Imagine this- on your wedding day, all eyes are on you and you’re not feeling as beautiful as you ought to, because a few unsightly zits magically appeared on your cheeks just two days earlier. No matter how much brides prepare for their wedding look, nothing can prepare them for mini skin rebellions that often turn up at the worst moments. But relax! Beautiful glowing skin from the inside out can be yours. Here are a few tried and tested tips that work wonders in giving your skin a natural glow:
Do the Salon and Spa routine

You may have been a tomboy all your life who has probably looked down on all kinds of skin beauty treatments but here, you’re also a bride to be and that means you need to put your feet up and feel pampered. We do not suggest experimenting to no end on your skin and if you are concerned about whether that exotically named facial is likely to do more harm to you than good, then we suggest sticking to the basics- go for a thorough skin cleaning regime which gets rid of dirt and bits of left over makeup. And yes, don’t skip the body massages- they go a long way in keeping skin work and giving it a natural glow.
Try Home Face Packs

The best ingredients which can make you look gorgeous in no time are all right under your nose in the kitchen. No, we aren’t joking! Put together a face pack that works on all types of skin. Take a handful of oats and grind it to a powder. Add a dash of haldi, a spoon of sandalwood powder, some rose water and a few drops of lemon juice. You could also add some multani mitti to the mix, if you have oily skin. If you have dry skin on the other hand, add a spoon of curd which leaves your skin baby soft. Using face packs at least thrice a week helps to soothe your skin and address any bacterial infection which could result in those ugly zits.
Exfoliate- Cleanse- Tone- Moisturize

The world’s best known beauties all swear by the simple beauty regime of exfoliating, cleansing, toning and moisturising. If you enjoy wearing make-up on a daily basis, make sure that you remove every last trace of it before you hit the sack for the night. And no, don’t be under the impression that oily skin doesn’t need to be moisturised because it does! All types of skin need the right intake of moisture to keep it supple and soft. We recommend exfoliating only once a week and avoid any pimples in bloom just in case you have any as abrasive scrubs could leave behind scars and marks.
Snooze Right

Who would have that thought that getting around 8 – 9 hours of sleep every day could be part of the solution to a natural glow? Well, if beauty experts are to be believed, then getting the right amount of rest at night works wonders in keeping your skin healthy and smiling. You’ll not only wake up looking fresh but most importantly, your skin won’t have that sagging tired look that night birds usually have!
