There's so much to do when preparing for your nuptials. Make the countdown easier by checking out these beauty tips and treatments to ensure you look perfect on your big day.

SKIN

Cellulite is a big concern for many women, especially before your wedding. Also known as the 'orange peel', this occurs when dimples appear on the surface of the skin on your thighs and buttocks. These are the result of deposits of fat pushing through the connective layers that lie directly under the skin.

DIY: The most effective method of reducing the appearance of cellulite is dry brushing. It assists in removing toxins that tear the connective tissues apart, causing cellulite. Dry brushing improves the skin's texture and boosts blood circulation. Try: Nivea Goodbye Cellulite Firming Gel Cream R120 and The Body Shop Cactus Brush R200

Splurge: CEYA® treatments are a fast, painless way to improve skin texture and reduce unsightly, bumpy cellulite by removing waste and toxin from fat cells. In conjunction with a healthy eating plan and optimum water intake, CEYA® treatments result in lost centimetres and more sculpted, beautiful muscles. They have amazing body treatments that lift and firm up the skin while reducing cellulite and diminishing the appearance of stretch marks.
