Every bride is on a quest to look her best on her wedding day. Once the wedding details are finalised, you can focus on yourself and start to pamper and prep for that special day. To ensure you are looking your absolute best and brightest, avoid these alluring traps in the weeks before your big day.

Flake It…
In the quest for eternal youth, microdermabrasion may seem particularly attractive. Remember, the process involves removing the top layer of your skin so the few days after may have small side effects. We recommend heading to a dermatologist a few months in advance to avoid flaking skin, redness and dry patches on the big day.

Goldilocks…
Some brides like to freshen up their look before their summer nuptials. When colouring hair, it’s important to remember a few things. Firstly, the colour takes a few weeks to settle to be sure to give yourself plenty of time. It’s also crucial not to try anything drastic. Stick to what you know will suit you and a hairdresser you have worked with before if you can.

New Hair, Who’s This…
Similar to changing up your colour, your hairstyle is not something to mess around with before the wedding. You may feel like a new hair-do will make you feel even more fabulous but there’s a strong chance this is a reaction to stress and excitation. So save the new pixie cut look for after the big day!

Sun-kissed skin…
The fake tanning process takes a lot of trial and error. It can take time to find the right product and method for you. Be sure to test out the product you are wanting to use a few times, and give yourself plenty of time for the tan to sink in and brighten. You should decide in advance which method works best, and if you choose gradual tanning lotion…start now!

Stick to the status quo…
Have you ever stared into a mirror and picked out all the spots and dots, and then researched how to get rid of them quickly? You may come across miracle products claiming to clear your skin is one week, or make a pimple disappear overnight. We recommend sticking to what you know and not falling into the miraculous claims of products that may worsen your skin.

The road to the holy grail…
When it comes to your skincare routine, you should also remain using beauty products you are familiar with. We bet you spent many years finding your tried and tested holy grail products. Allergic reactions or product incompatibility with your skin is far too great a risk to take so close to your wedding day.

Stay in the comfort zone…
With the rush of your wedding day and the pressure of getting in shape, you may feel drawn to different workout routines for a way to tone up quickly. It’s best to stick to your familiar workout routine. New workouts may push you out of your physical comfort zone, leading to possible injury. The last thing you need is a sprained ankle as you walk down the aisle.

From 90’s Shields to 90’s Barrymore…
There is nothing worse than dreaming of tamed and tidy brows, only to look in the mirror and see half your eyebrows missing. It is best to see your beautician a month in advance to whip those eyebrows into shape and tidy with tweezers in the lead up. Just in case they go too far, you’ll have the time to reduce redness and grow them back to health.

You can’t supplement hard work…
Whilst trying to shape up for the big day, you may be tempted by various dietary supplements that promise things too good to be true. Don’t fall into the trap! Stick to a healthy eating and workout routine, rather than falling for temporary diets that can damage your health.

Get some beauty sleep…
This one’s a no-brainer. Make sure you are getting enough beauty sleep. Being well rested gives us a more energy, brighter eyes, and healthy, shiny hair. So don’t be pulling late-nighters in the weeks before your wedding.
Pearly (but sore) whites…
All brides want to be flashing a pearly white smile for those wedding photos, but just remember that professional treatments are ongoing and leave your teeth feeling sensitive. We suggest starting this beauty routine when you get engaged, so you can enjoy all the champagne and cake your heart desires without any struggles.

Blisters on the big day…
Walking down the aisle with blisters is probably not what you had in mind for your dream day. You may be stressed about getting those perfect pumps dirty and marked, but it is better to of worn them in now than to wear a brand new pair of shoes on the day. They should be worn in gradually over a few months for maximum comfort.
A Touch Of Tint…
There is nothing wrong with getting your eyelashes tinted before your wedding, but don’t let it be your first time! Some brides may find that they have a small reaction or that it doesn’t do much for their eyelashes. Try it at least once before booking in for your wedding day treatment!

Treat Yourself…
Chances are you’ve used a face mask before and a few hours later, have found yourself looking like a tomato! Your skin is partcicuarly sensitive on your face and that’s the last place you want to see a reaction. Avoid any new or intense facial treatments before the big day. If you are really wanting to try something, book it in a few months in advance.
