Skincare Wardrobe: Hanna MW
The Bridal Edit
In the lead-up to her wedding day, Hanna MW had one clear focus: skin that felt calm, balanced, and radiant.
With a simple and consistent routine rooted in Rudolph Care, her approach wasn’t about changing her appearance, but about refining it ever so slightly.
Here, she shares her thoughts on ‘bridal glow’, her rituals leading up to the day, and the products she couldn’t do without.
How did you want your skin to feel on your wedding day?
“Glowy and soft, like velvet. I wanted my skin to feel calm, balanced and completely unstressed. When there was a lot going on around you, which there naturally is before a wedding, the last thing I wanted was skin that felt overloaded with products. I really believe in using skincare that supports the skin rather than covering it, and that is why my Rudolph Care routine has been such a staple for me over the years.”
What does “bridal glow” mean to you, and how did you pursue it in your own way?
“To me, bridal glow is about still looking like yourself, just in a slightly more refined version. It is also something that comes from within. Even though there is so much happening before a wedding, I focused on finding a sense of calm and presence rather than putting pressure on myself to change anything about my appearance or achieve something specific. That inner balance naturally translates into how you look on the outside.”
How did you prepare your skin in the weeks leading up to the wedding and how did you approach it on the day itself?
“I didn’t do anything drastically different, but I did add a few extra steps to my routine and had three facials focused on hydration and glow.”
“In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I kept things very simple and consistent. I followed a four-step routine every day, mainly built around the Açai All in One Serum, Açai All in One Eye Cream, and Açai All in One Moisturizer. That period could be quite intense with planning and coordination, so I focused on products that calm and support the skin rather than anything too active or complicated, and products that my skin was used to.”
“On the wedding day itself, I simplified my routine even more. I didn’t want to overload the skin before makeup. A clean base, hydration, and a little Açai Facial Oil was enough to give the skin a healthy, smooth finish. I have always believed that less is more, and Rudolph Care really reflects that philosophy. When the ingredients and formulations are good, the routine doesn’t need to be complicated or extensive.”
Which self care practices helped you feel your best and stay grounded in the months before the ceremony?
“Here as well, I focused on finding calm and staying present, and not letting the wedding take over completely. I also have a very hectic job that couldn’t just pause because of the wedding, so I became much better at asking for help, both from friends and from my team. I am usually someone who handles things quite spontaneously, but this time I made an effort to plan my time more carefully, which created a real sense of calm.”
Looking back at your wedding rituals, which elements of your pre-wedding skincare ritual would you recommend to others?
“I really loved the entire Açai line for that smooth, even, natural glow, especially the Açai All in One Serum and the Açai All in One Moisturizer. One thing I prioritized before the wedding was starting each morning with the Açai Facial Oil and a gua sha massage.”
“If I could give one piece of advice to future brides, it would be this: start early with a simple routine that feels good for your skin (if you don’t already have one) and stay consistent. Avoid making drastic changes or going into it with the mindset of transforming yourself or achieving something far from how you naturally look. The best results come from feeling like yourself, just at your best.”
“Also, one last recommendation of a favorite product that I haven’t mentioned yet is to always keep the Rudolph Care Mist Delight in your bag to spray on your face during the day if your skin feels dry or stressed.”
