PREPARING FOR A BIG EVENT!!!

I’ve reported Ncheaul‘s post on the “SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH” thread. Do not click on the blue link.

Hi Love Bug,

All I can think of right now is: don’t have any facial too close to the big day, it can cause your skin to break out or be a bit ‘unsettled’, which would be a shame on such an occasion.

Make sure you have booked appointments for waxing,nails,facials ,makeup ,eyebrow grooming etc before the wedding.

By event I meant the Glosscars Love Bug I think that where some beauties are heading ? .
I too would like recommendations on products containing Glycolic ,

I have a few treatments I would recommend lol Alpha H’s ultimate perfecting mask or liquid gold are fantastic.
Dr lewinn’s has a excellent range of glycolic treatments, their corrective skin peel is quite good.
Rosehip oil I would recommend Trilogy, Antipodes or Kosmea.
The Ordinary has a decent hyaluronic acid serum which is quite good, just make sure to apply it to damp skin or it can go a little tacky.

Oh and try incorporating some glycolic treatments into your nightly routine, makes a huge difference =) once a week until the skin adjusts then you can build up to every 2-3 nights. Also worth looking into adding some Hyaluronic acid based serums and Rosehip Oil into the daily routine to boost hydration and keep the skin in tip top condition =)

Dermalogica facials are top notch, definitely look into getting one of their treatments done. I would go for the deep cleansing/extraction option a couple of times in the lead up to the big day. I’ve had microdermabrasion treatments as well, they are good. Another option worth looking into =)

I had microdermabrasion done before my wedding and I made sure I exfoliated my whole body in the weeks leading up to it so my skin was smooth. I also used cuticle balm religiously so my hands looked good in the ring photos.

I agree, skincare is important in the lead up! Get some facials done professionally–but get it done at least two weeks before the event so that any reactions/purging that happens settles down prior to the big day.
In terms of exercises to do I love the treadmill, walking and running, I find it to be relaxing, awesome for de-stressing and not too strenuous, easy to find time each day to squeeze in a workout.
Foods..well a little unsure on advice for this one but try to aim for lots of extra fruit/veggies, less junk food/fast food options and try to keep it consistent prior to the big day

Cant really offer any advice about preparing for a wedding as Im not married, but I would say skincare leading up to the big day is very important. Face masks etc to make sure skin is plump and vibrant and a good base for the day. That is usually my focus when attending weddings, going on holidays etc, making sure my skin is its healthiest and glowiest
