asian skin, these formulas withstand real local stressors, such as UV rays, and have been clinically proven to soothe skin in no more than three minutes, while providing up to 72 hours of hydration.

Sigi Skin Timeless Meadow Sheet Mask and Dream Capsule Overnight Sleeping Mask

Sigi Skin never fails to deliver. This year alone, the award-winning local brand has launched a new Timeless Meadow Sheet Mask, and upgraded its iconic Dream Capsule Daily Overnight Sleeping Mask. The former is an intensive, twice-weekly anti-ageing cream sheet mask, that surrounds dry, tired or depleted skin in moisture and helps restore a fresh, supple look. NAD+, GABA and botanical extracts are just some of the star components that the masks are saturated with. Just as remarkable is the reformulated Dream Capsule Daily Overnight Sleeping Mask, that brides can count on for an overnight fix. Snooze while 1% bakuchiol, EGF, Matrixyl® 3000 peptides and more ingredients culminate in a comforting concoction bound to repair tired, ageing skin.
