Skin Care for Wedding Day
One thing that I always emphasize to Bridal clients is that Make-up can conceal and enhance, but nothing, really, can beat the beauty of well-hydrated and well-nourished skin.
Wedding planning is both exciting and stressful. Brides must take care of their body in order to feel and look good on the most important, most noticed and most photographed day of their life! While trying to keep yourself slim for the gorgeous Wedding dress, please remember NUTRITION. Keep a balanced diet, a good fluid intake (it's not a lie that 8 glasses of water a day can improve the conditions of your skin!), and don't forget about fibre. Good digestion means that the toxins and wastes don't have to accumulate in the body and show through your pores.
Keep a good cleansing routine for your face every morning and evening, and apply an appropriate moisturizer afterwards. Wear sunscreen during the day (minimum SPF15 and preferably higher if you will be exposed to sunlight consistently). Beware of how tanlines might be visible with your Wedding dress on. I've also worked with Brides who end up with different skin tones between the face and the body. While Make-up can help even out the colour, this is not ideal, and should best be prevented in the first place.
I normally do not recommend that Brides change their skin care products within 6 months prior to the Wedding date. Some allergic reactions can last for months and you wouldn't want to add stress during this period. If you've already got severe or visible skin problems, do visit your dermatologist or esthetician far in advance to allow sufficient time for treatment.
