Everyone wants to look exceptionally beautiful on
their wedding day including the groom. Unfortunately
getting ready for that big day can be stressful and
can take a toll on even the most beautiful complexion.
The good news is that there are simple things you
can do for yourself before the wedding that will
help relax you and make your skin look great. Here
are a couple of the most frequently asked questions.
Should I do anything special with my skin before
my wedding?
Your skin should definitely look healthy for your
wedding day. This is a time to look radiant, not
made-up. I suggest starting one week prior to the
wedding with a daily routine of cleanse, scrub, tone,
and moisturize. Use a cleanser that is not drying
so you won't create any excessive lines or patchiness.
Use a scrub with micro action to exfoliate dead skin
layers and reveal new healthy skin. Nonalcoholic
toners are best during this routine so you don't
over strip the already exfoliated skin. A moisturizer
that is light should be applied morning and night.
When the day arrives, you will notice that your make
up glides on easily and promotes a healthy glow.
Is it safe to use acids on my face?
There are several types of acids, glycolic, salicylic,
fruits, aha, etc. Acids while in a high percentage,
say 35%, will cause the top most layers of the skin
to "burn" away within minutes. This process
needs to be administered my a licensed professional.
Acids with a lower percentage around 5% are intended
for home use and can be already included in some
skincare products such as moisturizers or serums.
These products are a good source of continual gentle
exfoliation and reveal beautiful new skin within
days.
Is there any help for over dry skin?
Yes, Most skincare products containing hyaluronic
acid will give immediate smoothness and moisture
to rough dry skin surfaces and significantly improve
skin appearance. Hyaluronic acid actually absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere and binds it together
on your skin. Essentially greaseless, the natural
acid will also plump up lines and wrinkles.
