Help me glow up for my wedding

32 replies

I'm getting married in 5 weeks time and I'm looking to do anything and everything to give myself a glow up between now and then (preferably at home) to help me look my best on my wedding day.

So far I have:

  • Worked hard on my body
  • Bought and used box dye on my hair for fresh colour
  • Bought an eyebrow tint
  • Started using teeth whitening strips

What else would you do if you were giving yourself a glow up for your wedding?

Also. Any tips when it comes to dry/brittle hair?

Agree about the water and alcohol.

One really simple tip for the day itself: Pure Epsom salt bath (using one or two cups of salts). For me, this magically softens and exfoliates skin, as well as reducing any water retention (particularly tummy bloating). It also seems to make my hair softer and more swishy (obviously I rinse off in the shower). Perhaps try one beforehand to see if it works for you?

Drink lots of water
Dry body brush
Sheet masks with collagen and hyalorunic acid....
Cold showers

Nars Sheer Glow is an excellent foundation for wedding day makeup.

Be careful with face powder if you use it - a lot of them can cause a 'flashback' effect in photographs so make sure whatever you use is photo friendly!

Which cellulite serum do you use please?[/quote]
@JMAngel1 just a Nivea Cellulite gel cream. I normally stock up when on offer as it goes down a lot regularly in Boots or Ocado (perhaps other supermarkets). It works wonders for me and I have been using it for decades now. Sometimes they rebrand it, but any cheap cellulite gel does it for me. Same end result.
I use it every year in summer and it really smooth my legs, dunno how much it does for my cellulite. I often say I will keep using it in winter but I then prefer a thicker moisturizer by then.

The things that make the most difference to me:
Regular exercise
Good diet - particularly notice my skin is better with low sugar
Lots of water
Take care to moisturise and generally pamper

Have fun and congratulations!

Oh yes and hair masks - have you looked at Olaplex #3?
