Let’s face it, none of us have perfect hair or skin. Our guide will give you tips on what you can do in the months ahead of the big day to get you looking and feeling your best. Following a few simple steps in your daily life will help you achieve healthy, glowing skin and soft, shiny hair.
Tips for Great-Looking Skin
Caring properly for your skin is a good starting point for great-looking skin. Adopting a good skincare routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing with products formulated for your skin type will help keep skin clear and fresh. Wash morning and night, and ALWAYS remove makeup before going to bed.
Be sure to use a good quality lip balm or lip moisturizer regularly. Lip color bleeds and fades on dry, chapped, or cracked lips. Gently exfoliating lips with a soft-bristled toothbrush will remove flakiness and reveal softer, smoother lips.
Facials are a good way to bring out younger-looking, healthier skin. If you already have a facial routine, stick with it. If facials are new to you, begin several months prior to your wedding day with a facial every 4-6 weeks. The last facial should be done at least a week prior to the wedding day to avoid any flare-ups or redness.
Don’t forget the skin on your body, especially if you plan to wear a strapless or sleeveless gown. Gently exfoliating 2-3 times a week with a body scrub or loofah will remove dry, dead skin and give your skin a radiant glow.
Moisturizing your body daily will keep skin soft and supple. Once a week, take a warm bath and moisturize while your skin is still damp. This allows the moisturizer to absorb more readily, and a soak in the tub will help relax tense muscles and relieve stress.
Stay out of the sun or tanning salons in the weeks leading up to your wedding and absolutely no tanning creams.
Drink plenty of water. Staying well-hydrated not only flushes your skin of toxins but also keeps skin nourished from the inside out.
Have your eyebrows waxed and shaped by a professional several months in advance, making adjustments to get the look and shape you desire. The final waxing should be done several days prior to the wedding to allow any redness or bumps to subside. Strays can be tweezed the day before the wedding.
Following these skincare tips will help you achieve a radiant, healthy glow for your big day.
