Plan backwards:
Your wedding prep does not start a month from the wedding, in fact it starts from Day 0 – the day you have finalized the wedding date. From setting a basic routine to get into the groove to planning out a final look – your skin goes through a detailed, pampered journey. Now is when you finalize on the products you want to stick to, the no. of steps in the routine, plan out the transition from a basic routine to deeper, intense cleanse – so that you get to witness the impact of all the efforts on the main day. Always remember when it comes to skincare, the results are seen at a later stage so do not give up because the cumulative effect of a consistent routine is worth the wait.
Barrier against environment stressors:
For all the effort taken to renew and rejuvenate your skin, it is imperative that you protect it against daily environmental stressors – dust, pollution, UV-exposure as it could affect the quality of your skin.
-
- Sunscreen is a non-negotiable. It is no longer a choice.
- If you commute to work, it is best to protect your hair and face with a scarf. Wash your face when you reach your workplace if required to take off the grime and dirt.
- Ensure you double cleanse your face once you return so that you are off to bed with a clean face.
Skincare buddy:
Some days it is hard to remain consistent, on other days you are wondering what products would suit you. Skincare can be so much fun especially if you have a buddy who can help through the prep. You can bounce off ideas, help finalise products, hold each other accountable and remind each other of the end goal – Fresh, radiant skin!
Workout and Diet:
There is the outer glow and then there is the more important inner glow – Working out a good sweat is the undoubtedly one of the best ways to improve the quality of your skin – it helps stimulate circulation, improves the elasticity of your skin and reduces the appearances of your pores. Your workout needs to be accompanied by adequate hydration and a nutritious, colourful diet that can further add to the healthy glow. Do not underestimate the power of regular workouts and wholesome food!
Your skin is known to repair itself night; that is why it is best to set up a night time routine to leverage this rejuvenation period. Choosing a product for your night-time routine can be tricky as you want to wake up to fresh skin and not to clogged and oily texture. Your night time routine does not have to be complicated, it just must exist to give your skin a chance to repair itself. It is about advance prepping your skin for the big day.
Beauty Treatments:
As we move closer to the main day, you might want to intensify your skincare prep. Ensure you are doing enough to elevate the glow but not going overboard especially when it comes to beauty treatments. it is important that you choose a simple but effective treatment than a complicated one.
Above all, focus on natural radiance over a flawless appearance. It is all about showcasing the healthiest version of your skin. Great skin is defined by your happiness, your feeling loved and being in company of your dearest ones. Bride or not – Healthy, happy skin is easily the prettiest kind of skin! Wear your skin like an accessory this wedding season.
