Start to improve your beauty regime at least a couple of months before your wedding day so you have time to see improvements. You should discuss this with a skin care specialist and find a program’s to suit your skin type and address your specific skin concerns. Dermalogica do a great range and has program’s to suit every skin type. Facials are a good way to help boost the skin having a course of facials before the wedding can really help skin tone and texture. Using a face scrub twice a week with your regular routine can help boost radiance in the skin. Avene gentle exfoliating scrub is a lovely scrub that doesn’t damage the skin; it gently buffs the dead skin away.

Don’t forget your lips. You should exfoliate your lips twice a week and keep them well moisturized a few months before the wedding. You can use an old tooth brush and Vaseline to exfoliate your lips, just gently buff over the lips. Dry lips show through any lipstick and gloss very easily, so it’s very important not to forget your lips in your beauty regime.

By prepping your skin properly you should have a natural glow and healthy looking skin when you are walking down the aisle, which will only be enchased by the make-up artist on your wedding morning.
