Undoubtedly, we all females are used to of taking care of
our skins on a regular basis. But when it comes to your wedding, it becomes the
most hyped and priority task for every single bride to be to maintain a
skincare routine that is advised for brides to be and glow like a goddess on
her wedding day.
Whilst some prefer to
visit salons to maintain their skincare routine or get professional advice to
follow at home, some of the brides are still doubtful about what is the most
essential skincare routine that is not only universal but also includes some
holistic approach to it, because when it comes to skin, we all are very well
aware that long term use of chemicals filled creams and serums are not loved by
every single female on this earth and a huge portion amongst us prefer natural
products or homemade skincare regimens.
To curtail your bridal skincare routine confusion, YourDesiBee
has come up with the world’s best Pre-Wedding Bridal Skincare Routine that
every single bride will love to follow even after their big day.
Let’s begin with the Bridal Skincare Routine that will never
grow old!
1. Hydrate Your Body & Skin
Hydration is an essential part for every skincare savvy
person. You can never expect your makeup to be smooth and long lasting if your
skin is not properly hydrates. Sometimes you may think that you can cover up
this issue by using heavy moisturizers, but that can never help to get the
absolute wonderful base that a naturally hydrated skin can get.
Two of my sisters had dry skin and I suffered so much
anxiety and issues whilst doing their party makeovers as the foundation would
not stay or crack up. But the next time when one of them had to get married and
chose me as her makeup artist, my first demand from her was to start hydrating
her skin, drink loads of fluids and water and intake diet that provides
hydration to her body. I also advised her to use moisturizer on a daily basis
as she used to skip on that part for her face in her skincare regimen.
Trust me she followed through the hydration process few
months before her wedding and all of her four days bridal makeup turned out
super flawless and long lasting. The base application was a piece of cake than
the previous experience I had with her.
Hence drink lots and lots of water and eat a healthy diet and incorporate fruits and green vegetables plus smoothies that hydrate your skin from inside out. Also do not forget to use a suitable moisturizer for your skin on a daily basis.
2. Use Ice On Your Face Every Week
No one can deny the benefits of ice or ice cold water for
skin and natural anti-aging process. Many famous actresses have been fond of
this technique where they used to dip their face in ice cold water every
morning to look younger and flawless.
I, as a beauty
enthusiast and a makeup artist love using ice for skin loads. Even though I do
not get to do this every single day, but I try to make my natural face packs
like tomato & potato juice mixed with a pinch of turmeric and freeze them
in ice cube trays. Every other day or twice or thrice per week, I use these
cubes to massage my face, which not only helps to make my skin scar free &
bright but also help with its anti-aging properties along with a permanent
natural glow.
Just like me, you can either use natural homemade DIY face packs
as ice cubes or simply use normal ice cubes to massage your skin daily a month
earlier than your wedding day.
Trust me you will love the effects and the way your makeup
look will turn out.
3. Avoid Stress
I know wedding can be stressful, especially for brides to
be. But another favorite tip or advice for you from my side will be to avoid
stress.
Stress can do more harm than any other thing during your
wedding preparations. You can actually get a breakout because of stress or you
may end up not eating well or sleeping well which may impact your skin directly.
Hence try to avoid stress and share your worries with your bride’s
maids or your friends and family. Divide your duties and maintain a planner so
you know what tasks are done and what needs to be done next. This way you will
be highly organized and reduce the chances of stress and acne breakout or lack
of sleep and eye bags eventually.
4. Eat A Healthy Diet
Make sure to avoid junk foods and prefer eating clean. I
will not ask you to eat salads only and forget your spicy meals or cheat meals.
You can have fun and eat outside once a week but make sure that you are eating
healthy homemade clean food for the other six days and incorporate milk, water
and fresh homemade juices in your diet as well along with seasonal fruits.
5. Take Regular Showers
Most of us already follow regular showering routine, but in
case if you do not follow this already then try to take daily showers a month
prior to your wedding. Exfoliate your body once or twice a week and moisturize
your whole body on a daily basis.
You should also incorporate using natural body and skin
masks like Ubtan twice or thrice a week till your wedding day. If you are not
aware of Ubtan, then let me tell you that it a pure natural mask used in Asian
societies, formulated specially for brides. It does not only make your skin
soft but also makes it glow like a goddess.
If you have not heard
about Ubtan, I will recommend you buying it regardless of your origin or
country. Every bride should try this either a desi or a western bride.
You will thank me for mentioning this product and will love
to use it even after your wedding. I still use it generally for my face and
body very often and swear by its benefits.
6. Use Face Masks & moisturizers
Incorporate face masks as a must follow routine before your
wedding. You can either try natural face masks or face packs of you can also
try store bough masks and sheets masks to help boost the hydration process and
improve skin elasticity.
I will also advise you to not skip moisturizer any single
day before you wedding day. Even if you are someone with an oily skin, your
skin does need a moisturizer. Hence get yourself a suitable moisturizer as per
your skin type and keep using it on a daily basis.
7. Take Regular Facials
Personally, I am not a fan of facials as they make my skin
break out no matter how much expensive or luxurious they are, but I will recommend
facials for brides to be as a must. You can opt for Herbal facials like I do,
if your skin is super sensitive. But do visit a professional in your area and
get your skin checked up and take your required two or three facials before
your wedding day as prescribed by the professionals.
These may not seem like a big deal for you, but they help
your makeup artist a lot as your skin is super prepared for a smooth foundation
base if you have gone for facials before your wedding.
8. Exercise Or Walk For Some Minutes
I am not a believer of slim and skinny brides are the only
best brides and I hate body shaming. Every body type is beautiful. My only
reason to mention exercising and walking on a daily basis is to keep your body
on the move and fresh.
Going out for a walk every morning will not only freshen up
your mood but you will also get some alone time to think out about your
feelings and imagine all the beautiful things this marriage will bring in your
life.
Try to make these few minutes of morning walk and exercise
or meditation fun only. You are not doing it to reduce your fat but to get freshen up and take fresh oxygen
and send positive vibes to your body and mind.
9. Sleep Properly
A proper sleep is the
most essential part of Pre-Wedding Skincare routine. A tired and worn out bride
will not glow or fresh either it’s her skin or her mood and behavior.
Hence make sure to sleep properly on a daily basis and do
not be sleep deprived at all. Completing your required 8-10 hours of sleeping
hours will not only keep you fresh and tireless, but you will always be on the
go with fresh mood for your bridal activities and your skin and body will also thank
you for having proper bedtime and sleep schedule.
These were the major
Pre-Wedding Bridal Skincare Routine Tips that I give every single bride
around me. Trust me these are the only tips that will help you create your own
Bridal Skincare Routine that will become super easy and high maintenance routine
any bride can follow without causing you any extra money to seek a professional
advice or buy any plan to follow before your wedding day.
