SUGARY SWEET SCRUBS…
Make sure your skin looks silky, radiant and healthy by regularly applying body scrubs in the weeks leading up to the big day. Get your girls round for a pamper evening and whip up some of your own scrubs. If you’re on a budget, this recipe for a DIY strawberry sugar scrub is perfect! It smells delicious and is super simple to make.

I’M READY FOR MY CLOSE UP…
A pre-wedding facial is an absolute must! Facials cleanse, nourish and exfoliate your skin which will leave your face looking clear and well-hydrated for the wedding. We suggest developing a facial routine once a month for six months prior to your wedding. But make sure you don’t have a facial the night before the big day because the effects only start to show 2-3 days afterwards. Alternatively, try a sheet mask for a quick burst of hydration!

TAN GODDESS…
Get that beautiful, bronze glow for your wedding by adding self tanning to the pamper party to-do list! You and your girls will look like sun-kissed beach babes when you walk down the aisle after a DIY tanning session. If you want to look like you’ve just flown in from a Mediterranean holiday escape but you’re on a budget, the new wedding beauty range from Showpo has got you covered. Browse their range of self tan foams and applicator mitts here.

PEARLY WHITES…
If you want to have a fresh smile for your wedding, try a teeth whitening treatment! There are plenty of affordable at-home teeth whitening kits so you can dazzle your guests with your pearly whites. Even though you can start seeing results from teeth whitening in as little as 3 days, it’s recommended that you start the routine at least a month before the wedding for the best outcome.

HAIR CARE…
To achieve luscious, healthy looking hair for your wedding day you need to start taking your vitamins! Taking a few supplements in preparation for the big day will prevent your hair from looking dull and brittle. Taking Zinc and Vitamin B supplements will keep your hair looking thick and long but if you don’t want to take supplements, foods that are rich in Zinc include oysters, chicken and yoghurt while avocados, nuts, eggs and quinoa are full of Vitamin B.
BEAUTY SLEEP…
Planning a wedding is no easy feat so it’s natural for brides to get stressed as the big day approaches. However, this stress can have a really negative impact on your sleep. Getting enough sleep before your wedding is so important because being well rested will put you in a better mood and have you looking fresh and glowing. Aromatherapy oils are a great way to reduce stress and relax before bed time so that you get a great night’s sleep in the lead up to your wedding.
