Pre-wedding Skincare

Simple tips to help you get your skin in top shape for the big day

If ever there’s a time in your life when it’s worth investing time and effort into your skincare routine, your wedding day is surely it. Radiant, glowing skin can be yours with your commitment to a daily routine. With all eyes focused on you, and photographs that will live on forever, you’ll want to do everything possible to have a luminous glow…

There are five key areas, in addition to skincare, that will assist your skin in the lead-up to the big day.

A balanced diet

Fresh fruit and vegetables, and protein such as fish helps your body stay healthy and strong, fight fatigue and resist infection.

Water

For optimum health, your skin needs to be replenished from the inside to combat the effects of dehydration from air conditioning, alcohol or exercise. By drinking eight glasses of water a day, you can flush your system of toxins and leave your skin plump and youthful.

A healthy lifestyle

Too much alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes ravage the skin from the inside – we suggest leaving them out of your pre-wedding regime, or at least limiting it to celebrations like your Hen’s Day!

Sleep

Your body needs time to replenish its skin cells, leaving the skin around your eyes free from bags and dark circles, so early to bed!

Sun protection

Your skin requires the Vitamin D found in sunlight for optimum health, but damage from ultra violet rays will age your skin.  Cover up your face with a hat, and use the protection of an SPF 15. 

A dedicated skin care regime, in conjunction with all the other factors, will help you to maximise your bridal beauty. For such a special occasion as your wedding day, it’s worth investing in good skincare products – a cream for your eyes, a mask to hydrate the skin, or a special lip balm to make sure that you have kissably smooth lips for your  husband!
