In the run
up to your big day, you need to start thinking about number one – you! At
the end of the day this means your skin. Here are some important steps to follow to gain that natural glowing bridal look.
With the changeable
weather us Brits have, we need to make sure that on those sunny days, even if
it is a little cloudy to wear an SPF – whether this is in your foundation or
just a light amount of sunscreen before you leave the house (imagine being
sun burnt or peeling in your wedding photos!).
Also if the weather is cool remember
to moisturise – ensuring your face, knees and elbows are especially looked
after so that if you are tanning the tan does not stick to your dry patches.
If you are
working out in order to lose those last couple of pounds from your hen do and
pre-wedding celebrations – remember to take all of your makeup off before you
work out! Nobody cares what you look like at the gym or at your classes.
If you
wear makeup when you are working out, your body will try to expel heat and
toxins, which will clog in your pores, making your skin hold all those baddies
you need to get rid of.
Choose a good skin care regime. Start early –
not a week before and find a product which suits you. Stay away from anything
which includes alcohol (ethanol) or ‘aromatherapy oils’- these are not natural for your skin.
The skin care brand which we would recommend is Environ, especially their AVST
range which formulated exclusively for the International Market. These
moisturisers contain vitamin A and antioxidants including vitamins E, vitamin
C, Green Tea Extract, Honey bush and Rooibos Tea Extracts, Resveratrol and
Beta-Carotene – basically lots of skin goodies! We have recommended this range
to friends and family who have mentioned noticeable improvements and
compliments.
You
