Some Homemade Pre-Wedding Beauty Tips – Wedamor
Planning a wedding is a stressful job, Pre-wedding beauty tips are essential. Not to forget, this stress reflects in the form of dull and lifeless skin. For all you know, makeup can only cover so much, one needs some beauty tips. Nothing can beat the beauty radiated by a bride’s inner skin glow. You need to have the best and full of life natural beauty on your wedding day and for that, I have a few pre-wedding beauty tips. Moreover, these are simple homemade remedies so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time, money or effort on seeing experts or salon specialists periodically.
1) Sleep
I know it sounds very cliché and kind of an impossible task to do when it’s your to-be bridal phase. But trust me first of pre-wedding beauty tips is the most basic rule- you need your beauty sleep, girl! Take my word for it; I am not asking you to oversleep, but just the adequate amount. This is one of the most effective tips to avoid those dark circles, tired droopy eyes and a tired face overall. Your loved ones are there to make sure everything is perfect so if you go to bed 2 hours before everyone else does, it is not going to be any less perfect. Give your brain and beauty cells the rest they deserve and only then will any other remedy be effective.
2) Eyebrows
A very common mistake people tend to make is to get their eyebrows threaded/ waxed/tweezed ON the day of their wedding. While you may think it is the best idea to do so to get the cleanest neatest eyebrows, but that’s not right. Doing so results in redness and rashes on your forehead and around your eyebrows, which is hard to cover even with a concealer. Moreover, it could look bad in pictures and be depending on the lighting of the venue, it could look worse. How to have perfect eyebrows on the wedding day you ask? Get them shaped and done 4-5 days before the main day. I know there will be other festivities going on at that point but those won’t be as important as your wedding day, so it all balances out. Further, eyebrows do not tend to grow too big or uneven in that short span of time so that concern is eliminated. This is a very simple among all the pre-wedding beauty tips, if adopted, can give wonderful results.
3) CTM+ E
While most people remember the CTM- cleansing, toning and moisturizing, the equation are only completed with E- exfoliating. The only difference is, while you need to CTM every day, the E should only be done 3 times a week. Not to much not too less. You need to keep clearing those blackheads and dead skin cells that make your skin lifeless. Use an exfoliating face scrub. My personal favorites are Oléa-Scrub Gel, Artistry polishing scrub, and KAMA Ayurveda Kumkumadi Brightening Face Scrub. These seem to always suit most skin types and give great results. Remember to scrub in a circular motion all over the face for at least a minute. That’s the proper key to a great exfoliation.Not enough need some more beauty tips.
