Feeling beautiful shows others how you feel about yourself. Weddings are a time to enjoy and cherish but they are also stressful days.
The best way to secure good memories is planning things the way you would like them to be, including your look. Being confident about your image would let you be at ease and shine beautifully on your wedding day.
In order to achieve your best look, it is important that you start healthy routines months before your wedding day. You would probably benefit from focusing on three aspects: your health in general, then also on your skin and hair.
Here I am sharing some tips to get ready for your most important day.
Don’t let the wedding planning postpone your yearly check up. Make sure all your systems are in good condition and ask if you will benefit from taking a particular vitamin or mineral according to any deficiency you may have. Mention to your Doctor when you expect to get married and if you are planning to take birth control follow your Doctor’s recommendations according to your age and needs. This seems obvious, but starting this planning on time will allow your body to adapt to any hormonal changes.
Doctors’ checkups should also include your dental and vision test. If contacts lenses need to be renewed, do so with time. Same thing with your dental health, don’t postpone any dental work as the last thing you need on your wedding day is a tooth pain.
Your Doctor may also recommend you to continue with your exercise routine. Exercise refreshes your mind helping you in this time of important decisions making. Needless to say, the more toned you are, you will be ready for your exciting days ahead including traveling.
I am pretty sure every doctor and beauty specialist will emphasize the importance of staying hydrated. Why is it so important?
Staying hydrated will ensure your skin and hair look radiant and healthy.
So let’s focus now on your skin. How many times have you heard that you should wear sunscreen to protect your skin? Well, so far I have only mentioned water and sunscreen to protect your skin and ensure you stay glowy for your big day. Those two easy steps are the foundation for any beauty regimen. It is easier to follow these steps than to undergo chemical peelings or other treatments to reduce skin blemishes or lines of expression. The only day you can stay away from sunscreen should be your wedding day as you don’t want any cast in your makeup.
Of course, you can plan in advance what facial treatments you may need. Get to know your skin type so that you get the appropriate facial moisturizer and eye creams. I highly recommend implementing collagen and serums to your daily skincare. If you need help on this, a trial makeup appointment will ensure that you are preparing your skin the right way.
I mentioned following a wellness program as the most important tip because if you are taking the necessary vitamins, exercising and drinking plenty of water your skin will easily absorb the nutrients in any facial treatment and give you the best results. By the way, collagen has different presentations, but studies show that adding collagen as a supplement to your diet, will benefit you more than just superficial collagen to your skin.
Speaking of nutrients, having a good diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, cereals, protein and the right amount of healthy carbohydrates to optimize good skin, nails and hair condition.
What else contributes to beautiful hair?
Besides the above tips it is also recommended to apply hair masks and to take biotin to promote a shiny and manageable mane.
As much as you can, try to stay away from curling or flat irons for healthy hair. If you use these tools with frequency; then, try a heat protector spray. Talk to your hair stylist if you plan to have highlights or a haircut and follow their recommendations for proper timing in regards to your wedding day.
Finally, I suggest you plan these appointments with anticipation:
Vision, dental and well checkups
Hair coloring appointments
Makeup and hair styling trial appointment
Eyebrow and face wax or threading
Facials
Manicure and pedicure
