DIY Wedding Skincare Routine to Get that Bridal Glow Naturally

If you are a bride-to-be, no one knows the importance of glowing, flawless skin as much as you do! While we don’t deny the vital role a makeup artist plays in making you look gorgeous on your big day, there is simply no match to the confidence one exudes from healthy, radiant skin. Because, honestly, why leave everything up to your makeup artist, eh? 

So let us take a step backward. Good skin gives the artist a more malleable canvas to work with, agreed? What we gather from watching millions of Instagram reels and YouTube wedding skincare tutorials is that the bridal skincare routine can be very daunting amidst all the wedding planning, especially finding out what works best for your skin. Well, we have cracked the code to get you radiant and healthy skin right at home, with only a few minutes to spare from your busy-busy day ahead. The best part about these DIY wedding skincare routine tips is that they can assist you with good bridal skincare even after your special day and they are totally doable. After all, you won’t be living and breathing makeup every second of your life like they show in soap operas these days! 

1) Start Well In Advance With The Vitamin C 

It is a gradual process to radiant skin and will not be achieved a fortnight in advance. When it comes to bridal skincare, the earlier you start, the more you will discover about your skin – what works with your skin and what will make it look perfect for your wedding day. We suggest you start with a good source of vitamin C. This helps you achieve that natural glow and makes your skin healthy and clears out blemishes. You can whip one at home using dried orange peels, ground to a fine powder. There are many serums containing vitamin C that can be used in your wedding skincare regime daily. We suggest finding the product that works best with your skin and making it a habit to apply this serum daily.  

2) Apply Homemade Natural Masks 

We’ve grown up with our grandmas’ constantly reminding us of the healing properties of haldi and besan for the skin. Using these two with a little milk or rosewater will help de-tan, clear, and moisturize your skin at home. No need to pay for expensive facials when you have this piece of skin knowledge. For those with oily skin, we suggest a lemon and yogurt mask. There are countless homemade masks readily available to you online. But remember to always try these well in advance.  

3) Apply A Good Moisturizer and Sunscreen 

This may not be a homemade recipe but discovering the perfect sunscreen and moisturizer for your skin is vital. It is a little daily pampering for the skin. Moisturizers will keep your skin supple and hydrated while sunscreen will protect you from the harsh effects of UV rays. Establish a good bridal skincare routine and you will see an instant change in your skin. Some natural moisturizers include honey and bananas. Making a paste of these two for your skin will help you achieve nourished and happy skin.  

4) Get 8 Hours Of Sleep Daily! 

Sleep helps the muscles in the skin and body to relax. Good sleep will make your skin glow, get rid of dark circles, and leave you feeling healthy and energetic. It may be difficult to sleep closer to your wedding day. Establishing a sleep routine months before you get married helps because your body gets used to a sleeping pattern and you will doze off to sleep at the time you have set for yourself.  

5) Keeping Your Skin Clean 

Cleanups will rid your skin of dry, dull, and dead skin cells, as well as other impurities like blackheads and whiteheads. A good scrub made from ground walnut shells or coffee used every day will wash all these away gradually. Steam also helps clear out blackheads and whiteheads easily. Egg-white peel-off masks help you shed all these impurities.  

6) Take Care Of Your Hands 

Your hands are also a point of focus on your wedding day. You need clean well-polished nails, vibrant skin, and soft skin. Preparing a mask of honey, turmeric, and besan for your hands, moisturizing them, and shaping your nails every day will make your hands look beautiful and your hubby will never want to leave your hand during your ceremony.  

7) Drinking At least 8-12 Glasses of Water Daily 

If your body is clean from the inside, your skin will naturally glow! Drinking water will not only help you flush out toxins but will also help with weight loss. Keeping yourself well hydrated is an act one must learn. For a bride with all the stress that comes along with planning a wedding, hydration will keep her healthy and radiant. Carrying a bottle of water along with you everywhere you go is a good habit that everyone must follow. 

8) Scrub Your Body Twice A Week 

We’ve taken care of the skin on your face now let’s move to the body. Using coffee grounds to exfoliate once or twice a week will help lessen the impression of stretch marks especially if you are losing weight before your big day. Making this a habit will ensure gorgeous skin before your wedding day. Make your husband drool when he sees you in your wedding attire flaunting flawless skin.   

9) Map Out A Healthy Diet 

Many brides-to-be start wedding planning with diets and the goal to fit into their dream wedding ensemble. But be very careful when crash dieting. Mapping out a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, and loads of green tea will help you lose your desired weight and also adds the Midas touch to your skin and body. Including multivitamins in your dietary intake like vitamin E, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc will make your skin radiant. 

10) Do Not Try New Products A Month In Advance 

Four weeks to the wedding is not the time to try anything new. So whatever list of DIY Skin Care tips you want to try, however tempting it may be, start at least three months in advance. Your skin is a delicate being, do not let it down. 

Last but not least – Don’t let the wedding planning stress get you! For real. If you are constantly stressed about the smallest of things, it will appear on your face. A good idea is to not leave everything for the last moment.
