A Guide For Having the Perfect Skin For Your Wedding – Wedamor
Everyone wants a smooth, glowing and a perfect skin and while some may turn to make up for that, we’re here to stop you from making that disaster to your skin and help you learn to pamper it. Don’t get me wrong, I love makeup. But it’s a basic fact that it does harm our skin majorly. It’s all chemical, what else do you expect?
While makeup does work in hiding our flaws, it’s not possible for you to wear it constantly and 24×7 (Unless you like harming your skin).
Our skin is sensitive and needs all the pampering in the world and so, this article is going to be all about how you can get that glow back on your face and tips to get the perfect skin and natural glow for the wedding.
For a Natural Glow
1) Aloe Vera:
Guys, if there is a Holy Grail of all skin related issues, THIS is IT. You can either use the Aloe Vera gel product that comes or the plant itself. You won’t see the difference for quite some time but trust me nothing works better than this. Apply the gel and leave it overnight. Wash off with cold water in the morning.
The key here is to use this homemade remedy every day.
2) Lemon juice
Mix two tsp of lemon juice and sugar. Apply it on the face and scrub in a circular motion, let it sit for 10 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water to get a glowing skin naturally.
3) Turmeric
Turmeric is excellent antiseptic and skin lightening agent which fights skin disorders and prevents skin from looking dull.
Make a paste of turmeric and pineapple juice and apply on the face. Leave it on face until it becomes dry and wash off with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy 3-4 times a week for achieving a healthy and perfect skin.
Some tips:
1) Drink lots and lots and lots and lots of water!: If you want to take one tip from this whole article, this is it.

Pimples, ugh!
Two things in the world I absolutely hate: Slow Wi-Fi and those nasty pimples! Changing weather? They’re out. Going on a date? Look who’s there to say Hi again.
No matter how much you try to avoid them, they’re ziddi as hell. Follow some of these remedies to get rid of these suckers once and for all:
1) Toothpaste
Apply the normal white toothpaste (not the gel) on the pimple and leave it overnight. It is excellent in drying out the pimples in a couple of hours. Although if you have really sensitive skin, you should skip this one and use an Aloe Vera gel instead.
2) Honey
Dab a small amount of honey on the skin as it has anti-bacterial properties that help in reducing the size of a pimple. Leave it for an hour and then wash off with lukewarm water.
3) Egg white
Separate an egg white from the yolk and whisk it and apply the whisked egg on your pimple and leave it there for an hour. If it’s very swollen and red, you could leave it there for a couple of more hours and then wash it off.
It is also effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars as it has a skin lightening formula.
Perfect skin is not just a dream, following the above-mentioned remedies and tips will give you the most healthy looking and glowing skin. Try these out and see the difference!
