Expert tips for brides-to-be to keep your skin looking flawless on the big day.
With wedding season in full swing, many people are wondering how to show off clear skin on their big day. Don’t panic, the pros share their best tips. The British edition of the magazine “Stylist” asked dermatologists and the prescription was issued. Here are three tips to keep in mind.
First tip: Get rid of stress
The first thing you need to do, according to Dr. Pippa, with an interview for an English magazine, is to relax the skin. And for good reason, it turns the organization that wedding represents upside down. In fact, all this stress has harmful consequences for your body and your skin. The result? This can produce excess oil, acne and sometimes even eczema or psoriasis. Then adopt anti-stress methods: sports in general will do you good – if you don’t do sports, take a brisk walk for an hour every day – but also relaxation activities such as yoga, pilates and of course meditation. These daily practices will lower your cortisol (stress hormone) levels and increase your endorphins (happy hormone). Enough to improve your mind and the condition of your skin.
If you experience any symptoms, do not hesitate to make an appointment with your doctor.

Tip 2: Add vitamin C to your routine
Vitamin C has many benefits for the skin. Its main function is to add shine. Its antioxidant properties also allow it to act on skin inflammations with various consequences: redness, spots, dryness. Don’t hesitate and exfoliate your skin regularly with a brightening scrub that will get rid of dead skin and at the same time promote your natural glow. Be careful, however, to hydrate it well afterwards and not to exaggerate the scrub with the risk of skin irritation.
Third tip: book a professional treatment
The last piece of advice and not least: treat yourself to a dermatologist or facial specialist a week before the wedding. Whether it’s a hydrafacial (a device that cleanses and hydrates), radiofrequency (heat that tightens your face), peels (chemical peels) or LED-based treatments (for dull skin), they’re all designed to combat the effects of stress on your face and give it a boost before the big day. These professionals will be able to choose the treatment that best suits your skin.
