A wedding is one of the most important days of your life. Everyone wants to look good and glowing on their wedding day and that’s why so many women spend so much time and money on hairdressers and beauticians as a part of their preparations for the big day. However, there are ways to improve and nourish your beauty o+n your own and be well prepared even long before your wedding. Unless you and your fiance plan to elope, you will probably have all the reservations made long before, so you have enough time to start practicing some beauty routine months before your wedding day.  Let’s mention some of those instructions. 

Stay hydrated

Hydration is a basic step when it comes to self-care. Don’t drink water only when you feel thirsty, make it a routine and make your daily intake of water around 8-10 glasses for optimal hydration. Good hydration will make your skin moisturized and without the dark circles around the eyes. Other than water, there are other healthy drinks, like herbal tea, green or black tea, and natural juices. This will boost your energy from the beginning of the day and make you more willing to exercise, go to work, or do any other activity. 

Moisturize your skin

This advice applies both to your face and your body. Skin beauty routine is maybe one of the most important ones. Avoid too much sun or tanning salons. If you want to be tanned for your special day, there are alternatives like spray tanning. It would be good if you visited a dermatologist if you have some skin issue because poking your zits might cause more damage to your skin. In case you have regular skin, a common beauty routine will do the work. There are plenty of self-care products you can use, like face scrubs, body scrubs, serums, body lotions, etc. Some artisan soap bars can be much better for your skin than aggressive douche gels. Extra tip: don’t forget your cleavage, nails, and hair. 

Eat well

You shouldn’t be obsessed to lose weight or anything, but if you want to take extra care and maybe lose a few pounds, there are diet tips that work for anybody. Don’t make the mistake of eating processed or canned food just because you´re too busy with the wedding preparations. Eat fresh food, fruit, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fat, whole grains…Sugar and starch are your enemies do reduce their intake to the minimum. Don’t make it complicated with some exotic food or unfamiliar ingredients. Eat what you normally eat, just avoid the unhealthy stuff like sweets, alcohol, or junk food. Combined with regular exercise it will bring you the best results.                                                                                         

Sleep well and meditate

A good nap is the best thing you can do to rest, so try to avoid using the phone or other devices before going to bed. Sleeping is better than stressing about the wedding preparations and it will give you more energy so you will be able to do more stuff in less time. 

Meditation is a powerful way of finding inner peace and as a beginner, you are not expected to have long sessions but a couple of minutes is good for preparing for the rough day at work. If you start your day with a couple of minutes of meditation sessions, you may lower your stress levels which is beneficial for your health and thus, for your beauty as well.
