BRIDAL CARE BEFORE ONE YEAR OF MARRIAGE
If you have already started thinking about bridal skincare a year or so before your big day, then congratulations! One-year before the wedding is never too early to start prepping your skin because certain skin conditions such as dry patches, tanning, dark spots, and pigmentation take a long time to treat.
What you should do?
- See a dermatologist
Consult a dermatologist to assessing your skin type and identifying your skin problems.
- Create a skin care regimen
In preparation for the big day, make a plan to address specific skin issues, which must include cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and always remember to wear sunscreen every single day especially if you’re getting married in the summer.
