9 steps to looking great on your wedding day

1. Eat healthy for optimum pregnancy skincare – fill up with plenty of fruit and veggies

2. Drink lots of water (at least 8 glasses a day) as this will help to hydrate your skin and flush out toxins

3. Cleanse your face and neck twice a day with a gentle cleanser

4. Moisturise your face and your whole body every day

5. Stay out of the sun and use sun protection cream religiously!

6. Exfoliate gently once a week to keep your skin glowing with health

7. Apply an intensive conditioning treatment to your hair once a week to keep it healthy

8. Give your smile a check-up by visiting your dentist (be sure to mention that you are pregnant)

9. Get plenty of sleep.

Most important – start your new routine early and don’t try out anything new just before your wedding day!

Grab a free beauty consultation!

Lots of beauty counters offer brides-to-be free beauty consultations, so why not take advantage of the offer? Of course, they're hoping you will buy products from them – but don’t feel pressured into buying anything you don’t want or need.

A good consultant will be only too happy to share her knowledge with you.

You’ll need to be completely honest about any skin problems you have and tell the consultant whether your skin has changed during your pregnancy. It's a great way to help you find skin-care preparations that best suit your pregnant skin.

Back to basics though - your simple daily routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing will keep your skin blemish-free and looking healthy.

Expect your skin to change!

It’s very likely that your skin will change in some way now that you are pregnant. The most common pregnancy skin problems are

melasma (also known as chloasma),
acne
stretch marks and
varicose veins.

The good news is that you can treat all of these problems during your pregnancy but you should take preventative measures too.
