11 Beauty Things to Do Before Your Wedding
Selecting the wedding venue or wedding attire is hard but trying to look picture-perfect on the D-day is trickier for every bride-to-be. Scrolling through your recent Instagram feed or seeing those reels of stunning brides can make you feel a bit envious. But what if we tell you that you can be the most gorgeous bride in town? Whether you wish to look radiant for an Instagram-worthy bridal look or want to avoid last-minute beauty fiascos, this blog is your savior. Here is a rundown of things you need to do a few months before your wedding to look as pretty as a picture:
1. Pay Attention to Your Diet
No matter how many pre-bridal beauty treatments you opt for, they won’t help if you do not rely on a good diet. To make your skin glow from the inside out, start eating a nutrient-rich diet. Fill up your plate with antioxidant-rich foods such as fruits, nuts, seeds, green tea, and dark chocolate. Start sipping on hydration fluids to flush out toxins and embrace flawless skin. Avoid fad diets, processed foods, fried snacks, and sugary stuff as much as possible. Not to mention, always eat healthy carbs and whole foods.

2. Count on Beauty Vitamins
Do you know what it takes to be in possession of beautiful and healthy skin & hair? Beauty vitamins! Besides consuming nutrient-dense foods, you need certain vitamins and minerals to keep your skin spotless and glowing. When it comes to healthy skin, vitamins A, C, E, D, and K can help you get that ethereal charm.
To keep your hair in its healthiest and shiniest state, count on nutrients such as biotin, protein, iron, selenium, omega-3s, copper, and zinc. Eat foods rich in these nutrients or invest in a multi-vitamin supplement to meet nutritional requirements and also counteract any nutritional deficiencies.

3. Physical Fitness Matters
If you have been a laid-back person when it comes to physical fitness, it’s time to change your stance. Sweat out every day to expunge toxins from your body and boost circulation. Well, you don’t have to hit the gym to look physically fit. At-home yoga or simple cardio exercises like jumping rope and running are enough to tone your body. If you want to perspire more, incorporate HIIT workout and strength training into your fitness regimen.

4. Revive Your Skincare Routine
Everyday CTM might be your facial skin’s best buddy, but you need to do something extra on your part for that much-coveted ‘glowing’ skin. End your quest for the Holy Grail skin by treating your skincare concerns with natural skincare. To do this, opt for all-natural or toxin-free skincare products to address problems like hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, or tanning. Invest in a vitamin C serum and anti-aging cream to keep those unsightly signs of dull or aging skin at bay. And do not forget to exfoliate with a DIY coffee & olive oil scrub.
For body care, engage in frequent body massage and body polishing sessions. A salon-grade body polishing treatment a week before your D-day will bring out the glow you are craving for.

5. Try a New Hair Color
If you have a penchant for trendy hair colors, why not try one before your wedding? Test an on-trend hair color to bring a drastic change to your look. To have everyone gushing over you, get something like ombre, brown with golden streaks, bronzey brunette, warm brown, or dark chocolate. For an idiosyncratic yet elegant look, try Jennifer Winglets’ recent OTT cherry red hair color.

9. Indulge in Some Grooming
Grooming is a prerequisite for every bride-to-be. Kick start your grooming session a week before your special day to look more attractive than ever. Get your brows done, opt for waxing, and get a keratin hair treatment. Also, get a gentle facial a few days in advance to avoid redness. Get the treatment from a professional to avoid any allergies. Don’t forget a hot oil head massage and body spa to recover from fatigue. For nails, you can settle for trendy nail art design or simple manicure/pedicure to make your hands and feet look alluring.

10. Pay attention to Your Lips
To get those luscious lips, you need to resort to the right lip care. Exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush or sugar scrub thrice a week and always wear a lip balm at night. Massage your lips with almond oil before hitting the bed every night. You can also decide to get a lip tattoo if you have pigmented lips.

11. Manage Stress
Stress can take its toll on your skin health so make sure to combat it before it gets serious. To manage your stress levels, meditate every morning. Yoga & meditation can offer some relief from that hectic planning and fast-paced days. Also, make sure to get a good night’s sleep every night to relax your mind. A full body massage or a simple bubble bath on weekends will also help you rejuvenate your senses. And do not forget to smile and laugh every now and then to quell your worries.
