14 days before your wedding
- If you're going to have a reaction to a product or a treatment, you don't want it to happen on your wedding day so be sure to maintain your regular skin cleansing and moisturizing treatments.
- Add exfoliation treatments to your routine, paying special attention to exfoliants for your feet, hands, elbows and even your lips. And, if you have a backless dress, pay some attention to the skin there to ensure it is blemish free and moisturized with Olay's ‘ White Radiance UV Day Lightening Lotion' .
- Take extra care to drink plenty of water, eat well, get plenty of sleep and rest, and reduce stress. You don't want breakouts before your wedding day.
- That also goes for your pre-wedding hair trim, colouring or highlighting. You've already decided on your style, length and colour so don't tempt fate by ‘trying' anything new or extreme now. Play with beauty possibilities, like false eyelashes, to get the hang of them.
- You don't want a stray caterpillar in your face part way through the ceremony. Maintain your fitness and stress relief routines. Confirm all of your wedding day beauty appointments. If a mistake has been made, it will be easier to find other experts two weeks out.
7 days and counting
- Get your eyebrows shaped and your bikini, underarms and upper lip waxed, if that's your routine. 1 week advance time on these treatments is usually enough to ensure smoothness without redness, and bumps can be treated before the wedding day.
- Get a facial or mask application. Drink plenty of water, and limit your salt intake to avoid weight gain or bloating.
- Have your nails done for pre-wedding parties, surprises and gatherings. While you're at it, maybe opt for a massage to soothe those tense muscles! And most importantly, just enjoy the ride for it's one you'll never take again (hopefully!).
