Every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day. Unfortunately, the stress that comes with all that planning is bound to take its toll. Spa treatments can really help halt the effects of stress and help brides feel that much more relaxed and beautiful for their special day. Here are some important beauty tips to keep in mind when it comes to your pre-wedding beauty routine.
Facials
Your face is often the first to show signs of stress. The best solution is to opt for the appropriate facial treatment. There are different types of facials for different types of skin, and there are even facials that are designed to target specific problems. It’s best to book a trial facial several months before your big day. This way you can make sure that you get the results you desire and that your skin does not experience any reactions to the products used.
Wax
From your eyebrows to your legs, hair removal is another important part of any bride’s beauty routine. It’s best not to wax on the day but rather a day or two prior to your wedding. Remember to always exfoliate before waxing and apply sun protection to the newly waxed areas for the next few days at least.
Tan
That perfect bronze look is very much desired by brides. If you’re not a fan of spending hours in a sunbed or in the sun itself, you can choose a sunless spray tan instead! Just like facials, it’s good to try this treatment several months before the big day. It’s good to book your wedding day tan for two days prior to the wedding. This is because the tan takes 10 hours or so to completely develop which means that you don’t want to slip on your white wedding dress too soon! Also, as tempting as it might be to ask for a dark tan, try a glow instead so that your skin still has that natural look.
Scrubs and wraps
Slimming down and reducing cellulite are two important treatments for women, and they are particularly important for brides. Remember, it’s not just about looking good in your dress but also your wedding night! Wraps help you slim down and reduce the appearance of cellulite while scrubs give you a wonderful glow. Depending on the type of treatment you choose, you will need to set up a schedule with the technicians that work for you. If you are planning to schedule a spray tan, you should go for your scrub first.
Teeth whitening
There are some teeth whitening products available if you’d like to do it yourself. Of course, if you prefer, and if your budget allows, you can have them professionally done. This treatment does not take long and can be done in advance.
Massage
When you are stressed, your muscles will also tense up, and the best way of relieving this tension is by booking a relaxing massage. In fact, you can make a day of it by booking massages for your bridesmaids too? Remember to communicate with your massage therapist to explain any medical issues and specific problem areas.
Hair, makeup, and nails
Hair and makeup trials are great for making sure that the professional you have chosen is up for the task. Your nails should be done about one day before or even on the day of your wedding. This will help reduce the risk of damage and ensure that you look your best!
