The Winter Glow Guide
Hey Gorgeous Brides,
So cold weather is here and even though your wedding may be months down the road this is the time to pamper and address your skin care concerns.
I’m looking out for you with five super easy steps to keep you looking fresh, hydrated, and all-around stunning on your big day.
Step 1: Moisture Magic Let's kick things off with a hydrating cleanser. Say goodbye to that winter dryness without stripping away the good stuff. Follow up with a toner that's soothing– the perfect prep for your serum. What you use in the summer may not be the right product as the season change.
Step 2: Butter Up with Moisturizers. Winter calls for some serious moisturizing. Explore options with moisturizes highlighting hydration or hylauronic acid. Go for a moisturizer with rich oils. Thicker creams are perfect for the winter and help to seal in moisture and protect the skin.
Step 3: Gently Exfoliate to scrub away the dullness and smooth out your skins texture. Use it once or twice a week. The finer grit the better. You can go the physical or chemical exfoliant route. In simple terms a scrub, peel, or treatment serum like glycolic, retinol or vitamin C… This step ensures your makeup goes on smooth on your wedding day but also it gives the skin that fresh overall look.
Step 4: Skincare isn't just about what you put on your face – it's also what you eat and drink. Sip on way more water. Double your intake (safely). Most people are dehydrated.
Next, load up on antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3s. Whole Foods! Take your vitamins! Your skin will thank you, and you'll be glowing from the inside out. My skin was it’s clearest in high school when I worked at a water park. They hammered us to stay hydrated. There was a visible difference.
Step 5: Sunscreen is necessary for all seasons and all skin tones. Use SPF daily to preserve your hard work and efforts.
So, there you have it – five steps to help you get started. There’s no right brand or price tag but if you have questions or need guidance in choosing the right product for your skin feel free to message me.
