Planning a trip down the aisle this summer? Say “I do” to these bridal beauty tips that are guaranteed to have you glowing in time for your big day.

Plan Ahead

Don’t leave how you look on the most important day of your life ‘til the last minute. Schedule consultations with an esthetician, makeup artist, and hairstylist as early as six months in advance and find ones who specialize in your specific beauty concerns (breakouts, kinky hair, etc.). Be sure to bring along photos from magazines, Pinterest, and Instagram to show them exactly the kind of look you’re going for.

Regular Routine

Once you’ve settled on your ultimate bridal style, it’s time to kickstart your beauty regimen into high gear (remember, visible changes in your skin won’t happen overnight). A hydrating skin serum containing hyaluronic acid and a solid sunscreen routine will be your secret weapons in attaining a healthy, radiant complexion.

Quick Fixes

Thinking of freshening up your appearance with Botox, Juvederm, or other cosmeceutical? You’ll want to see your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon at least a month in advance, so any swelling you might encounter will have plenty of time to settle. Same goes for waxing sessions, which should be scheduled a week ahead of your walk down the aisle (and remember, no retinol products for at least five days prior to your appointment).

Take a Little Time

The stress of planning a wedding can take a serious toll on your skin, so it’s important to find ways that let you relax and unwind. Hit the yoga studio, get a massage or facial, or slide into a warm aromatherapy bath. Eating right and drinking at least a liter of water a day is also essential. Make sure your diet includes plenty of antioxidant-rich leafy greens and veggies and foods containing skin-healthy fats like nuts, salmon, and avocados.

Do a Trial Run

One of the most frustrating feelings a bride can have on her wedding day is not looking like herself, so scheduling a trial run with your makeup artist before your big day is a must. Come to the appointment with as close to the same skin tone as you’ll have on your wedding day (especially if you plan on getting a spray tan), wear white clothing, and take plenty of pictures to see just how your makeup reads on camera.

The Final Countdown

With one week to go before your wedding day, avoid putting your skin through too much turmoil. That means no booking a facial with extractions and no picking at blemishes (it’s much easier to cover a pimple than a scab!), no matter how tempting. Now is also the time to give chapped lips a good exfoliation.

Enjoy Yourself!

Remember what the day is all about. Savor and celebrate the moment and you’ll radiate love, beauty, and happiness.
