If you are here, then the countdown of your dream wedding has probably already begun and we cannot hold back the excitement! With so much happening in the back end, from finding the most stunning wedding outfit to finalising the guest list and ensuring everything goes as per the plan, there might be little to no time at all for yourself and your delicate skin.
But, hey! Don't worry, we are not here to add to your stress. Instead, we are here to help you revamp your bridal skin care games, ensuring your skin looks as radiant as you feel on your big day! Amongst all skincare staples, moisturisation is something that you can truly rely on to achieve that flawless, radiant, and beautiful bridal look that enhances your natural beauty.
So, let us explore why moisturisation is essential and how it can help you achieve that perfect bridal glow that you always desired!
The Bridal Glow: Why Moisturising Matters Most
Many people believe that the only way to achieve flawless and radiant skin is by investing in high-end beauty practices and skincare products with fancy ingredients in them. But, truth be told, the most effective skin care practices revolve around simple, nourishing, and hydrating essentials that prioritise the health of your skin based on your skin type and unique skin care needs.
Skin moisturising isn't just about adding hydration or moisturising properties to your skin. It is also about locking in moisture, strengthening the skin barrier, and enhancing the overall soft and supple appearance of your skin. No matter your skin type, moisturisation is important to ensure the smooth functioning of the skin barrier and enhance the effectiveness of other skincare essentials.
Building Your Bridal Hydration Plan
1. Choose the right moisturiser:
Building a skincare routine starts by understanding your skin type and its unique skin care needs. Some of the most common skin types found in Indian skin include dry, oily, combination, normal, and sensitive skin types. Oily skin generally produces more sebum than other skin types, while dry skin lacks adequate sebum production in the skin. On the other hand, combination skin type consists of the combination of both dry and oily skin with the T-zone producing more sebum than other areas on the skin. Sensitive skin can be easily irritated and might require extra care and attention.
For oily skin brides-to-be, invest in gel-based and oil-free moisturisers like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid that gets quickly absorbed without clogging pores or leaving greasy residue. On the other hand, for dry skin, rich creamy and thick moisturiser works the best. However, if you have dry or combination skin and you are looking for some lightweight options, this moisturiser will work just fine for you.
2. Weekly skin exfoliation:
Along with hydrating your skin, it is also imperative to keep it clean from accumulated dirt, dead cells, pollution, and impurities. A well-cleansed skin creates a strong foundation for other skincare products to penetrate deep into your skin and effectively treat various skin concerns. Weekly exfoliation helps remove stubborn accumulated impurities from your pores, offering a deep cleansing experience.
However, there is a catch. You need to make sure you don't over-exfoliate your skin as it can strip away the natural oils from your skin, making it dry and prone to skin problems. Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week with a gentle skin-exfoliating face wash is enough to make your skin look radiant and glowing from within.
3. Invest in a hydrating serum:
While moisturisers help restore and lock moisture properties in your skin, serums offer hydration to the deepest layers of your skin. Hydrating serums infused with Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% Serum offer up to 72 hours of hydration that helps strengthen the skin barrier and give that gorgeous instant plump to your skin. Hyaluronic Acid-based serums are light on the skin, get quickly absorbed, and are suitable for most Indian skin types.
After cleansing your face, apply a few drops of this serum on your skin, and use your fingertip to massage and evenly spread the product all over your face. Leave it for a few minutes to let it settle on your skin. After a few minutes, apply a small amount of hydrating and lightweight moisturiser like POND'S Fresh Glow Light Moisturiser with Vitamin E and Glycerin for glowing, plump, and soft skin.
4. Don't forget your body:
During the wedding, your face will take all the limelight, but don't forget the rest of your body. You would not want to deal with dry, parched, and irritated skin all while performing different wedding rituals. Incorporating body lotions infused with the goodness of Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Hydra Miracle Gel Body Lotion with 1% Hya-Nia Complex will not only keep your skin hydrated but will also offer deep nourishment and care throughout the wedding shenanigans.
Pro Tips for Wedding-Worthy Skin
1. Start early:
Don't wait until the last minute to start your skincare routine. It takes time for skincare ingredients to work on targeted skin concerns and naturally bring out the best version of your skin. For best results, start your skincare routine at least 3 to 6 months prior to your wedding rituals, including pre-wedding shoots or events so that your skin stays in the best condition.
2. Sun protection is essential:
Do not skip wearing sun protection even on winter or cloudy days as UV rays can easily penetrate through clouds and reach your skin. Moreover, sunscreen not just helps in blocking harmful UV rays, but also in brightening your skin and strengthening the skin barrier.
3. Take expert advice:
Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration and you shouldn't start your skincare journey without approaching a skin expert. This is especially relevant, if you already have existing skin problems that demand expert care and treatment.
4. Stick to a consistent routine:
Lastly, stick to a consistent skincare routine. This will allow you to witness better and more favourable results close to your wedding day. For instance, if you are dealing with pigmentation and dark spots, stick to an anti-pigmentation skincare routine which includes gentle yet effective face cleansers, anti-pigmentation face serums, anti-pigmentation face creams like POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème with Glutaboost Niacinamide Complex and a broad-spectrum sunscreen that gives optimum protection and care.
Conclusion
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and special moments of your life with your loved ones and the special one. Having glowing, radiant, and youthful-looking skin will help you feel your best and most confident throughout the celebrations. Give your skincare routine some time and trust the process to witness your skin transform into flawless and absolutely beautiful looking one.
Prioritise skin hydration and let the wedding shenanigans begin!
