Love Glow simple steps to skin perfection
All brides want to look radiant on their wedding day and apart from a beaming smile, glowing skin shows pure radiance in any bride. Your skin is your most visible asset on your wedding day and it is the foundation you’ll be building on to create the perfect, flawless and radiant look. As with all things in life, if you prepare properly, you will be rewarded!
First things first: time to implement a daily skin regime. Cleanse, tone and moisturise every day to remove life’s stresses and strains that make a home on your skin. Wipe away life’s trifles, feel much better and let your skin glow. All beauty experts will tell you that it is vital to use products that best suit your skin type.
This is particularly important in the build-up to your wedding when sudden or unexplained reactions are unwelcome visitors! For those ladies among you with sensitive skin, look out for quality hypoallergenic products that will be kind to your skin. As we get a little older our skin type can change with the impact of exposure to weather or other factors, so it might be time to have a skin re-assessment with your beauty therapist or salon.
Secondly, think diet and exercise. The old mantra ‘what you put in, you get out’ certainly applies for skin preparation. For the chillier autumn days ahead, try some warm porridge or hearty muesli in the morning, or even a seasonal fruit smoothie where nature’s best will reflect in your natural glow.
Though planning a wedding can be stressful, steering clear or the chocolate in exchange for some fresh fruit will work wonders! Water is life: drink in abundance to remove your body’s toxins and improve your hydration. Taking even a short walk at the end of a busy day is one of the simplest and best ways to put some pep back in your step. Exercise releases endorphins, the ‘feel-good’ hormones which help us to glow all over.
Third on your list of priorities is getting a sound night’s sleep. If you are a night owl and love heading out on the town with the girls, it might be a wise move to get home a little earlier and make sure you get as much sleep as you need. Tired body equals tired skin after all. Swap your late nights for a relaxation session at your favourite Spa to boost your feel-good sensations and help you chase away life’s stresses.
