A Well-planned timeline for your pre-bridal skincare Journey

Beauticians and stylists advise the brides to start their pre-bridal skincare routine well in advance. This would ensure that on your big day, your skin looks glowing and flawless. You can easily overcome any concerns when you have a well-planned timeline.

1. Three to Six Months Before the Wedding

To achieve that perfect bridal glow, begin your skincare routine three-to-six months ahead of the wedding. This timeline will give you sufficient time to address issues like acne or uneven skin tone. When you take remedial action early, it can result in visible outcomes. And you will be radiant before the big day.

·       The preparation for radiant skin starts by consulting a dermatologist if you have acne, pigmentation, or dryness. When you can get the right treatments there is no need to worry about last-minute breakouts.

·       Some girls do not take care of their skin or pay less attention. If you are in this group, then strictly get out of the group and aim a glowing skin by establishing a proper skincare routine. The tasks you should do daily as a skincare routine are very few. These include daily cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Add serums, masks, and treatments based on your skin type.

·       A well-hydrated body will give hydrated skin and water is one of the best hydrating sources. You should drink at least two litters of water per day to flush out toxins and keep your skin glowing. If your body gets enough water, your skin will be hydrated, and using a hydrating serum will plump your skin up and make it glow.

·       To get that glow on your skin, you must get regular facials. During the beginning of your skincare routine, opt for monthly facials for cleaning, hydrating, and brightening your skin. If you want to do facials at home, choose mild products that would suit your skin.

· A healthy diet enhances healthy skin. You have to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins, proteins, and necessary carbohydrates. Your health and skin will become better if you can stay away from excess sugar, dairy, and processed food from your diet. You should include skin-friendly foods in your diet that help you out. Some of them are avocados, nuts, and berries. Food rich in Omega-3 such as salmon and flaxseeds help keep your skin soft and elastic.

·       You must exercise every day without excuses. Exercise will help to maintain a healthy body and increase blood circulation. It is good for flushing out toxins, and keeping your skin looking fresh. Apart from this, it will help manage the stress of the wedding.

2. One Month Before the Wedding

A month before your wedding is the time when final preparations start seriously. So, you will be busy with those last-minute details and finishing touches. This can lead to increased stress and a lack of time for skincare.  So, during this time focus on hydration and relaxation. Because it gives your skin a radiant glow.

• You should scrub your body, at least once or twice a week. It will help to remove dead skin cells and give glowing skin. Avoid over-exfoliation to prevent irritation.
• You should always apply sunscreen, even if you don’t go outside. Remember to apply SPF 30 or higher daily. Sun protection prevents pigmentation and premature aging.
• It is a good practice to pamper your hands and feet. Get your hands and feet manicured and pedicured at least two or three days in advance.
• You should manage stress with self-care. Yoga and meditation can help you stay calm and keep your skin stress-free.

3.  A week before the wedding

• You can start the last-minute skincare touch-ups. Stick to gentle skincare. You have to avoid harsh treatments or peels that might cause redness or irritation.

Mistakes to Avoid in Your Bridal Skincare Routine

Your bridal skincare routine should leave you glowing, and not stressed. If you avoid common skincare mistakes you can achieve the perfect complexion.

1. Never experiment with new products. Some brides try on new products to make their wedding day glow even more. However, experimenting with a new face mask or serum just a few days before your wedding is risky.
2. Never over-exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation is important for the glowing skin. But some girls do it too often. This can strip your skin of natural oils and cause redness and irritation. So, you should do gentle exfoliant once or twice a week.
3. Never skip your sleep. Wedding planning is stressful. But that stress should not affect your sleep! Lack of rest leads to dark circles, dull skin, and breakouts. You should try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
