Expert Skin Care

You certainly want to look like a fairy on your wedding day but this won't be possible unless you follow a beauty regime months before the D-day. Check out the following beauty tips to follow before your wedding:

Join a Gym or Start Walking

You want to be in the best shape ever for your new husband...so splurge a little and join a gym. Get a personal trainer and get to work! If you just can't afford to join a gym, get out and start walking. Get your maid of honor to come along - but whatever you do get out and get some exercise!

Drink Lots of Water

Start drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. Yes, it sounds like a lot but its worth it. Water flushes toxins out of your system - you can look forward to clearer skin and better health. In addition, water helps you feel full, so you may be inclined to eat less!


Get Regular Facials

General skin exfoliation provided by good facials, removes dead skin cells from your face and makes your skin glow. Choose a good salon and start getting facials every 5 weeks from now until the wedding day. (Do not get a facial on the wedding day though - your skin may appear abnormally flushed.

Get Regular Manicures

Regular manicures help to keep your hands and fingernails in good condition. Ask about exfoliation treatments for your hands as well. Hand exfoliation treatments leave the skin smooth and beautiful.





Book a Stylist and Makeup Artist
Book a hairstylist and makeup artist for your wedding day. Be sure to do this a couple of months in advance and go in for a trial run a couple of weeks before the wedding.


Get Your Hair Cut and Colored Weeks Before the Wedding

Have your hair cut and colored two to three weeks before the wedding. To avoid the new cut and color look (as well as added stress), have your hair cut and/or colored a couple of weeks before the wedding.




Schedule a Pedicure Schedule a pedicure for the day before the wedding.

This is important whether you are going on a tropical honeymoon or not. You want your feet to look nice for your husband and a good pedicure can do just that. Your feet will be smooth, clean and polished!
