Every woman dreams of herself as the glowing,
beautiful bride on her wedding day. But to achieve this, you
have to devote time to beautify yourself. This process of
rejuvenation has to start off at least 2 months before the
D-day! Sounds tiresome doesn't it? But, wait till you reach the
end of this article and you will know what will keep you
occupied for the whole of two months! We'll take it step by
step.
WEEK I
You have to begin at the beginning. You
are busy running around, getting your trousseau together, your
jewelry ordered and the works. So, this is the time your health
and skin requires a lot of care, if you want to be the glowing
bride of your dreams. Get a routine health check up to know
whether you have any deficiencies like anemia, etc. that sometimes
lead to problematic skin and fatigue that makes you appear dull
and washed out. You will have ample time to correct the
deficiencies and give an impetus to your image and stamina (which
you will require in loads from here on.) Wholesale Diamond Semi Mount white gold cross gold penny lab
Skin care
Running around in the sun exposes your skin to sun rays,
pollution, and these leads to a lot of skin distress. So your
first priority is to protect your skin from these. Take care to
use a good sunscreen lotion or cream, depending on your skin type,
whenever you are going out in the sun. And dont restrict the
protection to just the face, because the rest of your exposed skin
requires due attention too.
Cleanse your face and neck as soon as you
get back and follow up with toning and moisturizing your skin.
Start using one of the herbal packs that are available, or if you
have the resources, make a pack at home and let your skin get the
breathing and pampering it requires. Once a week, use an
exfoliater for your entire body. Pay special attention to your
lips. Give them a gentle massage with fresh cream and then cover
them with either olive oil or petroleum jelly. The knees and
elbows require your attention too. Apply petroleum jelly to them
in the night to keep them soft and clean. videochat roulette usa
Hair Care
First thing is to stop using your hair dryer, as you might need to
use it a lotlater on. You will need it to do up your hair for any
of those unavoidable functions you have after the wedding (You
might be short of time then). This will give your hair the
required break from heat stress, as they will anyway be exposed to
the sun too. Shampoo your hair frequently, do a hot oil massage
before it. Dont use too much of conditioner from the bottle.
Try using a homemade conditioner like vinegar or beer for the last
rinse.
Eyes
Do not neglect them, as they are the mirrors of your soul. Protect
your eyes from the sun by using a good pair of sunglasses. Splash
your eyes with fresh water as many times as possible throughout
the day. At the end of the day remember to soothe your eyes by
covering them with cotton dipped in chilled rose water.
Just relax when you do this. If you have
dark circles under your eyes, and no deficiency is found to be the
cause; then they might be either hereditary; or you are not
getting enough sleep; or your eyes are constantly under strain
from squinting in the sun, in front of the computer or in a room
full of cigarette smoke.
Get your eyes checked for any defects or
increase in power. If nothing comes of it, then make sure you give
up the aforementioned activities that strain your eyes and take
off for your daily beauty sleep, at a regular time and for greater
length of time than you have been doing in the past. These dark
circles are a result of your not getting enough rest.
Make use of the under eye gels available in the market, or go the
natural way, and use chilled tea bags, chilled slices of potato or
cucumber over your eyes. Always be very gentle in massaging the
eye area, as it is very delicate. Use castor oil to massage the
lashes daily, to make them grow thick. payday loans
Hands And Feet
You have to begin with a ritual of soaking your hands and feet in
warm water with vinegar. Use a scrub to clean them and then
moisturize. This should ideally be done at the end of your day.
Diet and Exercise
The most important ingredients of any beauty regime are diet and
exercise. Without them you will never be able to achieve your
dream. Start eating right. Eat lots of fresh fruits and
vegetables. Drink lots of water (8-10 glasses or more since you
are running around) and junk the irresistible fast foods, ice
creams and colas when you are out shopping. Rather carry a bottle
of water and fruit with you, so that you can have them if you are
getting late.
At this time, if you do not follow an
exercise routine already, do start with one that suits you. Every
body needs some kind of exercise, irrespective of the girth of
your waist. If you are a beginner, start with a regime, to which
you will be able to stick to rather than spending hoards of money
on a gym and never going there. Do simple stretching exercises, or
take a morning walk, or if you are interested in yoga, then go
ahead with Pranayam, etc. in the morning. But remember to check
with your doctor if you have a back problem.
