Here are my top tips for brides in the lead up to the big day:
1) Drink plenty of water throughout the day. You wouldn’t believe the difference it makes when you are hydrated. Reduced fine lines around the eye area and generally healthier, glowing skin.
2) Increase fresh fruit and vegetable intake in the weeks leading up to the wedding to give your body the best chance of coping with the additional stress.
3) Good skin care routine. Invest in both an eye and night cream and gentle exfoliater. They don’t have to be anything particularly expensive. I find Nivea’s range to be one of my favourites on the high street, and for under £10.
4) Consider preparing for the big day (when you want to look your best) as an excellent opportunity to stop smoking. This will not only make you feel better, but will also quickly improve blood circulation and therefore the appearance of your skin.
5) Exercise. This does not necessarily mean gym time. A brisk walk, enough to get your heart rate up and blood pumping, will also help you relax and sleep better. Make a date with a friend or family member, and make it an excuse to catch up!
6) Last, but definitely not least, is sleep. We all need different amounts, but if you consistently wake up tired, you need more. Avoid caffeine three-four hours before sleep, switch off all electronic devices, and relax by picking up a book (best to maybe steer clear from bridal magazines at this time of the day!).
