A NEWLYWED revealed the skincare tips she followed to look flawless on her wedding day. She advised other brides to maintain their skin health without splurging on expensive treatments. She shared her beauty routine on Reddit after a 35-year-old woman asked how to rejuvenate her appearance ahead of her nuptials.
Writing under the name Ajupbox , the newlywed spoke candidly about the skincare products and lifestyle changes that worked for her. “I would honestly just focus on hydration and going back to a lightly exfoliating topical (not retinol) this close to the day,” she said. “Brides get marketed to SO aggressively, and I found for my own that if you already have decent skin, focusing on maintaining your barrier and moisture is so much more beneficial.
“Any good professional will make your makeup incredible, and it looks only as good as the skin it’s on. “Do not fall for the short-term rush of paying so much for treatments you’re not familiar with.” The Redditor listed five tips she embraced five months before her wedding.
“Daily water intake at 3L, cut out a lot of alcohol at that time,” she said. “Retinol that I’d already been on 3x/week. “Physical exfoliant and dermaplane every 2 weeks (alternating).
“Heavy focus on moisture barrier and layering serums that would plump my skin. “Red light therapy mask 2-3x a week at home.” She said the visible improvement in her skin impressed everyone involved in her wedding.
