Glow From The Inside Out On Your Wedding Day

In the interest of looking your most beautiful on your wedding day, there’s much more to consider than just your gown, makeup or hairstyling. To truly glow from the inside out, you must feel your most beautiful from the inside out, with preparations set in place in the days, weeks, and months ahead of your big day.

Although a tale as old as time, drinking water is essential, and whilst you’re prioritising your hydration, its also beneficial to consider infusing your glass of h20 with skin-boosting ingredients like cucumber, lemon, or mint. Collectively, these ingredients hydrate, refresh your skin, reduce redness and puffiness, all whilst promoting a healthy glow and complication. Why stop there? Infuse your water with skin-loving foods like watermelon, celery and avocados to further boost hydration and remember to aim for at least eight glasses per day, particularly in the days leading up to your wedding.

Sleep is your body’s natural repair system, and the importance of beauty sleep cannot be overstated. Prioritise your shuteye and ensure you’re clocking seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night in the lead up to your wedding, and if you find yourself prone to anxiety, excitement, or prewedding jitters, there are a few little tricks you can implement into your routine. Introduce a nightly chamomile tea ritual, spray lavender essential oil on your pillow, and add luxurious lavender scented lotion, moisturiser or bodywash to promote relaxation, and help you wind down for a great night’s sleep.

Another self-care activity to add to your evening ritual a couple times a week is a full body exfoliation. Dry brushing, done gently before you shower, helps to remove dead skin cells, boosts circulation, and can even minimise the appearance of cellulite. A soft exfoliating scrub can also help to keep your skin silky and radiant and remember to follow up with a nourishing lotion to lock in moisture for glowing skin.

With a plethora of remedies and rituals to consider, its also important to practise mindful stress management, protect your skin barrier with regular moisturisation and sunscreen, practise proper posture, daily scalp massages and confidence boosting selflove practices ahead of your upcoming wedding day. Looking beautiful isn’t surface deep, its about taking care of your mind, body and soul to ensure you glow in every way possible!
