EVERESSE was featured in the New York Post as a part of NYC brides' wedding prep routines. Below is an excerpt from I'm spending $62K on my bridal glow-up -- just don't tell my hubby-to-be, written by Allison Lax. 

Many of today’s almost-wives, especially New York and New Jersey ones, are upping the aesthetic ante, spending 8 to 15% of their $49,000, $57,000 and sometimes $100,000 wedding budgets on beauty services, according to PJ’s College of Cosmetology and the Knot.

And social media might be to blame.

The #bridalglowup on TikTok has thousands of videos, titled things like “10 things I do everyday so I look snatched for my wedding” and “5 wedding prep must-dos to glow up,” that show engaged women taking extreme measures a year out from their wedding to look “their hottest” when standing at the altar.

For Sammi Scotti, the 29-year-old logistics director, her priority in preparation for her August 2026 nuptials has been correcting her acne-prone skin — having spent close to $10,000 so far in customized facial treatment packages at her local med spa. Her efforts included an Acne Boot Camp, Everesse treatments and Beauty Bomb facials at Long Island’s Beauty Bomb Aesthetics.

“I was like, ‘All right — I have a year to get my skin in the best shape it’s ever been in,’ ” Scotti told The Post.
