There is much truth to the observation that every bride is beautiful. Each one, in her own way, glows with happiness and excitement. What could be more beautiful than that? But let’s face it; most brides also get a little help from the experts — makeup artists, hairdressers, nail technicians, personal trainers, and even tanning booths. And, why not? Your wedding day is special, and you want to look spectacular. This section is all about revealing the most beautiful you from the inside out and from your tiara to your toes. Healthy SkinDid you know that your skin is a living, breathing organ? With many of the latest fashions in wedding gowns, a lot of your skin may be showing, so you will want to start several months ahead to pay attention to how you care for it. First, check your skin for blemishes, redness, dryness, and any obvious flaws. If you can fit it into your budget, seek advice from an esthetician (find an esthetician in your area here). The first thing she is likely to ask is if your skin care products are appropriate for your particular skin type. Whether your skin is dry, oily, combination, or somewhere in between, there is a regimen of cleanser, toner, exfoliating agent, moisturizer, and night cream designed specifically for you. Whether you shop at your neighborhood or online drugstore; At a cosmetic counter at a large department store like Nordstrom, Macy’s, or Neiman Marcus; or in a specialty makeup salon, you will find a wide variety of products and prices. Don’t guess what to buy; ask an expert for help. If your skin is dry from
winter weather or too much sun, don’t spare the moisturizing lotion; and, even
if you’re not a water drinker, become one. You cannot get enough bottled water
into your system right now. Besides hydrating your skin, it will also keep your
weight down. That’s why every diet plan stresses drinking at least eight glass
of water a day. Pamper yourself with lotions, bath oils, liquid salts, and salt scrubs If you have “problem skin,” an esthetician may suggest facials, light therapy, glycolic peels, or microdermabrasion (surgical removal of skin imperfections). A facial can make you look and feel clean and glowing, but take the time to educate yourself on what is best for your skin. Also, keep in mind that extractions can leave your skin blotchy for up to two days. If you have a more severe skin condition, such as Rosacea (a flushed appearance of cheeks and nose) or acne, talk to a dermatologist about prescription medications. Dermatologists often offer deeper peels with glycolic acids or prescribe topical antibiotics, to help clear up acne. Find a dermatologist in your area here. Since stress contributes to these conditions, practicing relaxation techniques. Keeping up with skin treatments and prescriptions can also help a great deal. The week before your wedding, avoid facials, new skin products or treatments, anything you think may cause an allergic reaction, overexposure to the sun, a strong glycolic peel, self-tanner, and spray-tanning booths.
