They say you should start planning for your wedding at least a year in advance. You’ve already got the venue locked down and are working on the invite list, but have you started your bridal beauty regimen? Be it glowing skin or luscious locks, no matter what your goal, you’ll want to get an early start on your pre-wedding self-care routine. If you’re like most people, it can be difficult to know where to start, everyone’s hair and skin are so different that a quick tutorial or product post doesn’t quite cut it. Thankfully, there’s a revolutionary beauty brand on the market that’s combining nature and science to bring you a completely customized beauty routine for a fraction of the cost of pricey spa treatments and visits to your dermatologist. Meet Function of Beauty–they’re the leader in custom beauty, creating freshly-filled, custom hair, body, and skincare using a proprietary algorithm and high-quality, effective ingredients.
Before they make any recommendations, Function of Beauty likes to get to know you…or at least get to know your hair. You start by taking their hair quiz to build your hair profile. Not gonna lie, the quiz itself is pretty fun. Select your natural hair type. They cover everything from straight hair to coily and even break your hair down by curl pattern! Then select your hair structure and scalp moisture level. And that part just covers how your hair is now, but then Function of Beauty lets you set five hair goals. This is where you want to think about your wedding look. Are you planning on coloring for your big day? Then go with color protection. Trying to grow your hair out for that extra updo? Then you’re going to want to strengthen and replenish. You can even customize the ingredients in your hair care products. All of Function of Beauty’s formulas are formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or gluten. They do use top-of-the-line silicones that help smooth hair and protect from heat, but if you’d rather ditch the silicones for a more natural approach, that is always an option. Once your formula is being carefully crafted, it’s time to pick the fragrance. You can’t go wrong with any of their nature-inspired scents, but we especially like “go (c)oco”. If you’re sensitive to fragrances, they also have a fragrance-free option. Last but not least, you even get to choose the color of your haircare products and customize the bottle with your name, so like you, your shampoo and conditioner are one-of-a-kind.
We’ve touched on the (not so) basic shampoo and conditioner formulas that Function of Beauty has to offer, but you’ll need a few more tools in your beauty arsenal to get your hair wedding-ready.
Function of Beauty also has a line of body and skin care and a similar quiz that helps you customize your routine so that you can glow big on your wedding day. First, you select your skin type, how much makeup you usually wear, and your skin’s level of sensitivity. Then you pick three skin goals so you can achieve peak dewy perfection on your big day. Then, just like the haircare products, you can customize the fragrance and put your name on the bottles.
As soon as you get engaged, you should start prepping your skin ASAP with a daily routine.While your beautiful face is certainly the focus on your big day, don’t forget about the remaining 95% of your body–you’ll want your arms and legs to be looking just as polished.
And Function of Beauty knows that life changes and so do you, so you need a hair and skin care routine that can adapt and change with you. Whether it’s a major life change like pregnancy or a shift in the seasons, they’ve got just the formula for you!
Function of Beauty doesn’t just make you look good, it’ll make you feel good too! They’re members of PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies program, which means they don’t use any animal ingredients or by-products in their formulas and they NEVER test on animals. Their ethical promise also extends to Mother Earth. All of their containers are made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable themselves…including the packaging!
