PRE BRIDAL SKIN CARE TIPS

SKIN

A beautifully glowing skin is every brides dream beauty on her wedding day. To make that dream come true. Plan your beauty care program and establish a routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing morning and night. Go to the beautician you have selected to do your make-up for your wedding and let her plan your facial cleansing schedule to rectify any fault. Have a cleansing facial once a week for a month. Having a facial is important as it leaves your face clean, fresh and lively. The facial massage helps ease stress. Eat a balanced diet and take lesser spicy foods. No skin care program will help you achieve that glowing look if you continue to eat an unbalanced diet as before. Hands off from stimulation foods during these two months and sleep well if you want a pimple-free complexion. Drink six to eight glasses of water and eat veggies and fruits a lot.

If you have acne problem: To get rid of pimples and other embarrassing blemishes of the skin - wash and grind a few mint leaves to a smooth paste. Apply over your face every night before you go to sleep.

To 1 tablespoon of tomato juice add a few drops of lime juice. Apple on face and remove after 15 minutes. It is very effective for shrinking enlarged pores.

MANICURE AND PEDICURE

HAND & FEET

No part of your body deserves more tender loving care than your feet and hands. It will not do if your hands are rough and when you sit and walk bare footed during the bridal ceremony if your feet are dirty and heels are cracked.