Keeping your mind relaxed is also an
important part of your fitness. If you are tensed and exhausted,
then your face and body will definitely reflect it. So, take to
meditation, breathing exercises, or Yoganidra. This will help
train your mind to relax despite the stress of adjustments
demanded by situations, during and after your wedding.
WEEK II
Continue with the above mentioned routine, but some more additions
are needed.
Skin
Get your waxing done in this week so that you still have six weeks
left for the hair to grow back, and only then will the waxing
nearer your wedding day will be of greater use. Since, by this
time the hair growth will be adequate for stubble free waxing and
will also last for a longer time after the wedding. Get a facial
done by a professional beautician.
Hair
Here too, you require to plan what your hairstyle will be on and
after the wedding day. If you prefer a short hairstyle, then this
is the time to go for a trim, so that you can still have time to
change your hairstyle later on if you want to. But if you dont
want a change, your hair will have grown enough to require
trimming nearer the wedding day. This will ensure that you can be
free to enjoy yourself, rather than worry about a trimming soon
after your wedding, for you might not have the time to do so.
Hands And Feet
Go for a professional pedicure and manicure once a week apart from
your daily cleaning routine. This will help you grow your nails
strong and long with professional advice for keeping them so.
Diet and exercise
You should continue with your regime and now you can increase the
tempo, by increasing the amount of time spent on exercising. This
will not only help your body look good but will also increase your
appetite, give your moods an uplift and give you a healthy look.
Do you want to look good just for your wedding day by going to the
parlor and getting all done up? Or do you want the beauty to come
from within and last longer? If the latter is your choice then
remember you have to work hard to get what you want.
WEEK III & WEEK IV
Continue as you have been doing. But, by
now you should start concentrating on your wedding dress, the look
you want and the accessories to o with the dress. If you want a
professional make upon the D-day, you need to look around for a
parlor in your vicinity. Decide on this with care. Find out what
cosmetics they use, what hair product they use and take advice
from somebody who has already used the parlor for such an
occasion. Do not agree to do anything unless you are satisfied
with the kind of input you get from the above mentioned sources.

WEEK V
Once again, go for a professional facial.
If you like and can stretch your budget, you can go in for the
specialized treatments available at the beauty parlors. But
dont over indulge and destroy what you might have achieved,
naturally, in the past four weeks. At this time, you can also take
up Blossom Kochchars special aromatherapy treatment for brides
WEEK VI & VII
These are the weeks when all the
functions before the marriage begin, generally. Do not try to use
the same kind of make up and elaborate dress, which you will be
wearing on your wedding day. This, keeping a lower profile before
your wedding, is to maximize the effect you want to achieve on the
most important day of your life and the days after it.
At this time, you can also use the
age-old recipes for beautifying your body from your Grandma. They
are gems, which one should make use of, as they are tried and
tested from the days when no artificial means were available to
make one beautiful. Just make sure that you arent allergic to
any of the ingredients (whether they are for skin or hair) by
doing a patch test on the inside of your arms. You can also
continue with the pedicure and manicure routine you must have
established by now.
WEEK VIII
The red-letter day is nearing and you
might have butterflies fluttering inside in anticipation of all
that you will experience after your wedding. This also intensifies
your urge to make yourself the most ravishing bride possible. And
surely, if you have kept to the regime, you will achieve it! So
now comes the last few, frenetic days when you have to wrap up all
your things and get ready for the most momentous journey of life.
This week, you get your haircut and
waxing done. Your final facial should be done at least a day
before your wedding because the resulting glow is only apparent a
day after the facial is done. This also reduces the chances of
your face looking puffy from the massage as well as in
time-saving, so that you can devote more time to getting that look
you want and still feel relaxed.
The pedicure and manicure should also be
done a day before. This will ensure that the mehendi applied on
your hands and feet the day before your wedding, gets the required
12 hours to get that desired color. Also you have to be careful
not to wet your hands and feet, as the color of mehendi might
fade. Your hair must also be shampooed, at least, a day before so
that they become much more manageable on the final day.
