Every bride is the star of her wedding and the efforts that have put behind in making it big can be judged through the hard work of months that have spent on deciding the wedding date, the invites, and the decorations.

In the midst of all the planning and organizing, the bride forgets the most important thing to take care of – herself.

Pre Wedding Beauty Tips For Brides-to-be

CTM (Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing)

Cleansing, toning, and moisturizing should be done without fail as this will keep your skin glowing and youthful throughout the days before the event and after the event takes place. A clean and dirt-free face will help keep your pores open which helps your skin to breathe better. Follow up with toning that will help tighten the pores and also reduces fine lines to some extent. Lastly, moisturizing the face helps lock in the moisture into the pores, keeping your skin soft and supple. Also, make sure that you apply sunscreen diligently.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is one of the best ways of getting skin that is free from dead cells and blackheads. Make sure that you exfoliate your skin before using a face wash twice or thrice in a week. Use a mild face wash to avoid getting rashes. You can also use a homemade scrub made of rice flour or whole wheat flour, or a mixture of both to exfoliate the skin.

Clinical Sittings and Homemade Treatments

If you have too many marks or spots on the skin, then clinical sittings will be your gateway to getting a fairer and spot-free skin quickly. Opt for professional treatments for patchy skin, sunburns, and pigmentation. Microdermabrasion treatments from professional aestheticians is also a good fix for scars and blemishes. Start your treatments at least six months before the wedding for fine lines, wrinkles, or even acne.

After the required number of sittings, try out homemade facial packs to maintain the spot-free look. Maintain the glow by preparing some fruit facial packs with mashed strawberries, mashed apples, or mashed papaya. Home beauty tips for brides are the best way to make sure that the effect of the clinical treatment stays.

Beautiful Hands and Feet 

Keep your hands and feet soft by massaging olive oil on them before going to sleep at night as this will keep dryness of skin at a bay. During the shower, make sure that you use a pumice stone on your feet to remove the callus or dry skin from your feet. Polished nails of both hands and feet give an added appeal to your look. You must certainly maintain clean and polished nails through bi-weekly or monthly manicures and pedicures.

Hair Removal

Keep yourself well groomed by including hair removal techniques, which applies to your legs and hands from which you usually remove hair. Whether you have a facial hair or not, make sure to keep your facial hair unhighlighted and eyebrows in shape. Sudden hair removal of any part of the body can give you small cuts or rashes. Whichever process you use for hair removal, maintain that bi-weekly or monthly, as per the requirement.

Facial and Hair Spa

Start getting monthly facials from at least six months before the wedding. If you have less time left in hand, opt for a bi-weekly gold facial. Always ask for a patch test before applying any new products on your skin.

For healthy and shinier looking hair, start getting a hair spa done once a month and like the facials, start this treatment at least six months before the wedding. If you do not prefer chemical hair spas, there are many homemade masks that you can use to get some shine in your hair.

Gym

Avoid crash dieting or aggressive gym schedules 1-2 months before the wedding. It can make you look really tired and crabby. For a toned figure, consult a dietitian and a personal trainer. Start working out at least four months prior to the wedding to achieve effective weight loss, especially in problem areas like tummy and thighs.

Meditate

An effective way to reduce stress and take some me time out is by meditating for at least 15 minutes a day. You will definitely feel calmer. Try and think positive thoughts. Think about the happy times when this chaotic period will have passed. You will feel serene, and the wedding will feel like a breeze. Inner peace will lead to better wedding snaps too. Trust us!

Diet 

You must drink enough water to keep your body toxin-free. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water. Opt for coconut water or lime water to shed the bloat. Eat a balanced diet consisting of fruits, green vegetables, and protein.

Avoid munching on junk food items like chips, chocolates, ice creams, or sodas. They lead to bloating and skin problems. It’s ok to have a few cheat days but keep them in check. Opt for healthy and nutritious snacks like fruits and sprouts.

It is essential to provide the body with antioxidants and minerals in order to have healthy and glowing skin. Lack of vitamins or minerals leads to nail and hair breakage and sallow appearance of the skin. For flawless skin, consult your doctor or dietitian to fill any nutritional gaps.

Spa and Massage

This is not absolutely necessary but if you want to take some time off from the wedding stress, then you can visit any reputed spa and get a massage.
