Do All The Right Things You Normally Forget To Do
It may seem obvious but yes, wash your face, use toner and moisturizer, clean your keyboards, phones and pillows, basically do all the things that you wish you would do but after a busy day you might neglect. This includes supplying your body with water and trying to get SPF in anywhere you can. The worst part about all of this is that when you first get back into the routine you’ll notice all the impurities pop up but power through! Trust us, it’s worth it for your wedding day. And, if you’re already doing all that – well done!
Start on Supplements
There are countless vitamins out there that offer to help improve the health of your skin and hear are the main ones. Vitamin A helps to prevent outbreaks and is best taken in a lower dosage. Vitamin C works to fight toxins and can work to heal any scars or wounds. Omega – 3 fatty acid supplements help to keep your skin healthy and free of inflammation. Always consult your pharmacy or doctor before taking any new vitamins.
Treat yourself a Month Before Your Wedding Day
The last month running into your wedding can sometimes be the most stressful time for a bride to be. Treat yourself to a facial in the weeks coming up to your wedding making sure that you have also given your skin enough time to recover before the wedding. The main thing with any facial treatment is to not leave it go too close to the wedding day as your skin may be trying to release impurities to the surface.
The Week and Day Before
This may be a challenge for some brides to be but in the days leading up to your wedding try and cut down as much as you can on your cosmetics. Switch to tinted moisturizer as a compromise the weeks leading up but for a fresh look on your wedding day, go bare faced the day before. This will let your skin breathe a little and it will also cut down your night time routine the night before.
The Night Before and the day of
An early night goes without saying but a mild exfoliant the night before and hitting the sack at a reasonable hour will give you that running start in the morning. If you find you’re a little puffy around the eyes, keep two teaspoons in the fridge to pop on your face for 10 minutes in the morning. The cooling sensation of the teaspoons should reduce any increased blood flow to your skin which can occur when nerves are raised.
