It’s a universal experience for women to feel like their whole world is falling apart when having a bad hair day or when a pimple decides to ruin their 3 hours of makeup routine. But finally, the society we live in is making significant efforts to normalize bad days. In addition to their “Let’s see what Prada has sent me” superficial videos, several influencers admitted their lives are not as perfect as the Instagram gaze may portray them, expressing their struggles with confidence and resilience. The world is healing.
Achieving that flawless bridal glow isn’t just about hiring the most skilled hair and makeup artists;
it’s a meticulously crafted ritual that unfolds over time and encompasses multiple facets—what you eat and drink.
How often you exercise, and the care you invest in your daily appearance.
True radiance is far from an overnight miracle, resulting from consistent dedication and mindful self-care.
Skincare Routine Guies Tips
We understand the hype of Charlotte Tilbury’s “Hollywood Flawless Filter,” but that alone is not enough. You must commit to a skincare regimen, as it’s a delightful ritual that enhances your appearance and nurtures self-care, fostering a glow of self-love that will shine outwardly. While it’s true that true beauty stems from within, you cannot possibly wish for impeccable skin if you’re sleeping with your makeup on. And that’s how we got to the first step: Never sleep with your makeup on, no matter how tired you are, because of how much you’ve danced in the club.
Applying retinoids six months before your wedding can be a strategic step toward achieving a flawless, radiant complexion. Retinoid cosmetics debuted on the market as the so-called “secrets of youth” due to their ability to increase cell turnover and make way for fresh, new cells to reach the surface of your skin.
A proper skincare routine isn’t something you should learn from TikTok or from internet amateurs’ beauty gurus, as it’s imperative to consult with a dermatologist before in order to find out what you can and cannot use. We can offer a carefully curated list of what your skin truly needs, but the choice of products is entirely yours. Keep in mind that a beautiful label doesn’t guarantee quality ingredients, and your skin deserves only the best. Let’s see how a complete beauty routine would look like:
- Day skincare products: Cleanser, Toner, Serums, Eye Cream, Spot Treatments (optional), Moisturizer, Face Oil, Sunscreen.
- Night skincare products: Double Cleanser, Toner, Retinol, Eye Cream, and night moisturizer.
- Moreover, there are nights when you can simply let your skin breathe, as less-clogged skin pores absorb skincare products better.
Hair Care Routine Tips
As hair is a girl’s best accessory, it requires thoughtful care, especially if you’re a bride-to-be. Women are constantly in pursuit of practical solutions to achieve that coveted, Rapunzel-like hair, but with countless products flooding the market, it’s hard to tell which one is the best option.
- For hair growth, you can try scalp massages with essential oils like pumpkin seed, rosemary, peppermint, and castor oil. Rinse your hair with rice water from time to time, sleep on a silk pillowcase, and maintain a protein-rich diet.
- If your desire for long, luscious hair outweighs the risks of extra growth in unexpected places, then Minoxidil might just be your secret weapon.
- Moreover, using creams with green coffee extract and petrol can be a powerful ally in your battle against hair loss.
- For hair shine, you can try lamellar treatments (which can be professionally executed at a beauty salon), shine serums, glossing treatments, and oil sprays.
Do we even need to say that using heat on your hair without protection is entirely forbidden?
Workout, Nutrition, and Mindfulness
You’ve probably encountered the Pilates Princess Trend while navigating the internet, but in case you didn’t bother to find out more about it and scrolled next, let’s talk about it now, as it may be just what you need to look and feel your absolute best on your wedding day.
- Beyond the snobbery and the slight frivolity the name may suggest, being a “Pilates Princess” is about more than just a pink Alo set – it embodies a commitment to fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness.
- For those who believe Pilates sessions are all about dressing girly and moving a little.
- You’ve never been to a full-body toning class, as it works the soul out of you.
- People who have been to marathons admitted that 45 minutes of Pilates still feels like a graceful form of self-inflicted torture.
You can bring your bridesmaids along on this journey of vitality and well-being by scheduling your bridal party catch-ups in a green space that encourages movement and mindfulness. Coffee bars are so yesterday (or so we’ve heard), so gather your girlfriends for a green juice date to discuss bridesmaids’ dresses. If parting ways with a caramel cappuccino might seem impossible, at least balance it with a nutritious smoothie – because the saying “you’re what you eat” is far from a myth.
Moreover, when was the last time you spoiled your mom? Book a double massage session for the two of you, paired with the quest for the perfect dress. Your tastes may not always align, but a relaxing massage beforehand will surely help you find common ground.
Final Thoughts
As you can see, there are various things you need to take care of if you want to radiate beauty, confidence, and inner peace on your big day. While it may sound impossible for a bride-to-be to avoid stress, or at least to somehow manage it, you must care for your peace of mind more than ever. Why? Stress leads to hormone disruption, breaks out your skin, and deepens fine lines. Would you like that?
There is no need to answer; we know you wouldn’t.
Step out confidently and be the most radiant bride the world has ever seen; good luck!
