We know, we know. You probably have a million other things on your mind when it comes to planning a wedding, such as the location, the trousseau, the caterer, etc. However, the bridal skin care routine requires your undivided attention before you start on everything else. Because even if everything else finally falls into place, achieving your natural, perfect complexion takes time. Not to mention the stress of getting married during the monsoons, which can make your skin problems even worse and will possibly turn you into Bridezilla!
Fret not. Our simple-to-follow bridal skincare guide will help you achieve the intended goals while giving you the enviable bridal glow.
Stress-Free Beauty Tips For A Stunning D-Day Entrance
Don’t Skimp On Your CTM Routine
Now that you’ve completed all the important skin treatments, it’s time to start with the basics. To fight the monsoon skin madness, follow the cleansing, toning, and moisturising regimen for radiant skin in 10 days. It is a big no-no to avoid a toner because it helps to tighten the pores and controls the production of sebum.

Focus On The Actives
As big fans of products with active ingredients, we can’t recommend these enough. Include serums and essences enriched with Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, and retinol, which work tirelessly to lighten pigmentation, fine wrinkles, and dark spots while also hydrating and brightening the skin.
Choose Water-Based Makeup
While you may insist on using foundation on the daily, monsoon might not be the best time to do so. Instead, choose a CC or BB cream with a liquid or water-based formulation, which will guarantee a tidy, matte finish. To help you perfectly set your makeup, you can top it off with an oil-absorbing powder.
Oil Control 101
The increase in oil secretion from your pores during the monsoons might make you fairly irritable. Take control and ensure that you wash your face at least three to four times daily. Use a mild moisturiser to keep your skin smooth and healthy-looking.
Bag That Sunscreen
Don’t forget that the Indian monsoons are a combination of summer and rain. Sunburns are not what will make you attractive as a future bride. So, never leave the house without wearing sunglasses and a thick layer of SPF 30+ sunscreen that is appropriate for your skin type.

Pamper Your Nails & Feet
Wouldn’t you just shudder at the sight of brittle and flaky nails showing through your sparkling footwear? To keep your feet and nails in prime condition, make some time and pamper ’em well.
Pay Attention To Your Diet
Cutting out salt, dairy, sugar, bread, and fatty foods is essential for a flawless bridal glow that will result in radiant skin. Instead, stock up on vitamin and mineral-rich fresh fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens, which promote cell turnover and keep your skin supple. Snack on nuts and dry fruits like walnuts between meals to enhance collagen production and fend off UV damage.
Sleep Well
Even though you might want to dream about your wedding all night, it won’t do much to reduce your under-eye bags. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night to look gorgeous before your big day.
