““A wedding date gives you a deadline, and forces you to start making a move.” The clock is ticking and it’s time to start checking things off your wedding beauty plan leading up to the big day” source Brides.com
So you are getting married? Congratulations. That means, there is a lot of work to be done. From the wedding hall to book to the caterers to see and more, there would be a lot of running around and stress, isn’t it? In all that, don’t forget to care for yourself- eat well, have trace minerals in your diet, drink a lot of water, exercise, meditate and six months prior to your wedding, start your skincare routine. You would then end up looking like a supermodel at your wedding. And here are some ingredients to use, six months before D -DAY.
Pomegranates
The fruit is rich in omega 5 fatty acids and oil, which goes deep into the skin and hydrates the skin well. It also protects the skin from the sun and the environment too. Pomegranates also help with new cell production, and softens the skin, produces more collagen and elastin too.
Argan oil
It is a powerhouse of every beauty oil known to mankind. And on the beauty shelf too. It has not only cosmetic but medicinal purposes as well. It helps heal and repair the skin, and protects it from the harmful rays of the sun. There is also plenty of Vitamin E in it, and it has antioxidants too. This promotes healthy skin and glowing supple skin too.
Green Tea
Bathe in it or drink it- your choice. You can never go wrong with green tea, which has plenty of antioxidants in it. The skin is saved from the oxidative stress, and green tea is anti-inflammatory as well. Experts at Healthline say “Green tea contains several vitamins, including vitamin E, which is known for its ability to nourish and hydrate the skin.”
Vitamin E
It is a known fact that Vitamin E is a super antioxidant of nature. It helps bring down signs of stress and ageing, and defeats free radicals that attack the skin. Since our bodies do not produce this sublime moisturizer naturally, one can get lotions and capsules to use.
Vitamin b3
If you have been dreaming to have beautiful glowing skin on your wedding day, start using Vitamin B3 from now. It should be added to your skincare routine, say beauty experts. B3 is also known as niacinamide, and is a treasure trove. There are plenty of antioxidants in it, which help the skin stay safe from the harmful UV rays of the sun, from pigmentation and blemishes too.
Experts at medicinenet.com say “Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a stable vitamin that offers a wide range of well-documented topical benefits…… It has a multitude of effects to help smoothen the skin texture.”
Cucumber
Our grandma’s were right, when they said cucumbers were good for you. Load up on a lot of them, when you go food shopping the next time. Use slices of cucumbers as eye pads, to bring down the puffiness and tiredness that the eyes show. If you don’t, you would look older on your wedding day. Cucumbers have a lot of Vitamin E in them, and even potassium too. Together they help fight wrinkles and fine lines, and help soften the skin and make it supple as well.
Vitamin C
oranges are not just great to eat, but good for skincare too! They have Vitamin C in them. Vitamin C attacks wrinkles and fine lines, and charges Vitamin E, boosts collagen and elastin production in the skin as well. When Vitamin E fights free radicals, its strength goes down. But with the help of Vitamin C, the strength is restored. Vitamin C is also known to help with cell stimulation, which produce collagen and even elastin.
AHAs
Also known as citric acid, lactic acid or even glycolic acid, AHAs should be used in your skincare routine. With AHAs, you get to remove dead skin cells, which helps bring to the surface skin that is fresh and supple. For those of you with sallow or grey toned skin, AHAs would be best to use. Milk for example has lactic acid in it, and can effectively revitalize your skin when you wash your skin with milk daily.
Experts at Eminenceorganics.com say “The most gentle alpha hydroxy acid in skin care, lactic acid resurfaces the skin by breaking down the “glue” that binds together the dead layer and debris at the outermost layer of the skin. The acid dissolves away dead skin cells, promoting a brighter complexion.”
So here were the tips on having the best skin using the right skincare ingredients at least 6 months before your wedding. Congratulations once again!
