In order to have flawless makeup you need to start with flawless skin, or at least as close to flawless as you can get. Here are a few tips to keep your skin looking its best:
Wash your face everyday: Morning & night use a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer (oil free). Only moisturize where it feels like you need moisture. 3 days a week use an exfoliating facial scrub to sluff away dead skin and bacteria. When washing make sure to go all the way down your neck and upper chest (the parts that will show the most in your gown), and, like my mother always says, “Always wear sunscreen!”
Resurface your skin once a week: About every 30 days your skin renews itself, but often times it is uneven due to dead skin build up, bacteria, and oils on the surface. This causes the skin to become uneven looking, and often causes blemishes. Try an at-home microdermabrasion treatment once a week to keep your skin fresh and clear, and be sure to finish it off with a cell block serum with at least spf 30.
Get lots of sleep: When you hear “I need my beauty sleep”, it’s absolutely true! Sleep is the most important and most overlooked part of your beauty regimen. If you’re having trouble sleeping try taking an aromatherapy bath, reading a boring book, drink a glass of warm milk or chamomile tea. Also, try to avoid television or any wedding planning one hour prior to going to sleep.
These are just a few simple tips that will go a long way to making you look and feel your best on the big day! Happy Planning!
