How to get flawless skin for your wedding day

How to get flawless skin for your wedding day

Our favourite time of year is upon us, wedding season! We just adore diving into a world of ivory, lace, embellishment and rose petals. For you who have their big day fast approaching, first of all, Congratulations! And second of all, breath…. It’ll all work out perfectly, and we all know what happens when we get stressed, our skin is the first to suffer!

So, it was this in mind that we wanted to share some tips on how to get flawless skin ready for your wedding day!

1. Work on the inside first

Your face is usually a tell-tale sign of what is happening on the inside! Depending on where you get your blemishes is showing you which organ or area is in need of help or some TLC. For example, spots on the cheeks link to lungs and respiratory. Spots on the forehead are linked to liver, so in other words, that last cocktail that tipped you over the edge Saturday has come back to haunt you in blemish form!

Use this as to your advantage and focus on ensuring that whatever you are putting into your body will benefit your skin! Cut back on alcohol and smoking, up the vegetables and multivitamins, you won’t necessarily see a huge difference to begin with, however, three weeks later, if you find you are particularly blemish-prone, your skin will become a lot clearer and glowing!

2. Exercise

It does seem like a bit of a cliché that you should start exercising before your wedding. However, this tip has nothing to do with fitting into your wedding dress, instead, we are talking about how exercising can work wonders for your skin!

Thinking about it, the more active you are, the more oxygen is taken into the body and delivered to the blood cells. This results in your skin looking radiant, in some cases even plumped and fine lines looking less visible!

Now, we aren’t expecting you to become some crazed marathon runner, but with countless videos on YouTube and Instagram, it has never been easier to exercise in the comfort of your own home! 30 minutes a day will transform your skin and your mindset! So, get planking!

3. New additions to your skincare

It is very tempting to try that one product you have seen everywhere, claiming to deliver outstanding results, the temptation can become a little too much, and we aren’t here to stop you, the only advice we would give is to try the product out 6 weeks before the big day! That gives you enough time to give it a test run and if your skin happens to not enjoy using it there is still enough time for it to completely calm down and restore itself again.

4. Add on facials

Considering the point that has been mentioned previously, mixing up your skincare routine may not be the best idea in the world, however, adding in some pampering facials could be exactly what your skin is craving!

Depending on your budget etc it’s an idea to book in at least one bespoke facial before the big day, usually, a couple of days before for your skin to look incredibly radiant!

Your therapist will be able to cater the facial to you and your skin and help restore balance and leave the skin rejuvenated. Not to mention just how relaxing it is! Choose a therapist you have worked with before and that you are comfortable with to have the peace of mind this treatment will benefit your skin and not have any unwanted reaction!

5. Keep things simple

If you have found that reading these tips have left you thinking “I don’t even have a skincare routine” Then perhaps now is the time to include something to give your skin a helping hand at looking it’s best. No need to go into this idea with all guns blazing, keeping things simple like adding a scrub or facemask.

Our Activated Charcoal Purifying Detox Mask is a great treatment that will clear the skin of any toxins, impurities and any pollution your skin has picked up throughout the day! With this mask only needing 10 minutes to work its magic, it’ll be an easy addition to you if you haven’t really had a routine previously, but wanted some extra glow for your wedding day!

6. Beauty sleep

We seem to go on about beauty sleep a lot, but we really can’t get enough of those beauty restoring zzz’s. There is also an added benefit of the way you sleep that can help with under eye bags!

Yes, laying on your back means you can reduce the appearance of those loathed bags as gravity will stop any fluid and blood flowing it’s way to your eye area and so meaning the size of the under bags will go down and dark circles will become lighter.

Don’t believe us? Give it a try for yourself!

7. Finding the right makeup artist

Wedding makeup means big business and it can feel overwhelming with the amount of choice of makeup artists out there. One point to remember is to take your time, there is never any rush to find a makeup artist and have as many trials you can afford. Your bridal makeup is something that you will remember forever, so no need to rush anything and go with someone who you trust and who completely understands the brief you shared.

