Weddings are the bride’s prerogative. Everyone knows that a wedding is the bride’s day and that she is the central focal point of the whole thing. Which is why it is most important that you look your best on your wedding day. After all, all eyes will be on you on D-Day, as it should be. Let’s get a look on some latest bridal beauty tips here.
So, without further ado, here is that part two of Latest Bridal Beauty Tips for the bride-to-be’s most fabulous day:
Apply sunscreen on body, face, and lips.
Exposure to sun is the leading cause of pre-mature aging, as well as sun spots, skin darkening, and dark patches of skin. All of which can cause a dark cloud over your wedding look, so protect yourself. Apply sunscreen before going anywhere in the sun. Also, don’t forget to put SPF on your face and lips as well, something even the best of us do forget. You can use a moisturizer and lip balm with SPF rather than put sunscreen directly on the face.
Visit a Dermatologist
Schedule an appoint with a dermatologist, and well in advance of the big day. Do this especially if you have any concerns such as blemishes or marks on your skin, and want them to be checked out. The dermatologist will be able to point out any and all problem areas, as well as guide you in the direction of the best treatment. They will able be able to recommended a beauty regiment that is best suited to you and your needs.
Whiten your teeth
If you want to get your teeth whitened to give you that sparkling smile, it is recommended that you make an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible, so that he or she may be able to guide you on the ways to whiten your teeth and the amount of time that is takes. There are many options from whitening toothpastes to home kits and professional services. Ensure that whatever you choose, you give it enough time to settle, otherwise your smile just may appear fake and unnatural in the photos, and no one wants that.
Don’t forget your nails
While you will be getting a manicure and a pedicure in the days leading to the wedding. Nail care, actually starts weeks before the event. You should soak your hands and feet in warm water with bath salts and scrub them to remove dead skin and cuticles. You should also regularly moisturize your hands and feet, which will make them soft, something recommended for the cuticles. Also grow out your nails now which will take time, and you need to be able to get comfortable with the length, otherwise you will be all thumbs.
Hair Treatments
Amidst everything else, don’t neglect your hair. There are times when the hair suffers from split ends and those scraggly strays that stick out at weird angles on the top of your head. Treat your hair ahead of time, to ensure that these are not uninvited guests to your wedding. Did you know that vitamin B makes your hair shiny? So, eat more foods that are high in vitamin B. There are also many hair treatment options available ranging from natural home remedies to professional ones, all targeting either specific problems or the quality of hair in general. However, do your research because some treatments may even need six months or more to be fully effective.
Get a facial
A facial is generally an obligatory part of a bride’s beauty regiment to get ready for the wedding day. There is a reason it is; after a facial, your face will radiate and glow to ensure that on your wedding day you look like the goddess that you are. Get the facial at least 48 hours before the wedding day, as it is often recommended that you should not put anything on your face, and especially not makeup right after a facial.
Hair removal
Many people get unwanted hair removed. If that is something you want to do, there are many options available. You can use laser hair removal; however this needs to be done months in advance and will require a few sittings to complete. There is also waxing and threading. This should be done a few days or a week in advance, so that if there is any swelling or reaction, it can go down. However, keep in mind that if you have never done waxing or threading, try it out at least a few months before the wedding, so that you have time to decide whether it is for you.
Warning: Don’t try anything new in the month leading up to the wedding.
Skin is versatile and can be quite sensitive. A new product or a new regiment can irritate the skin, making it appear red and blotchy, or worse damaging the skin, all of which can take days or weeks to heal. You don’t want to take a risk like that days before your big day. Instead, stick to what you know works for your skin. If you do want to try something new, try it at least a month before the wedding, which gives you enough time to ensure that it works for your skin and that there is no damage or allergic reaction, as well as time to deal with it if there is.
Do a hair and makeup trial run
At least a few weeks, or a month or two before the wedding do a trial run with your hair and makeup. This will allow you to ensure that it is the look that you want and that it goes with your dress. It will also allow you to fine tune your look and change some aspects of it, if you want. However, one of its major benefits is that it will ensure that the processes and products are not damaging your skin, and that your skin is not allergic to any of the products that will be used. If would be quite upsetting on your wedding day to realize that you are allergic to the foundation or worse it doesn’t match your skin tone. So, what’s the harm? Better prepared than sorry, right?
While you don’t have to do each and everything on this list, it bears to think about what you want and to ensure that you are well prepared in advance to get the best possible version of that. After all, it wouldn’t do if the bride wanted something in a particular way, or wanted to look in a particular manner and she couldn’t because there wasn’t enough time. So, start preparing everything for your wedding and preparing yourself well in advance, so that everything, and more importantly you are perfect for the happiest day of your life.
