There is something about a bride-to-be that sets her apart from all the ladies in the house. She seems radiant. And other than her own charm and enthusiasm, it is the effect of the right beauty treatment at the right time.
It is imperative to make time for a disciplined beauty routine to make sure that the result of any treatment you undergo, as per your skin’s personal requirement, lasts longer. Moreover, the time just before your wedding is the perfect time to consciously inculcate some healthy habits into your lifestyle, so that you continue to wow everyone even after the big day.

Finding a suitable skin expert
One thing that you must understand is that meeting a suitable skin expert, preferably a dermatologist, is as important as finding an outstanding makeup artist. While makeup does highlight the best of your features and conceals the problem areas, yet the condition of your skin needs to be nearly perfect. There are a lot of salons that offer equally attractive makeup and beauty services. But it is your prerogative to ascertain that they understand your skin concerns and have the right solutions for it. Additionally, check out what hair treatment do they offer, to make a planned decision and suitable schedule for all your beauty and hair services.
Timing is Crucial
Starting early to fix any kind of skin issue is definitely a smart move. Ideally, you should not leave any of your concerns to the last minute. “Any beauty treatment that you're trying for the first time should be done a minimum of two weeks before your wedding day to give any unexpected reactions or irritations time to fade,” warns Pooja Goel, Make-up Expert and Director, Khoobsurat Make up Salon & Spa Academy.

Pampering yourself with the right kind of treatments do have its benefits in the long run as well. Goel advises brides-to-be to “start getting monthly facials from at least six months before the wedding.” She adds, “if you have less time left in hand, opt for a bi-weekly gold facial.”
Spot-on Treatments
As a soon-to-be bride, you need to be aware of the treatments that’ll help you waltz to your beauty goal. Instead of getting waxed every now and then, you can consider “full body laser hair removal, a must for all brides-to-be,” as Goel puts it.
The significance of the right intake and sufficient activity can never be stressed enough. Even the beauty expert suggests you to “follow a regular, healthy diet” to prolong the effect of any beauty treatment. “Try to get in cardio and yoga thrice a week,” she adds.

Naming a few effective treatments, she says, “Indulge in vitamin C brightening treatments every two weeks, followed by the Clear Lift laser to target pigmentation and fine lines. For your body, go for Nomelan Phenol Peel, followed by full body polishing.”
This is also a time when you should consider a bit of makeover for yourself. You can go for hair colour or hair extensions and even teeth whitening. Make sure whatever you choose to do, you plan it in advance. Goel strongly advises that you “don’t shock your skin; avoid any new treatment from ten days before the wedding.”
The Ideal Beauty Routine
Develop and maintain a few good habits for your skin, to make sure you look no less than a dream on your big day. Goel instructs, “Cleanse, tone, target, and moisturize every morning and night—and don’t forget to exfoliate two or three times a week.”

Health and beauty go hand in hand. You can’t have a flawless skin without healthy intake. Thus, she suggests that “you must drink enough water to keep your body toxin-free. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water. And you must eat a balanced diet consisting of fruits, green vegetables, and other sources of protein.”
During The Functions
We love our pompous weddings, which often last nearly for a week. But this is also a time when the chance of your beauty rituals getting sidelined is high. Thus, make sure that your skin gets the attention it deserves. Goel offers some easy tips— “keep blotting papers handy to get rid of excess makeup and oil, don't keep touching your face, use a salt scrub to soften elbows on the day of the wedding and use SPF on your lips, face and body.” It is a great idea to keep your basic toiletry handy, maybe in a vanity box, and use it as and when you feel the need.

Making It Last Long
After you get married, keep extending your new-bride glow for as long as you can by continuing to follow the “intensive pre-wedding skincare regime,” to put it in Goel’s words. “Additionally, avoid the sun, don’t skip your facials, wear a sunscreen always, keep yourself hydrated, have a regular sleep schedule, go easy on the makeup and avoid alcohol” she says. “When all the wedding madness is over, give yourself and your skin a well-deserved break—keep skin make-up free, do a health detox and get as much sleep as you can,” she sums up.

Be A Diva
To look ravishing in all your post-wedding appearances, top your beauty game with some make up, Pooja Goel, Make-up Expert and Director, Khoobsurat Make up Salon & Spa Academy, tells you how?
“Invest in good quality waterproof makeup essentials, particularly foundation and primers. This season matte finish makeup ruled the runway, hence it’ll be a hit in the party season as well. Whether you choose a foundation, BB Cream, a primer or a lip colour, opt for matte finish. Flaunt winged eyeliner with smudged edges, ditch your kohl pencils for a while, as it’s in trend. As, far as eyeliners are concerned, take your pick from pastel colours.”
Here’s hoping that when you walk down the aisle, it appears as if the heavens have descended and your bridal beauty captivates everyone. All the best!
