Skin Care Tips
Face
• Consult a skincare professional and work out a routine which best suits your skin. It is important to cleanse, tone and moisturise your skin morning and night.
• A facial is always a must before such a special event. You should schedule an appointment at least two weeks before the day, allowing any post-facial breakouts or redness to disappear.
• Make an appointment to have your brows professionally shaped. This will add one of the final touches to your wedding day look.
Body
• Once, to twice, a week you should exfoliate your skin, concentrating on areas such as elbows, knees and feet. Follow up with a deep moisturiser.
• Many brides choose to tan before their wedding day. If you are using a self tanner, remember to experiment well before the event to determine the correct amount required to gain your desired look. If you are attending a professional tanning studio, it is still a good idea to have an application well before the event. If you do not, you risk the look of unnatural colour or even an allergic reaction.
Hands & Feet
• Schedule a weekly manicure and pedicure either at home or at your beauty salon. This will not only allow you to have beautiful hands and feet on your wedding day, but will also help you relax and pamper yourself at this busy time.
• Keep your hands moisturised at all times. It is a good idea to keep a small bottle of moisturiser in your handbag.
• Decide on the nail polish colour for your big day early and remember to check that it suits the style of your overall look. It is a good idea to purchase a bottle of the colour for any chips on the big day and on your honeymoon.
• If you are having acrylic or gel tips applied, make sure they are short enough for you to still use your hands.
