Emma’s Top Tips for Beautiful Bridal Skin

-

1 Changing your regime

Avoid making changes to your skincare routine just before the wedding. If you’re testing new products like moisturise­rs, serums or even make-up, give your skin a few months to adjust to them. Avoid making any risky changes too close to the wedding day to avoid any reactions or breakouts in the weeks or days before the big event.

2 Keep your skin hydrated

Water helps to hydrate beautiful skin from within. Drinking at least two litres of water a day is not only important for overall health, but also helps to improve the look and feel of your skin, so drink up before the big day.

3 Get lots of sleep

A good night’s sleep can do wonders for the skin as rest is when fresh, healthy cells rise to the skin’s surface and the damage accumulate­d over the course of the day is repaired. A good sleep can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which no one wants on their wedding day!

4 Eat fresh

It’s important to eat the right foods ahead of your wedding day, not only to ensure you feel great in your dress, but also to help your skin look its best as you walk down the aisle. Protein is not only good for curbing hunger, it’s also a great source of collagen, which is vital in helping the skin stay young and wrinkle free. Ensure fresh fruit and vegetables are part of your daily diet, as these are a great source of vitamin C, which contribute­s to normal collagen formation.
