The engagement is over, and the excitement for the wedding planning sets in. Planning a wedding is no mean feat; pulling off the perfect day takes tremendous energy and resources. Apart from preparing for the day, you will also need to start preparing your perfect bridal look. Starting a wedding beauty regimen is an excellent way to practise self-care and de-stress before your wedding.
Every bride wants to look her best on her special day. The clock is ticking away, and it is time to start crossing items off your beauty checklist in preparation for your wedding. We have checked in with the experts and compiled a list of five key things to consider when organising your bridal beauty routine.
- Manage Stress
Wedding planning and stress go hand-in-hand—but there is no end to the list of blunders caused by unmanaged stress. This is why it is essential to find ways to manage your stress levels in a healthy way, such as exercise, relaxation exercises, and yoga. If you get too overwhelmed, you could also consider hiring a wedding planner and/or enlisting family and friends to help in the process.
- Prioritise Skincare
To ensure your skin has a healthy glow on your big day, it is essential to implement a skincare regimen early on. This includes moisturising your skin and applying sunscreen with high SPF, as well as hydrating and getting enough sleep. If you suffer from breakouts, it’s time to visit your dermatologist for a consultation to ensure you will look your best on your wedding day.
- Go Fuzz Free
If you plan to get rid of unwanted body or facial hair, it is important to do your homework early on and determine the method you plan to use. There is a wide range of hair removal methods available, ranging from temporary to permanent. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA, and it is effective for removing hair from all body and facial areas. In contrast to laser hair removal, which is only effective for removing dark-coloured hair from lighter shades of skin, electrolysis is effective for removing all hair types from skin of all colours. However, multiple sessions are needed to achieve the best results. Therefore, it is important to begin your electrolysis hair removal treatment ahead of time to ensure that you will be free of unwanted hair for your big day.
- Prep Your Skin
Dead cells tend to accumulate on the skin and interfere with the reflection of light, making your skin appear dull. Include regular exfoliation into your skincare routine and follow it with a brightening serum. This will ensure that you look like a bride glowing with happiness. Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells to improve radiance and helps with the absorption of brightening products through the skin.
- Focus on Hair Health
When preparing to look your best for your wedding day, it is important to remember to take care of your hair ahead of time. We recommend using deep-conditioning hair masks on a regular basis to keep your hair healthy and nourished. You can also opt for getting a hair treatment at a salon to keep your hair looking stunning. You can choose from a wide range of hair treatments these days, including Brazilian Blowout Original Solution, Keratin treatment and Japanese straightening. If you plan to colour your hair, it is best to do it ahead of time, in order to make any necessary adjustments. As a rule of thumb, it is advised to stay within two shades of your natural colour.
Rounding Off
There are many steps you can take in preparation of your big day to help you look and feel your best. In addition to the tips mentioned above, we also recommend hiring a trainer or a nutritionist who will help to prepare a meal plan and workout regimen in preparation for your wedding. In addition, you can also consider setting up an appointment with a skin and beauty consultant who will guide you for make-up, hair and skin care the week before your big day. They will help to ensure that you have all your bases covered and look your best on your special day.
