Just find a facial wash or facial foam that works for your skin type, lather it onto your face for an advised 40-60 seconds before washing it out with lukewarm water. Oh, and don’t forget to dry your face by just patting your towel!
DON’T SKIP YOUR TONER
It is important to keep your skin’s pH balance, and a way to ensure this is by using toners. There are different toners for different skin types and problems that need to be addressed, so choose one that is meant for your skin type. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin. Toners also keep excess dirt off your face as this can still be considered as part of your cleansing routine. It is advisable to apply or use your toner however you like it, whether by using cotton pads or your fingers after every time you wash your face.
MOISTURIZE!
One of the most common steps of the skincare routine that almost everyone is familiar with! Moisturizing your skin will ensure that you will not have chapped and dry skin throughout the day. Among the ways, one can do this is by using facial sheets and masks before sleeping. While keeping them on and waiting for the time, this is something fun to do with your bridesmaids too!
Final thoughts
These steps can guide you on what to do to make sure you get your glowing skin ready for your wedding, but the most important thing to still do is to find out your skin type to know what things you should address about your skin and what products you should be using or prioritizing. With skincare, no one size fits all but these are just a few general things that even beginners can try and follow especially on the night before a wedding.
These steps are all important but nothing beats keeping hydrated with water and getting enough beauty sleep. While there are also preparations you can do days or even months before the big day! While preparing, it is of utmost importance that you ensure you are allergic to nothing that will be present on the big day because allergic reactions can vary in intensity. This includes the important metal that you will be wearing for the rest of your life. Make sure that your wedding ring is perfect for you and that you are not allergic to the material it is made of, of course! You can subtly remind your partner about this
Everyone’s wedding is the biggest day for them and all these preparations need to be ensured before the big day and these all may be stressful but it doesn’t mean you can’t still look fabulous and glowing for your wedding day.
