1. SPF PRODUCT
Protection from the sun is the best anti-ageing treatment, and the last thing you want is to get burnt on your wedding day! if you’re having an outdoor wedding or you have chosen some beautiful locations for your photos, make sure you apply a layer of sunscreen in the morning. Even though your wedding makeup will provide some sort of barrier, you’re best off choosing a face sunscreen to protect you from those UVA and UVB rays. Look for a product with nourishing ingredients such as aloe or hyaluronic acid to give you glowing wedding skin!

3. HYDRATING MIST
This is one of the easiest ways to deliver hydration to your face, anytime of the day. Pick one that can go under and over your makeup. Under your makeup, it can be used as a primer and serum, while throughout the day you can spritz your face to keep any dryness or flaky skin at bay. If you can find one that doubles as a brightening mist, even better! Look for ingredients such as grape extract and kiwi for a healthy glow!

4. EYE MASK
The skin under your eyes is one of the most sensitive and thinnest parts of the body. Thats why it is so quick to react to any sign of tiredness or stress. It’s important to use the right amount of nourishment, if you use products that are too rich for such a sensitive area, you can get what are called ‘milia’; those little white bumps that form under your eye. Using products specifically designed for that area will ensure you get enough hydration without overdoing it. Look for something with a high water content, as that will treat any inflammation or ‘bags’.

5. EXFOLIATOR
It’s important to get rid of any flaky skin to ensure your makeup goes on flawlessly. A physical scrub can irritate sensitive skin and cause a rash or redness. It can sometimes be best to use a liquid exfoliator to reduce the risk of causing any irritations. You might feel a tingling sensation, but that’s perfectly normal! Look for something with salicylic acid or a natural alternative of willow bark to exfoliate and soothe the skin.

6. HYDRATING SERUM
This is a vital step in any skincare routine that ensures you get enough moisture into your skin to keep it plump and nourished. Because it is one of the thinnest products, this should be your first step after your cleanser. This can be layered if you’re feeling particularly dry in the lead up to your wedding. Test the consistency on the back of your hand. A tacky finish can be great for a flawless foundation application, or alternatively, a product that absorbs immediately will help you start with a clean and fresh base. Look for a serum that contains minimal alcohol so that it doesn’t dry you out further!
