How To Get Rid of Your Bad Beauty Habits Before Your Wedding Day
The build-up for your big wedding day can be one of the most overwhelming and stressful periods of your life. There are a lot of things to prepare for a wedding, but something that gets overlooked is your beauty. However, bad habits are likely causing skin issues, so this is something that you need to home on. What are the habits you need to break, and what are the habits you need to embrace?
Hand Care
Hand care is one of the most important things for your wedding day because, during your wedding day, people will focus on your hands as the wedding ring is being put on. Even when you walk down the aisle, people will be looking at your hands and everything else. Plus, there will be plenty of photos taken later on in the day of your hand, wearing that glorious wedding ring.
To ensure your hands look good for your special day, you need to have moisturizer on your hands. Even after you wash your hands, you should moisturize them, as hand soap can strip the natural oils from your skin, causing them to dry out. As part of your skincare routine at night, you should moisturize everything, even though you are going to sleep. This is the perfect time to put on some more moisturizer before you get some sleep.
Avoid Weight Loss Schemes That Are Unhealthy
Many people go on intense weight loss schemes to fit into their wedding dresses; however, this isn’t healthy for you. These sorts of weight loss schemes are not sustainable for long-term weight loss. Plus, it will cause further stress for your big day. Stress can cause spot breakouts, so ensure you don’t add to the stress.
If you need to lose weight before your wedding day, you need to start early. Starting early will be much healthier than looking to lose weight in the space of two months before your wedding day. A good period to start would be six months before your big day, as this is a good way to lose weight healthily.
Have a Night Skin Care Routine
Another common mistake many women make is that they sleep in their makeup. It is the worst thing you can do to your skin. Give yourself enough time in the evening to wipe off your makeup and have a skincare routine to go along with it.
Cleansing is essential for your skincare routine and keeps you looking your best. Your face will be full of dirt, dust, and makeup, so make sure you give it a thorough clean before you go to bed. Then, once your skin is clean, put on a moisturizer for the night.
Stop Changing Hair Colour and Style
There will be a lot of products in your hair for your wedding day, so you need to make sure your hair is healthy for your big day. Looking after your hair is essential in the run-up to your wedding day. This includes not chopping and changing styles every few months. Maintain the same hairstyle and color so you are not damaging your routes. If you wish to change your hair for the wedding, then consider hair trials a month or two before so you can get ready in time. But make sure your hair is healthy before these hair trials.
Don’t Avoid Skin Protection
Keeping your skin protected is another important factor. Sun exposure will not only make your skin age but it can cause many other things, such as dark spots or uneven skin. Uneven and inconsistent skins are very difficult to put makeup on and make it stay on.
To ensure your skin is protected, consider wearing sunscreen to help protect against the sun. We advise that you also go with a high factor to ensure that you are fully protected.
Avoid Bad Oral Hygiene Habits
Something else you must remember for your wedding day is that you will smile a lot. So you need to ensure your teeth are in their best possible condition. To ensure your teeth look their best, consider getting rid of those unhealthy habits, such as drinking and smoking. Smoking can cause your teeth to yellow, and drinking can also stain your teeth.
If you are a smoker, consider quitting or if you don’t want to quit, consider a nicotine replacement. A good nicotine replacement would be nicotine patches but if you want something with flavor, then velo freeze pods would be the better option, as these provide you with nicotine for 30 minutes. Avoiding drinking alcohol shouldn’t be too difficult; however, if you miss the taste of alcohol, then consider alcohol-free drinks.
Once you have quit both smoking and drinking, consider getting a teeth-whitening kit from your dentist. Ensure you do this for long enough before your wedding day so they also look natural.
Summary
Preparing for your wedding day can be difficult; however, there are many things you can do that will cause you less stress. That includes those bad habits that you have for your health and skin. Follow these simple steps, and you can be sure your skin will look its best.
