Every bride wants to be the cynosure of all eyes on her wedding day. Come to think of it, it is her day of celebration, so she is allowed to ‘take all the shine.’ She would ensure that she ‘wows’ the audience but most especially her groom from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet.
Her wedding gown is one highlight that everybody would be looking forward to. The bride would ensure that it is well-fitted and glamourous. If the bride does not feel good about herself then the whole essence of the wedding has been defeated. She can only feel good when she is looking her best and her mind and heart are at rest. Then would her beauty flow from within to without. To achieve this, here are things she should invest in before her wedding day:
1. Get manicure and pedicure
Once the bride gets engaged, people would be on the lookout for the engagement ring. It would be embarrassing to find an engagement ring on unkempt nails. Hence the bride needs nails, hands and feet primed with a regular manicure and pedicure. This also gives her the opportunity to pick the right nail choice for her wedding day.
2. Invest in teeth whitening
The wedding day would involve a lot of photographs. For the perfect smile, the bride must ensure her dentition is right. She would not want her photos to come out with a faint smile because she can’t show nice white teeth. Before the wedding, to avoid such embarrassing situations, the bride can go for teeth whitening. Using toothpaste with whitening properties is another option.
3. Watch your diet
The bride-to-be should try staying away from sugar, lots of sodium and processed foods. These all lead to belly fat and bloating. She should focus on clean eating that includes green vegetables, fruit and lots of water. These are great for fueling your body, boosting your energy and clearing up your skin. She should also stay away from alcohol as well as it dries out the skin.
4. Exercise
It would be good for the bride-to-be to engage some simple exercise routines or join a gym if she can before the wedding to stay in shape. This will also keep her energy levels up and keep her ‘happy hormones’ flowing too.
5. Prepare your face
Before the wedding, the bride-to-be should keep her face smooth. This would be a good base for her make-up. She should do weekly exfoliation, either physical or chemical. Adding a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid can also help to plump up fine lines around your face. Apply it daily before your makeup for softer and smoother skin. It is not a bad idea to get professional facials done if she can afford it.
6. Take care of your skin
The bride-to-be can use body scrub regularly in the shower to get rid of dead skin. Then, she can moisturize with a lotion that’s infused with almond or shea butter. She should also take a lot of water to keep her skin hydrated.
7. Get beauty sleep
With her wedding around the corner, it is not a good time to be stressed out because of trying to get everything in order. The bride-to-be should not neglect the beauty of resting and sleeping as these activities have a way of repairing the body and calming the nerves.
