Every bride wants clear, healthy skin for the wedding day, so you need to create a personalized skincare routine with a dermatologist or aesthetician. This is enough time for the skin to completely heal from any surgical interventions and for treatments to take effect. Also, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly to keep the body and skin healthy.
When it comes to hair care, regular trims or haircuts can keep it healthy and promote growth. Now is the time to start experimenting with different hairstyles to find the perfect looks for the big day. Use deep conditioning at least once a week to nourish your hair and avoid high heat when styling as much as possible.
A healthy diet can play a significant role in overall health and appearance. Brides should focus on eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. Considering that wedding planning can hardly be stress-free, you should find ways to relax. Some of the popular ways for that are yoga, meditation, and regular massages, so booking a wellness weekend at least once a month may be ideal.

Six months before the wedding, it’s time to think about the definite hair and makeup look for the wedding day. This is important for those who want longer hairstyles or if you decided to have extensions that can be pricey. Continue with proper hair care by adding some regular regenerative treatments at your stylist to boost your hair’s health.
During this time, you should start with semi-permanent cosmetic treatments for the face and body, like microblading. This tattooing technique will give you an illusion of fuller and more defined eyebrows that will last even during the honeymoon. Brides living in big cities won’t have any problems finding experts in microblading, for example, since this procedure is quite in a demand. Another popular semi-permanent technique is teeth whitening which is perfect to have six months before marriage for a bright and confident smile.
By now you have developed a consistent skincare routine with a dermatologist or aesthetician, so now you can discuss fillers. Moreover, see whether you need more aggressive treatments, like chemical peels, to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. Around this time, brides need to have regular manicures to keep their nails healthy and try out different nail colours and styles to complement their wedding dresses.
Stress levels are higher than before and physical activity can help you keep them under control by stimulating the production of endorphins. Wellness weekends are still recommended, but if those are heavier on the budget, start a hobby, like dance lessons that can be also useful for the wedding day.

It’s almost a wedding day so confirm the dates and times of all the scheduled appointments, including hair, makeup, facials, nail care, and any other beauty treatments. Continue with your beauty routine, focusing on exfoliating and moisturizing to keep the skin glowing and hydrated. Also, avoid trying any new skincare products or treatments that could cause irritation or breakouts.
Final dress fittings should take place around this time to give enough time for the seamstress to make changes. If you plan to get waxed, schedule the appointment at least a week before the wedding day to give her skin time to recover and avoid any redness or irritation.
As the wedding day approaches, you can feel stressed and anxious, so it’s essential to take time for relaxation and self-care. Brides should make sure they get plenty of rest and sleep, especially during the week leading up to the wedding day. If it will make you feel better, start preparing a wedding day emergency kit that includes items such as extra makeup, hairpins, and safety pins. It will calm your nerves as you will be prepared for anything unexpected that may happen on the big day.
