PLANNING | Getting Your Skin Photo-Ready For Your Wedding Day

Wedding photos are probably the most important photoshoot you’ll ever be part of. These photos commemorate your big day, so you want to look as gorgeous as possible. There are pros and cons to professional photography. The obvious pro is that you get amazing photos of absurdly high quality. The clear con is that they really reveal every tiny flaw, particularly in your skin. That’s why your wedding day may be the most important day of all to ensure that you’ve got the best beauty products to give yourself glowing skin. I know someone who is looking to become a dermatologist and one of the courses that she wants to do is a bb glow course, as she wants to be a part of making people feel their best on their wedding days (when it comes to having radiant skin) and also in general too. When you’re skin looks good, you feel so much better. If you’ve never done it before, you might want to invest in something like Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream, which succeeds in anti-aging, as well as supporting overall healthy skin. There are websites such as Reviewing This that review products like this, so it may be worth checking them out if you’re looking for new skin products for your wedding day.

So, to avoid feeling self-conscious when the camera is out, here are some tips to get your skin photo-ready for your big day:

Hydrate Your Dry Skin

Dry skin is a big problem when you’re about to get married. The main problem is that you try to cover it up with makeup and end up applying too much. This then makes your face look caked in the stuff, and it ruins your photos. It’s also a problem you can feel, which makes it all the more annoying. Anyway, in the weeks leading up to your wedding day, go on a strict hydration routine. Moisturize twice per day, keep your skin nice and hydrated, and watch it become fuller, bouncier, and more vibrant. Then, you’ll need less makeup, and your skin will be glowing in all your photos.

Wave Goodbye To Crows Feet

I think crows feet have to be the most common problem out there for most women. After months of late nights planning the wedding, you start to develop strain lines at the corner of your eyes. This makes you look much older than you are, and will show up clearly on camera. Thankfully, there are places like alchemy43.com that offer crows feet treatments. Essentially, you want to get rid of these little lines and give your face a nice fresh look. The benefit of getting rid of crow’s feet is that you bring your eyes to life once more as well. They appear more vibrant and bright, making you look stunning in the photos.

Smooth Out Your Wrinkles

We all hate wrinkles. Just the word is enough to send shivers down my spine. Wrinkles are always associated with old people, so if you have them, it means death is surely around the corner soon because you’re extremely old, right? Well, obviously not, no, you can get wrinkles at any age. It just makes us feel older than we are because we know we shouldn’t have them when we’re young, particularly on our wedding day! The biggest culprit is the forehead. Those classic frown lines can make us feel self-conscious, and we want to get rid of them. Thankfully, there are loads of treatments and creams you can buy to smooth them out and get rid of any wrinkles. Now, you’ll have lovely smooth looking skin in every photo.

By taking care of your skin, you will greatly improve how you look and feel on your wedding day. The biggest thing for me is that you take care of any flaws, meaning you don’t rely on makeup to cover anything up. Instead, you can use it to accentuate your natural beauty, rather than causing you to look like a clown. So, give my tips a go if you want better skin, fast.
