Wedding Day Skin Care

As the wedding season is approaching soon and those who are about to tie the knot; it is difficult to maintain good looks under stress.

It is enough to make a perfectly clear face break into rashes and pimples. The trick is to start working on your look and caring for your skin right now instead of looking for last-minute solutions a week before the wedding. Start a routine skin care regimen by investing in quality products. If you have dry or sensitive skin, for example, start using a soap free-cleanser like Cetaphil, or use a pH-balanced cleansing bar like Sebamed for normal to oily skin. An alpha hydroxyl product used once or twice a week can revitalize dull skin.

Cleanse your face at least three to four times a day, use a toner immediately after to normalize the skin pH and then use a sun-blocking moisturizer. Always remove makeup before sleeping, no matter how late you have come back home and use a good quality nutrient replenishing night cream.

Detoxify your skin. Stop keeping an eye on those sweets and festive goodies if you want flawless skin for your wedding. Drink two glasses of vegetable juice daily. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Try yoga, they are excellent stress-busters.

Supplements: Cheat a little on nature. Give your body a temporary boosts with a mega dose of skin nutrients; take an antioxidant capsule in the morning, an omega-3 supplement in the afternoon and calcium citrate at night and watch your skin and hair become super-lustrous. For these supplements, ask your dermatologist .Get some professional help

Get smart, get scientific, get with the 21st century ,ask your dermatologist to start skin-peeling sessions or microdermabrasion  that is skin polishing or even laser resurfacing (laser facials) for your face (depending on your budget). They are painless and not at all time-consuming. Four to six sitting at 15-day intervals can give you an unbeatable glow on wedding day. They help to improve your skin colour, texture and smoothen out patchy pigmentary irregularities. Better light reflectivity of the skin with smoother, even-toned skin ensures compliments and ensures wonderful photographs.

Last-minute checklist

• Waxing, threading, bleaching etc should be finished, at least four days before the big day to give your skin time to settle down and to combat any allergic reactions that may occur. If a reaction does take place, apply ice and then a maximum of calamine lotion and mometasone or consult a dermatologist as soon as possible.
• Try out all new makeup a week to ten days prior to check for allergies.
• Make sure that your makeup artist makes use of the best quality, hypoallergenic products to glam you up.
• The last 48 hours try to stay on only fruit and raw vegetables and have water thrice a day. The intense hydration ensures better-looking skin.
• Stay calm as mental peace and happiness reflect on your skin.
