Skincare for the Bride To Be

As a bride to be, you will want to make sure that your home-based skin treatment is good enough to ensure that you glow and look stunning best on your wedding day. If you think that you have moderate to severe skin problem, then it is best to consult a reputable and experienced Dermatologist or Esthetician. The best way to start professional skin treatment is to begin with a consultation. Stick to the traditional skin treatments and always make a decision only after you have researched for the products or medication over the Internet. Remember whatever treatment you undergo, it is bound to reflect on your face and body. So be careful and make a well thought of choice.

Having understood the basics, it is now time to know everything about healthy blemish-free clear skin that glows with all its confidence. It is never too early to begin a skin care routine to ensure healthy and clear skin even if this means starting a few months before your wedding ceremony.

If you have oily skin, you need to keep a range of products especially formulated for oily skin at hand. Usually women who have oily skin tend to have a drier epidermis but oily inside. Depending on which season you are getting married, have a range of products that can be used during that season to maintain the health of your oily skin.

The ideal routine for oily skin:

• Always use non-greasy creams, lotions etc. Since you already have oily skin, you do not need further lubrication.
• Cleanser :Your cleanser should be gel based. Apply it on your face and neck with soft circular motions and rinse carefully making sure you splash water atleast ten times. In case you are getting married in winter you can use a creamier cleanser as your skin may become dry.
• Toner : Avoid an alcohol-based toner. These toners will dry your skin surface completely while locking the impurities beneath it leading to pimples or even acne. You must never over dry your skin. The best toners for oily skin are those with AHAs.
• Moisturizer : Moisturizing oily skin helps prevent the release of more oil and pimples since dry skin leads to production of oil. A cream that matts the surface of your skin will give you a clean clear and younger looking skin. That is what you would need on your wedding day.
• Foundation : If you want to use a foundation as a base for bridal make-up, just make sure you cleanse your face and neck thoroughly before going to sleep. Try to use only oil-free formulas.
• You can use a make up remover made especially for oily skin type and use a clean cotton ball to wipe away the eye shadow, mascara, lipstick liner etc. You must also use a good quality facial exfoliant to get rid of the grime, dirt and clogged pores. Ideally, you should use an exfoliant only twice a week and concentrate on your 'T' zone (the forehead, nose and chin).

Finally, if you have followed the routine laid out for you and are still affected by skin problems rush to an expert. A dermatologist will be able to offer you better solutions.
