Her Tips for the Big Day

The best make up will look its best if applied on the healthy skin.

Unfortunately, healthy skin has number of latent enemies such as :

  • Sun damage (UV light)
  • Pollution and the environment (dirt & grime clogging pores)
  • Smoking is very harmful to skin
  • Poor diet and excessive alcohol consumption
  • Stress and lack of sleep
  • Skin care neglect

Although no one can stop the ageing process, there are positive steps you can take to reduce the effects of the above factors:

  • Wear sunscreen of SPF 15 or above daily
  • Have a sensible well balanced diet
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Have sufficient sleep
  • Adopt a regular exercise routine
  • Stop smoking

A few months before your big day try to stick on this routine to help your skin looking at its best for your wedding day:

Cleanse in the morning to remove surface oil and dead skin cells then repeat in the evening to remove makeup and pollutants that your skin has been exposed to during the day.

Moisturise in the morning with a day moisturiser to hydrate and protect your skin (many contain SPF protection) and in the evening apply a richer night cream.

Exfoliate the skin to remove accumulated dead skin cells using gentle stroking rather than scrubbing once or twice a week as required to radiate the skin, unclog pores and smoothen the complexion. Moisturising products will be more effective with regular exfoliation.
