Beautiful Skin For Brides To Be
August 12, 2008
Often, with so much to do and organise before the run up to the big day, brides tend to neglect skincare, sidelining it to their detriment of having beautiful skin to match their bridal dress and setting. What’s more, high stress levels play their own havoc with the skin, causing acne breakouts, eczema or dry patches. And, if you think treating yourself to a facial a week before the wedding will solve the problem, it may well be too little, too late.
What every bride needs on her wedding day is glowing skin on that will imbue her with confidence, so when guests tell her she looks radiant she knows they are being absolutely truthful. The last thing a bride wants is a wedding photo that shows a face with spots, even if it just the one, albeit the biggest one starring back at her.
No point telling a bride-to-be to avoid getting stressed out and to take things easy, it’s easier said than done in the run up to any wedding day. It’s difficult for her to sit back and relax and one has to understand that stress and panic are all part and parcel of getting wed. Which is why, unless brides compensate by following a skincare routine months before the big day, their appearance will suffer the consequences.
Time may be scarce by take time out care for your skin, even if it isn’t easy, it’s a must. Starting even a month before the wedding day will help settle your skin. If, you have neglected it for years, then it is essential that you begin much earlier, even before hiring a wedding planner or photographer.
For acne sufferers or any other skin condition, make an appointment with a dermatologist, soon as possible. A qualified dermatologist can prescribe treatments that actually work, whereas a beautician could well worsen the situation, instead bettering it.
While, most brides would like a bit of a tan for their wedding, avoid booking a sun bed treatment, as you risk breaking out in freckles and emphasising lines and wrinkles because of dry, dehydrated skin. In the months leading up to the wedding, make sure you always apply a sunscreen of 15 SPF or higher to prevent UV damage.
Give your healthy glow without going out in the sun with regular skin exfoliation. While, normal, combination or problem skin can handle weekly exfoliation, sensitive skin on the other hand is best advised to stick to monthly treatments. With a vast range of home exfoliation treatments with added alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) to choose from, select one that will help remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance of lines and problem skin. With regular exfoliation, your skin will provide a perfect canvas for a professional fake tan that will give you colour without the skin problems that come with sun beds and sun bathing!
For your regular skincare routine, always cleanse and tone your skin twice a day. If you wear foundation, you will be amazed by the amount of residual makeup left behind by regular cleansers, so follow with an AHA-based toner to ensure you remove all traces.
For a simple weekly hydration treatment, add a few drops of essential oil, baby oil or olive oil to a bowl of steaming hot water and steam your face for 10 minutes. The steam opens up your pores, allowing fine droplets of oil to penetrate your skin without slicking it in a layer of oil.
If you have fine lines or occasional blemishes, adding an over-the-counter retinoid (vitamin A cream) to your daily skin care routine can dramatically improve your skin’s appearance. If you are susceptible to dark circles under the eyes, apply an under-eye cream with AHAs.
Above all, avoid aggressive and experimental treatments in the run up to your wedding, whether in a beauty salon or at home.
