The wedding season is about to begin and if you are a bride or a bridesmaid looking forward to stepping up your beauty game on the D-day, then this is for you.

Flaunting glowing, gorgeous skin and a glossy hair on the wedding day is every bride’s dream. And like all other wedding preparations, your beauty regimen should also start well-in advance.

Beauty experts recommend following a planned beauty routine 3 months ahead of the wedding to achieve glowing skin, shiny hair and the perfect look you desire. Read on, to know more about the beauty checklist to follow.

Exfoliation Is Must:

A skincare regimen is incomplete without proper exfoliation. Use a mild exfoliator 2-3 times a week to scrub the off the dead cells from your face and lips. Avoid using a harsh one as it may make your skin too rough and patchy. You can even try out some homemade scrubs to do it the natural way and avoid getting any allergies.

Regular Cleansing, Toning and Moisturising:

CTM or Cleansing, Toning and Moisturising should be done religiously without fail. Use a suitable cleanser depending on your skin type to remove the oil and dirt so that the pores are breathable, follow it up with a toner to tighten the pores. Last but not least, don’t forget to apply a proper moisturiser to keep your skin soft and moisturised and use a lip balm to keep your lips moisturised too. You must always apply a sunscreen with a good SPF before stepping outdoors.

Schedule Monthly Facial:

Facial is very important as it not only imparts a beautiful glow to your skin but also helps you relax through all the hustle and bustle of the wedding. Try to schedule a facial spa therapy every month right till your big day to get that absolute skin rejuvenation. Ask your beautician to choose the right products which are suitable for your skin type. You can try some homemade face packs but if you are short on time, you may even go for a gold or diamond facial twice a month to flaunt that crystal clear smooth skin on your wedding.

Pamper Those Beautiful Tresses:

Nothing compliments a bride, rather than a healthy, gorgeous beautiful mane. And to achieve that, you must start taking care of those locks much ahead of time. Follow a monthly regimen of the hot oil therapy, followed by washing off with a mild shampoo and conditioner. Lock in the moisture by putting on some hair serum. Pamper your hair with a relaxing hair spa or you can also try some homemade hair mask every week to add that extra glossiness to your hair.

And to top it off, you can grow out your hair and get a superb hair-do from your hairstylist for your special day to get that breath-taking appearance.

Manicure and Pedicure Is A Must:

Your hands and feet play a key role when achieving the perfect wedding look. Everyday work and harsh environment can make your skin rough and tanned. Soften your hands and feet by mild scrubbing and massaging with olive or almond oil.

Pamper your hands and feet with a monthly manicure and pedicure or try some homemade scrubs to keep them soft and supple.

Additional Beauty Checklist To Follow:

Rejuvenate With Superfoods And Fluids

Don’t let your beauty be superficial, rather attain that perfection from within. Add a lot of green veggies and seasonal fruits to your diet to get healthy glowing skin. Snack on some nutrient-dense nuts rather than fries and burgers. An inflamed stomach shows up like acne and pimples on your face. So, to soothe your stomach and liver, revitalize your body by drinking an ample amount of water, fresh juices and protein shake.

Hold On To Beauty Sleep 

An absolute necessity before the wedding is 7-8 hours of a power nap. When we enter the deep sleep stage, the cortisol (stress hormone) gradually decreases, and the growth hormones shoot up. These growth hormones chiefly work by repairing the damage done to our body during the day and thus rejuvenating the skin, hair and overall body.

A well-maintained sleeping routine not only provides the much-needed rest but also helps you get rid of stubborn dark circles, puffy eyes and premature signs of ageing while blessing you with flawless, smooth skin. And to add a cherry to the cake, it even helps you lose weight if that too was on your checklist.

Get A Power Massage Therapy

In case you want to get away from the wedding blues, nothing beats a peaceful aromatherapy session or a full body massage or a spa to exhilarating your mind and body. Not only do monthly aromatherapy sessions provide relief from stress and hypertension but also calm the mind and mitigate any signs of anxiety.
