Getting married to the man of their dreams is every woman’s wish. And if you’ve been lucky enough to find a man with whom you can spend the rest of your life, there’s definitely nothing like it. On your wedding day, as a bride, you’d definitely want to look your most beautiful or rather look like the epitome of beauty and be the center of attraction.
Pre-bridal beauty care is essential for this. You’ll find hundreds or even thousands of beauty care regimes out there for you to choose from. And of course, none of these treatments are easy on the pocket, in fact, they are sure to burn enough holes in it.
So, what’s the next best solution here? Do it at home people! Yes, we know it’s your wedding that’s coming up and not just any dinner date for which you can just wear a DIY mask to look extra pretty. But, trust us it will work wonders on your skin. All you need is to be patient and follow up with the regime on a regular basis. We’ve put down a few bridal beauty treatments that you can start doing at home before your D-day. Here they are-
1. Facial Treatments
Every bride’s skin is going to be different. Some might have hypersensitive skin as well. Therefore, opt for facials which are beneficial for your skin type. Opt for ingredients like rose water, sandalwood powder, chickpea flour, and include them in your facials to get that natural, pleasant glow on your face. We can reap a host of benefits from facials. They give that instant boost to our skin, restart the circulation in our face, and keep our skin hydrated. They also restore the natural balance in our skin, and all of this makes the skin glow like a pearl. Search the Internet and find your favorite facial that will pamper your skin. Do the facial yourself in the comfort of your home at least once in a week, in the months leading up to the wedding.
2. Haldi Packs
Have you been wondering why Indian weddings have haldi ceremonies? It’s not just for fun of playing Holi or troubling the bride or groom-to-be. Turmeric is considered to be a natural skin brightener. And it doesn’t just brighten your skin, but it even lightens up the blemishes or scars on your skin (if any). It also helps in removing tan. It contains curcumin which boosts the secretion of melanin in our skin (1).
To pamper your skin before your wedding, mix some turmeric powder with any of these components — milk, curd, honey, or cream, and add a little rose water to it. Apply this mixture on areas of your face where you think skin repair is required. Rinse your face after keeping the pack on for 10–15 minutes.
3. Roses For A Winning Face
Rose water is the most floral facial remedy ever! The rose, which is a symbol of romance and love, will help your skin look lovely. You’ll get a natural pink, rosy blush on your face if you apply rose water on your face. You can either use rose water available at your nearest stores or grind some rose petals, add water to it, along with a few drops of whiskey. This rose pack will make your skin look rosy-pink, plump, and taut. If you don’t want to do so much hard work, just dab your face with a cotton dipped in rose water after you wash your face. It will relax your skin.
4. Magical Multani Mitti
Also called fuller’s earth, this natural ingredient works wonders on our skin. If you have oily skin, it’s going to help reduce the oil secretion of your face, close the pores, purify, and refine the skin.
Slather a mixture of the mitti and rose water on your face. Let the mixture dry and then wash it off your face and wipe it clean. Watch your skin rid itself of the oil mess and attain a natural glow.
5. Luscious Chocolate For Luscious Locks
If cocoa-rich chocolate can turn your cranky mood into a calm wave, it can also help your hair look lustrous. Cocoa is rich in magnesium, tannins, vitamins, minerals, and proteins which are all great for reducing hair fall (2).
To treat hair fall, mix two tablespoons of cocoa powder with two tablespoons of cocoa butter (if you cannot find cocoa butter, use coconut oil) and add a tablespoon of honey to it. Massage this mixture on your head. You can spread it on your hair ends if you want to get rid of split ends.
