We are sure every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day. And we are not just talking about the wedding dress, but you will also have to pay special attention to your makeup. For an unbeatable result and to look flawless throughout the event, it is necessary to take very good care of your skin during the previous months, especially in the case of winter brides. Discover the best beauty tips for a winter bride!
Skin care should be part of our daily routine, both cleaning it in depth and applying the right products to keep it hydrated. The reality is that during the winter months skin suffers the adversities of the weather: the air, pollution, the cold, the dryness of the environment, and so on. For this reason, from the beauty experts at Cigarral de las Mercedes we want to help you with these beauty tips to look even more beautiful than ever on your big day.
Back to basics, skincare
Every woman wants to look spectacular on her wedding day, and no wonder, because it will be one of the most important days of her life. To wear flawless makeup, it is necessary to take very good care of the skin during the previous months and pretty much any time of the year, but even more so during the winter. The reason why? The skin tends to be drier, especially face and hands, as they are more exposed to the cold and the air.
- Deep hydrate the skin, fruit as allies
The base of any make-up should be a well-hydrated skin so that the products settle properly and remain in perfect condition for a longer period of time. External agents, such as low temperatures and air, may dry-out the skin and cause redness. To prevent dry and flaky skin, you should start with preventive measures, such as exfoliation, cleansing and moisturizing.
In addition to using moisturizing and hydrating products, you cannot forget the importance of hydrating from within. Therefore, drink at least 2 liters of water a day and incorporate fruits and vegetables in your diet so that your skin is also hydrated from the inside. The best fruit for glowing skin is: orange, watermelon, avocado, apple, lemon, mango, cucumber, and pomegranate. Your skin will look healthy, juicy and radiant!
- Strong, hydrated and hair-friendly fuit
Just like the dermis of the face and hands, the scalp and hair also suffer from winter pain as they can become weaker, drier and brittle. To achieve strong, moisturized hair, it is important to use moisturizing products. For example, a beauty trick for winter brides is to apply coconut oil or olive oil masks, leave on for as long as possible and then wash with your usual products.
If you don’t want your hair to look dull or damaged don’t rub it and let it air dry. The best way is to every now and then, just place a towel on over your shoulders and allow air dry naturally. If you need to use a blow dryer or flat iron, don’t forget to apply heat protectant products first to avoid dryness and split ends. Another beauty tip for winter brides is that just as hot air is not a good idea for your hair, hot water can cause it to break down. Experts recommend washing your hair with lukewarm water. The best fruit for healthy hair is: orange, banana, papaya, apple, avocado and strawberries. Nuts are also great, almonds and walnuts among the top.
- Soft hands
Another winter victim are the hands and nails, as they become drier and cracked. To keep them soft and moisturized, you must take good care of them and protect them properly. Avoid hot or cold water. Do not forget to use moisturizing creams several times a day, especially after washing your hands, and wear gloves whenever possible to prevent the air and low temperatures from drying out your hands. Try a soft exfoliating cream before hydrating. A useful tip is to warm up some socks or gloves, apply a natural oil such as coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil or avocado oil and leave on for about 20 minutes. You will discover soft and hydrated hands immediately.
