The Secret to the Perfect Bridal Glow: Moisturizing and Exfoliation

Professional bridal hair and makeup artists are used to dealing with all types of skin. Their job is to make the skin look beautiful with makeup and other cosmetic products. But even with a hundred layers of makeup, the most expert of makeup artists finds dry, textured skin a challenge to work on.

As a bride to be, you don’t want to be that woman with the dry skin. Makeup might help hide the dullness and unevenness in your skin short-term but it still won’t give you the glow every bride yearns for on her wedding day.

That is why professionals believe that the key to a perfect glowing skin is not, in fact, a face caked with makeup products; it is the natural glow that comes beneath those layers. Moisturizing and exfoliating the skin can help you achieve that glow on your big day and it will make makeup artists fall in love with your skin as well.

It Pays To Start Early

Moisturizing and exfoliating doesn’t work like magic. It needs time and constancy to get your skin silky smooth and kissable. That’s why you need to plan ahead and start prepping your skin way before the actual date of your wedding. Moisturizing is recommended as an everyday beauty routine while exfoliation should be done two to three times a week depending upon the product you’re using.

Moisturize the Right Way

Lotions aren’t the only products you can use to moisturize your skin. If you are going to use a cream or a lotion, make sure it is fragrant free so it doesn’t elicit a reaction on your skin. Other options for moisturizing products include the much healthier essential oils such as coconut oil, olive oil and almond oil. Alternatively, Aloe Vera gel is a popular skin moisturizing and glowing agent.

Exfoliate the Right Way

It doesn’t hurt to buy a commercial exfoliating product like a facial mask or a face scrub but if you’re a skeptic and have sensitive skin, then DIY exfoliation with sugar and honey can work pretty well too.
