Who doesn’t want a flawless and glowy skin texture on their D-day? Well, like other wedding details, preparing your skin requires a lot of planning and care beginning months in advance. By making a few simple changes to your current beauty routine, you set yourself up for radiant, healthy-looking, glowing skin on your big day.
General thumb rule is - If your skin generally behaves itself well and you’re mainly hoping to look more glowy on your wedding day, start three months in advance to prep your skin for the big day. If you need help in fixing a skin condition, such as acne, we would definitely recommend a period of six months as the minimum.

Stress less
Easier said than done but keeping a lid on any pre-wedding woes is key to a healthy complexion. A calmer mind leads to calmer skin. Inflammatory conditions such as eczema can flare up with high stress levels, while sleepless nights will mean dull, lacklustre skin.

You can opt for treatments like peels, microdermabrasion, photofacial, etc. that aid in smoother and brighter appearance of the skin.
