Beautiful bridal make-up starts with good skin – no foundation will look perfect without a smooth, exfoliated base. The earlier you start your pre wedding skincare regime the better. I would invest in some good skincare products and book monthly microdermabrasion’s if you’re wanting that amazing bridal glow.
Stress! You can’t plan a wedding without it. Unfortunately it can cause breakouts as your wedding day draws near. Find ways to have time away from planning your wedding. You could try a massage, or yoga. A good B vitamin helps with this too.
If you suffer with blackheads or hormonal spots on your chin, try using a salicylic acid product as part of your skincare regime. This will help to gently exfoliate the skin and clear out pores. Salicylic acid also has an anti-inflammatory effect so it’s great for blemishes that have become inflamed.
Make sure you wear SPF50 every day! Sun damage not only causes long-term damage but can also dry out the skin and cause unwanted pigmentation.
If you’re on a low fat diet this can effect the moisture in your skin. You may need to look at using a more nourishing moisturizer.
Start drinking green tea, preferably every day. Not only can this help with weight loss – alongside a good diet and exercise regime, of course – but many people swear by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to help brighten the skin and reduce acne.
Don’t try any new products up to three weeks before your wedding – this includes skincare and make-up. You don’t want to deal with any unwanted and unexpected reactions right before your wedding.
Don’t leave it until the last minute to think about your skin!
