Craft your perfect D-day look with these pre-wedding beauty hacks
Being at your best on your wedding day is extremely important because, in this celebration of love, you will be the center of attention. It is crucial to take care of yourself before the wedding to bring out your inherent beauty. Dr. Blossom Kochhar, chairperson Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies shares some tips to take care of yourself ahead of your D-day.
Prep your skin
Begin your beauty regimen in advance. Consider a skincare routine that focuses on hydration, exfoliation, and nourishment. "Starting early allows time for treatments to take effect, ensuring a radiant complexion on your big day. And if done at regular intervals your makeup will look perfect on your D-day," says Dr. Kochhar. Consider creating a personalized routine after consulting a dermatologist or skincare expert.
Nourishment from within
Beautiful skin starts from within. "Incorporate nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids into meals. Stay hydrated, and consider supplements like collagen for skin elasticity and strength," says the expert. Similarly, engage in a fitness routine that combines cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and flexibility. Regular exercise contributes to weight management while enhancing your overall well-being, giving you that radiant bridal glow.
Practice stress-busting techniques
The pre-wedding period can be stressful. Practice stress-relief techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. Adequate sleep is also crucial for a refreshed complexion, so prioritize rest during this busy time. Sprinkle two-three drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow for sound sleep. If you are nervous, Dr. Kochhar suggests including jasmine oil in your bath or a diffuser to calm yourself.
Focus on hair care and makeup routine
Your hair is your crowning glory, and pre-bridal care is essential. "Regular oil massages, deep conditioning treatments, and trims to eliminate split ends contribute to luscious locks," says Dr. Kochhar. Discuss your wedding hairstyle with your stylist in advance to plan the necessary treatments and adjustments. "Schedule makeup trials with your chosen artist to experiment with looks," adds the expert.
Get body treatments
Pamper your body with spa treatments and exfoliation. "Treat yourself to a full-body scrub to slough off dead skin cells and enhance your skin's natural glow," suggests the expert. Additionally, consider professional massages to relax your muscles and alleviate any pre-wedding tension. You can also get manicures, hand massages, and cuticle care to ensure your hands are soft and beautiful on your wedding day.
