Every bride desires flawless skin on her wedding day. Here are a few tips to getting your skin in tip top shape for the big day.
See a Dermatologist
You could spend months jumping from one over the counter treatment to another with absolutely no improvement at all. When you’re a bride to be, it is best to bring in the pros right away.
Be Consistent with Skin Care
A good skin care routine will include cleansing, exfoliating, toning, moisturizing and sun protection. Ask your dermatologist what products are best for your skin type and desired results.
Drink Water
Water keeps your skin hydrated and fresh, as well as assist in maintaining your skin’s elasticity.
Eat Healthy
Vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants present in foods like fruits, vegetables and healthy fats are consistently associated with fewer wrinkles, and less dryness and breakouts. On the contrary, saturated fat and sugars are most often linked to higher likelihood of wrinkles, breakouts and age related dryness.
Hire a Professional Makeup Artist
If you’re opting to have a professional do your makeup, now is the time to start lining one up. A great makeup artist can help camouflage breakouts, so even if your skin isn’t quite perfect by the time your wedding day arrives, at least it will look like it is. The best makeup artists book up quickly, so do not delay.
Manage Stress
Perhaps you are immersed in wedding planning details and starting to feel the pressure. Many studies have shown a link between acne severity and stress. Try pilates, yoga, meditation, or any other activity that helps you feel more centered. If alleviating stress doesn’t help your skin, it will at least overall health will improve.
Cortisone to the Emergency
If a breakout flares up just before the big day, an emergency cortisone injection may be just what the doctor orders. Cortisone helps reduce inflammation and flattens out those big, hard to hide blemishes, sometimes within a matter a few hours. Talk to your dermatologist about the possibility of having a cortisone injection applied if necessary before the big day, just to see how your skin reacts. Then, if the need arises, you will have a plan in place to keep that pesky blemish off the guest list.
