Popular Skin Care Treatments For The Indian Bride

By  | 

Every bride wants to dazzle on her Wedding Day. But not everyone is blessed with a perfectly radiant and flawless skin.  No matter how much one scrubs, tones and moisturizes her skin prior to this important event in her life, without professional help and the right skin care-treatments, one simply cannot achieve the desired, faultless look. For this purpose, one has no choice but to visit reputed salons and dermatologists who can help prepare her skin for the D-day. Here are some popular beauty treatments for the Indian bride:

1) Facials– Facials must be done two weeks prior to the events. Additionally, brides-to-be should cleanse-tone and moisturize daily at home. One should not forget sunscreen while stepping outside. Periodic at-home exfoliation with a mild scrub is also a must.

An aesthetician/facialist will take a look at your skin and identify the skin type. She will also ask about your skin problems like blackheads, clogged pores, acne, dryness, excessive oil etc. She may also ask you questions regarding your diet, exercise routine etc. The therapist will then cleanse your skin and give you a relaxing facial massage. A scrub will be used to gently exfoliate your skin followed by steam and blackhead extraction. This gets rid of all the dead skin and dirt accumulated. You can even ask the therapist to use aromatherapy essential oils or a dry skin mask that can hydrate and moisturize your skin. There are many options in the kind of mask used: aloe, herbal, detoxifying sea weed etc.

Apart from such at-home and in-salon treatments there are times when one needs to visit the dermatologists who can recommend the right cosmetic treatments for the brides.

2) Chemical Peels-Chemical peels are very effective in removing blemishes, acne scarring, sun damage etc.  These should be performed at least a month or two before the event, at a professional’s. Glycolic acid peels are very popular among the Indian brides. A single session can cost anywhere from 500 to 2000 INR.

3) Microdermabrasion-Microdermabrasion has an action that goes deeper than chemical peels. It is usually done using a diamond tip probe or aluminium crystals. The treatment polishes skin while getting rid of scars, acne marks, blackheads etc. Cost per treatment: 2000 to 3000INR

4) Mesoglow treatments– A couple of sessions of Mesoglow can help you get a perfect glow on your wedding day. It consists of vitamin enriched injections that can give dull and dry skin much-needed nourishment. A single session can cost anywhere between 3000 to 5000INR.

5) Photo-rejuvenation– This is a treatment consisting of IPL or intense pulsed light that can rid you of sun damage, acne scarring, uneven skin tones as well as age spots. It should ideally be done three months prior to the wedding.  Cost of a single session is approximately 3000 to 5000 INR.

These are a few popular treatments which should only be done under the advice of a dermatologist.
