Expert Advice for Brides to Get Flawless and Glowing Skin in 30 Days

As a bride, it is easy to get overwhelmed with all of the well-meaning advice from friends and relatives about what beauty regimen to follow. As a dermatologist, I get many brides looking for a skin care regime and treatments that solves all their skin woes.

So, read on to get your dermatologist’s guide to ace that bridal glow in 30 days!

#1. Revamp Your Skin Routine

The way you treat your skin will mean the difference between glow and dullness.

• Use non-foaming washes that hydrate your skin while cleansing them, and only wash your face twice a day.

• Make sure you moisturise your skin with a good cream or lotion to ensure that you get fully hydrated and supple skin. Do this at least twice a day.

• For those who don’t drink enough water, it is important to look for rich hydrating creams, which would help to compensate for the lack of internal hydration. Such creams will allow external signs of dehydration to be reduced to a large extent.

• For those of you with acne, use a gel, such as Sebamed Clear Face Gel, to moisturise instead. Such gels will help your skin to get the hydration it needs without worrying about more pimples.

• Finally, the actives that are a must for every bride to include in her beauty regime are vitamin C or Azelaic Acid. Vitamin C is a natural anti-dullness active, which helps prevent any oxidative damage from the external elements. Azelaic acid also helps get rid of pigmentation, making your skin fresher and brighter instantly.

#2. Natural Beauty Secrets

For natural home remedies for your skin issues, there are a multitude of options you can try out.

For dull and pigmented skin:

For those with dull or pigmented skin, can use buttermilk and mango skin mask. Buttermilk has lactic acid, a natural ingredient that is present in chemical peels that gently exfoliates the skin. Mango has vitamins, such as vitamin A, which help induce natural exfoliation as well.

This mask helps get rid of dull and dead skin cells, revealing new skin within a week. Do this weekly for best results.

#3. Wear Your Sunscreen

Sunblock is a necessity to ensure your skin stays fresh and dewy. As the sun is the primary cause of dullness and tanning, it is very important to ensure that you wear enough sunblock and reapply every 4 hours to get its full effects.

Look for sunscreens with both UVB and UVA protection, giving you at least SPF30 with PA++ at minimum.

#4. Reduce Your Stress

Stress will cause your skin to break out while also causing dullness. While it is tough with all the preparations going on, it is not impossible! Do yoga regularly and practice breathing exercises, so that you start your day on a calm note.

Remember to take time to breathe whenever you feel like you are getting overwhelmed by preparations or emotions. Finally, regular exercise will also help to get rid of tension, so join a Zumba class or try rock climbing, etc., to ensure your mind and body is occupied on enjoyable pursuits.
