Taking Care of Your Skin Before Your Big Day

The stress of your wedding can take a toll on your skin and take the shape of pimples and acne. But when you’re a bride and under deep scrutiny by everyone around you, you need to make sure that doesn’t happen. Wedding skincare is essential for every bride. While a good dose of makeup can hide the marks, it still can’t give you the natural, clean and fresh look you’re searching for.

Taking care of your skin prior to your big day can require patience, consistency and hard work but when you walk that aisle looking beautiful with a clear skin, the hard work and patience will be worth it. Here’s how you can prep your skin for the perfect look on your wedding day:

#1: Book Facial Appointments at Your Favorite Salon

Even if you’ve never had professional facials done before, it’s high time you do if your wedding is a few months away. Facials include a deep skin massage to stimulate circulation that can leave your face glowing. Professional salons will always have the best products to apply on your face for the best facial experience. A few facial sessions and your face will look clean and smooth in no time!

#2: Exfoliate and Tone

Use exfoliators, face scrubs and toners to remove the inbred dirt and dust from your skin. You want to make sure your pores are clean and have no black or whiteheads stuck in them and the only way to do that is through vigorous, consistent exfoliation. Use an oil-free moisturizer at the end of your routine to give your skin some relaxing, breathing space.

#3: Choose the Right Foods

It’s important to monitor what you’re eating before your wedding and not just because you don’t want to gain extra calories but because the right foods can help make your skin glow. Cut back on processed food and carbs. Instead, go for super foods like green, leafy vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers.

#4: Stay Hydrated

Drinking adequate amounts of water daily can really show on your face. Staying hydrated is important for all skin types whether you have oil or dry skin. Eating foods with high water content like watermelons is also a good option if you can’t drink eight glasses of water everyday.
