Prewedding beauty routine

NJ_bride · September 25, 2008

Ok, I searched this whole thread so I think no one else has posted this. I am wondering if any one has a pre wedding beauty routine. I am 70 some days away. I have been going to the gym and eating healthy all year. Lost and kept 10lbs off and really toned my arms. Yesterday I started thinking about teeth whitening, nighttime moisturizing of problem spots, etc. I also have to use a rinse to cover up some grey hairs before the wedding. So does anyone have a time line? I want to cover all the bases, skin, body, teeth, hair, nails, eyebrows, waxes, ect.

i dont have a timeline per se, but start making sure from now until the wedding that you are drinking at least 1 liter of water a day to stay hydrated.

we left on a wednesday for our saturday wedding, and i got waxed that monday. 2 weeks before the wedding, i started the GoSMILE teeth whitening, recommended by my dentist (starter kit is like $120 i think).

Hey-here's what I have done thus far: I have had a couple micro-derms done to my face and have been exercising at least 3 times a week....(the eating is another story! ) I have managed to shed some inches!

I am just over 2 weeks away till I leave and have scheduled a hair appt for this weekend and an eyebrow waxing. # days before I go, I will be getting a mani/pedi.

Since you still have a few months left, I would focus on facials, excercise, and start the teeth whitening..

Sorry-couple more: start (if you don't already) taking multi-vitamins!! I have also been tanning to get a base tan...I know it's not the healthy thing to do...

My face tends not to react well with sunblock. I usually break out on vacations and such. One of the things I did a few months before the wedding is try differnt sunblocks and moisturizers with sunblock to make sure that my skin can handle it. The LAST thing you want on your wedding day is a great big pimple.

I also got a base tan to ensure that I wasn't burned and had no tan lines.

So ladies, I'm 50 days away. I have started my teeth whiting. FH and I have gone back to the gym 4 days a week cardio and weight training. I have been using the Nivea anti-cellulite cream-don't know if it is working but it can't hurt! November I will start my tanning to get a nice even base. I always take a multi-vitamin and I'm really trying with the water, that is hard for me.

My hair is a whole other issue for me. It is naturally curley and long. I had a hair style tried but now I'm thinking I want something else. Overall my hair just doesn't feel healthy. I haven't colored in years I condition, it's just not enough. Any suggestions? Frizz is a big issue for me.
