The pre-wedding facial workout Ellie Goulding has been doing ahead of her big day

Ellie Goulding is in full wedding prep mode as she is expected to marry her New York-based art dealer fiancé Caspar Jopling this Saturday in Yorkshire.

And one of her self-care secret weapons appears to be the cult facial 'workouts' at FaceGym, which calls itself 'a gym for the face.'

The singer shared a selfie on her Instagram Stories over the bank holiday after having one of the signature facials.

'Trainers' rather than therapists perform the FaceGym treatments and you even store your personal effects in a locker while you get pampered.

The so-called 'workouts' it has become famous for are designed to stimulate the more than 40 muscles in your face using electric devices that emit mild, yet forceful electrical waves into your skin. The trainer then performs some vigorous pummelling, knuckling and "whipping strokes" on your face to contour and sculpt cheekbones, boost elasticity, and blood circulation.

Goulding had the 'Party Face' workout (£130 for 55 mins), a treatment specifically designed to get customers ready for special occasions, you can read our full review of the treatment here.

It combines the sculpting of a signature electrical workout with an IV Vitamin Shot for the skin, which despite the name doesn't involve any needles. Rather, it involves a 'deep clean' cocktail of vitamins, peptides and acids being blasted onto the skin, followed by two vitamin shots which are tailored to your skin's needs.

Pick from the Clear Skin, Pro-Age and Deep Clean cocktails et voilà you have a 'Goulding glow.'

Goulding has so far had six of the treatments, and the studio says it typically recommends a course of around one workout a week in the month leading up to a big event like a wedding day.