8. Smile

This last tip may come with an eye roll from some of you. But there is nothing worse than a grumpy bride! If you think about it, you’ve spent a small fortune on the day and the photographer, to have them capture you looking a little glum… So, our final tip is to smile, and smile until your cheeks ache! That in itself will make you look flawless and simply stunning!

Hope you find these tips a little help in preparation to the big day! And from all of us at Procoal, best of luck for the future!

DQH Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? It’s easy to create a skincare routine, but knowing how to use it is another thing entirely. In most cases, if you’re not getting the desired skin results, it could be due to the layering of conflicting ingredients. So, is it possible that salicylic acid and vitamin C are such ingredients? Or are these active ingredients the duo that’s been missing from your skincare routine? If you want answers, stick around because today we are going to explain the benefits of salicylic acid and vitamin C and how they can be used in your daily life. What are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin? Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used beta hydroxy acids and is favored by many people with oily, acne-prone skin. This acid is derived from willow bark, and unlike its water-soluble relatives (called alpha-hydroxy acids), salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin. Once it reaches the lower layers, it can help unclog pores of excess sebum, dirt, bacteria, debris, and impurities. This results in clearer skin tones and greater definition. Not only does salicylic acid benefit the underlying layers, but the outer surface of the skin benefits as well. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid removes the buildup of dead skin cells. This is accomplished by breaking the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface. Over time, this can cause the complexion to look dull and prone to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes. If you’d like to learn more about salicylic acid and how it can improve your skin, check out this dedicated blog post from a beauty insider. What are the benefits of vitamin C for skin? Vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, which means it is very effective at fighting free radicals and preventing them from causing further skin damage. Examples of free radicals include pollution, central heating, UV rays and harsh climate. They attack proteins, fats and cell membranes as soon as they come into contact with the skin, causing signs of premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, flaky patches of skin and loss of elasticity. Many people usually prefer to use vitamin C in their morning routine as this ingredient gives the complexion a radiant glow. You’ll also find that vitamin C can target areas of hyperpigmentation, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The thing about vitamin C is that there are a lot of outdated studies going back to the 1950s that describe vitamin C as an unstable skin component. Thanks to improvements in modern technology, this is no longer the case as all products now contain a stable form of vitamin C. Visit The Beauty Insider to learn more about vitamin C. So please check out our blog post. Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, it’s thought that using salicylic acid before using vitamin C ensures it penetrates faster and works faster. This is an efficient way to utilize two power sources, and the reason has to do with pH. For example, the skin’s natural pH is about 4.7, making it slightly acidic. Salicylic acid and vitamin C are also both acidic, and you’ll find that vitamin C is absorbed quickly into the skin. Therefore, using salicylic acid beforehand can increase the acidity of the skin and allow vitamin C to penetrate into the skin faster. While this is considered an effective way to combine two powerful ingredients, you need to be aware of your skin type and how it reacts to certain active ingredients. Even people with perfect, normal skin can experience skin sensitivity and irritation. Therefore, always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any new products on your skin. It’s also important to follow skin application rules. In this case, you need to use the product correctly to ensure you get the best results for your skin. If you’re not sure what I mean, the basic rule for skin is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest consistency. This prevents a barrier from forming on the surface, preventing other active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Can I use salicylic acid at night and vitamin C in the morning? Yes, absolutely, this is considered the most effective way to get returns without any adverse side effects. This is because there is enough time between applications to ensure that the skin’s pH levels return to balance. You’ll also find that Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and is perfect for use in the morning to ensure your skin is protected and looking its healthiest. Due to the small size of salicylic acid molecules, it is an acid that is able to reach the deepest parts of the skin. While this is effective at keeping skin clear, it also increases the risk of irritation and photosensitivity. Therefore, many people prefer to use powerful BHAs in their evening routine without exposure to UV rays, pollution, or harsh weather. Warning: If you avoid using sunscreen every day, none of these ingredients will do what your skin needs. The combination of chemical peels and powerful ingredients increases the risk of further damage to the skin’s surface. Use SPF 50 every day to keep your skin protected and your lipid barrier healthy, even on cloudy days, keeping your skin in top condition.
