Six months before your wedding day is the ideal time to begin focusing on your overall health and well-being. Your appearance reflects the state of your body, and getting bogged down in wedding planning stress can backfire. Instead, the key is to practice healthy beauty habits with an eye toward overall health and well-being.
• If you want to lose weight prior to your wedding, now is the time to start doing it. Crash diets can make you miserable and uncomfortable on your wedding day, so stick to a healthy, long-term weight-loss plan instead. Going to a gym is a great idea so that you could find a personal trainer, and there are numerous available websites which can help you track your goals.
• Start taking natural supplements to help maintain your hair, skin, and nails healthy. This will guarantee that, no matter what style you go for, you'll have smooth nails, shiny hair, and glowing skin.
• Consider starting an exercise habit even if you don't want to lose weight. Exercise can help you avoid wedding planning stress and gives you an opportunity to make new friends. Yoga, dance lessons and aerobics classes are some of excellent options.
• If you want to try a new cut and color, now is the time to do it. Hair grows, on average, between 1/2 and 1 inch a month, so avoid haircuts that require you to grow out your hair more than a few inches before the big day.
• Now is the time to break any habits that destroy your good look. If you're a smoker, quit now so that you can enjoy your wedding day smoke-free (and get the expected crankiness that comes with it out of the way).
• Organize a consultation with your dermatologist if you have any skincare concerns. Now is the time to get laser treatments or have dark spots removed. 3 months pre-wedding prep Now is the time to pin down all the important details of your wedding day and to do a few test runs to make sure that everything will work out as you hope. If something goes wrong, you still have plenty of time to fix it before your big day.
• If you're planning to use a makeup artist, find the artist as early as now, plan your look, and in the coming weeks, schedule a makeup test run.
• Choose your photographer for your wedding day. If you're having engagement photos taken, do your makeup the way you plan to do it on the wedding day. This gives you the chance to see what you look like in photos and correct anything you don't like, as well as keeping your wedding look consistent.
• Start a healthy skincare routine. Vitamin E can help your skin look youthful and glowing. Stick to a few basic products such as a gentle cleansing wash, toner, and moisturizer. If you have oily skin, try an oil-free moisturizer. Exfoliate your skin once a week to get free of dead skin cells and reduce dullness in your complexion.
• Get a facial. You'll get another one right before your wedding day, but your three-month facial is a test run. If you have a bad reaction, then you know to steer clear of facials prior to the big day! 1 month pre-wedding prep The countdown has begun! A month before the wedding, you have to be careful about scheduling. If you get your hair colored, make sure that you schedule your appointment no more than two weeks before the wedding. If there's anything you're itching to try, such as a spray tan, try it now so you know if it will work before the wedding.
• Have your teeth whitened, either by a professional or using an at-home kit. There's no substitute for shiny white teeth in wedding photos!
• Steer clear of any new skincare treatments. By now, you've perfected your skincare routine, so the key is to stick with what works rather than be taken by the latest gimmick. It can take weeks to reverse the effects of an allergic reaction or peely skin created by a bad product, so don't take the risk!
• If you're interested in such facial treatments, now is the time to have them done so you have plenty of recovery time. 1 week pre-wedding prep You're almost there! The key now is to stick with what's working and do your last-minute beauty habits. Now is not the time for dramatic changes or last-minute crash diets. Instead, take some time for yourself and just enjoy the final countdown to your wedding.
• Confirm the final details of your makeup routine with your makeup artist, and gather any supplies you'll need to take with you on the big day.
• Have any facial hair removal services, including brow waxing, done a few days before the wedding. This gives your skin time to heal but doesn't allow hair time to grow back.
• Consider getting eyelash extensions for lush eyelashes without mascara.
• Get a spray tan if you want to glow on your wedding day.
• Have your nails and toenails done. Gel manicures and pedicures last longer, and will ensure your nails look stunning through the honeymoon.
• Stay hydrated. A dry body will show up with your dry skin.
• Keep your makeup minimal this week to avoid clogged pores. If you develop an awful zit, call a dermatologist to reduce the size of the pimple. 1 day pre-wedding prep You should be done with all of your beauty treatments now. Instead, it's time focus on calming your nerves and creating a relaxing and healthy environment.
• If you get the opportunity, go for a massage to relax those pre-wedding nerves! You'll appreciate the time you took when it's time to get to sleep.
• Spend your day getting a little bit pampered. But be careful to not have any new, foreign treatments done to your skin or hair that could result in any kind of allergic reaction.
• Eat a healthy dinner that won't leave you bloated. If you have food sensitivities, steer clear of any problem foods. Under-cooked foods, rich desserts, and eggs which can give you diarrhea on your wedding day.
• Take off all your makeup before you go to bed, no matter how tired you are after your rehearsal dinner – growing a pimple overnight due to clogged pores is an absolute nightmare for anyone, but especially a bride who’s made such an effort for the past six months to ensure she looks her best!
• Go to bed early. Even though you may have trouble sleeping, try to stay rested and calm about not sleeping. Do something relaxing, such as listening to soft music, watching TV for a little while, or reading a book. You'll be nodding off in no time. After all, eyebags are never a good look for any bride! The pre-wedding beauty doesn't mean you have to devote yourself full-time to primping. Take it a little bit at a time, and you'll see improvements in your appearance and a big boost in self-confidence. No matter how your look turns out, don't forget that the most important factor of all is to feel beautiful and show confidence (and if you’re not feeling it, fake it ‘til you make it)!
A bride should look good and feel good on her wedding day. She has to be at her best on that once in a lifetime moment ("The Big Day", like what others say). This article would indeed be of great help for soon-to-wed women. :)
