It is important that while you
are busy planing your wedding to take the time to pay more attention to
your diet and eat nutritious meals this will give you gorgeous looking
skin, nails, hair and give you more energy.
You should start a beauty routine
early and not leave it to the last minute. Get into a good habit not
only for your wedding but for the rest of your life. It will be
especially hard to keep it up while planning your wedding, so try
not to be tempted to eat junk food when there seems to be no time to
prepare a healthy meal.
Eat fish two to three times a
week, sardines, salmon and mackerel are great as they contain omega-3
fatty acids which will help keep the hair nourished and glossy and
strengthen the nails. Eat small amounts of nuts, seeds, and wheat germ
these contain zinc, which is good for skin, hair and nails.
Your hair, skin and nails are all
made up of protein and cannot repair themselves without sufficient
amount of amino acids which can be found in meat, chicken, fish, eggs,
nuts, pulses and beans. Eat fruits such as apples, pears, and
berries.
Fill up on fresh vegetables,
steamed or salad. Avoid fast foods and fatty foods which are bad for
the skin and your health. And most of all don’t forget to
drink at least two liters of water a day this will cleanse your
insides, and help give you good looking skin.
Beauty Routine Tips
Start a routine as soon a possible after
announcing your engagement.
- At least a month before your wedding you should be
drinking a least two liters of water a day.
- Start a twice-daily beauty routine. It is important
to use quality cleaners, toner and moisturizer morning and night.
- Exfoliate your face and body twice a week, this will
remove dead skin and help refine your pores. Make sure the exfoliant is
not to harsh for your skin.
- As part of your beauty routine, start using a good
moisturizer for your body every night after showering.
- Just before the wedding give your face a break from
wearing make-up, but do not forget to use a good moisturizer and
sunscreen.
- If you do not normally have facials, don’t
get one done in the week before the wedding your skin may have a major
breakout, have it done at least three weeks before the wedding, this
will allow your skin to settle if you do have any breakouts.
- Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables plus regular
exercise and plenty of sleep will help in making you healthier and
happier.
Glowing Skin
If your skin is in good
condition, you will be a glowing beauty no matter what type of skin
tone you have (olive, peach toned, tanned, freckled, and ivory). If you
have a strapless dress make sure that there are no strap marks to show
your tan.
If you want an overall tan, book
yourself in for a spray tan,
but do have a trial run at least two to three weeks before the wedding
to see if you like it. Have the spray on tan applied two days before
the wedding and adapt your make up to match its tone.
If you choose to
apply a fake tan yourself (as with the spray on tan have a trial run),
making sure that you follow the application instructions carefully. If
you are using a self-applied tanning cream or lotion put it on the day
before the wedding so that the tan sets and you will have no chance of
it staining your wedding dress.
Waxing
If you wish to have silky smooth
skin, you may wish to add hair removal to you beauty routine. Waxing is
the most effective way to remove any unwanted hair. Start a monthly
routine to remove the hair on the legs, underarms, upper lips, bikini
line and wherever else it may be necessary.
Waxing gives a long term
result and is kinder to the skin than shaving and the effects last
longer, (it will leave your skin smooth well into your honeymoon). If
you are having your waxing done in a salon, make your last appointment
two days before the wedding so that any redness will fade.
If you are
on a budget, there are some very good at home treatments that you can
do yourself (remember if you are using a product that you have never
tried before, have a trial two to three weeks before the wedding, just
in case you get a reaction to it).
Hands and Feet
Your hands will be a focal point
on your wedding day; you will be showing of your gorgeous rings. Treat
yourself to frequent manicures and pedicures at a salon or at home. Use
lots of hand cream regularly it will help keep the hands and feet soft
and supple.
For your feet scrub daily with a
pumice stone and soap when
in the shower, it will remove hard cracked skin. File and trim your toe
nails and apply a coat of nail lacquer.
If your nails are not the best
why not consider acrylic nails, but do have them applied
professionally. On your wedding day use a clear or pastel colour on
your nails to give a natural look. Strong vivid colors on your lips and
fingers will give a dramatic look.
