Bridal Health Tips

If you want to look your best on the big day it is a very good idea to get yourself into shape. We don't mean just taking up exercise, but start watching what you eat and drink as well. It may sound like hard work but we guarantee it will be worth the effort.

12 months to go

• Give up the junk food and replace it with fresh fruit, salads and vegetables, as this will help boost your immune system.
• Start drinking the recommended daily 1.5 to 2 litres of water if you don't do so already, as its important to keep your skin hydrated.
• Start doing some exercise so that you look and feel great on the wedding day.

6 months to go

• Try to make sure you start to get plenty of sleep, aim for eight hours each night, otherwise you will look tried in your wedding photographs.
• If you don't do so already start to exfoliate once or twice a week. If you are someone who has sensitive skin don't worry there are a whole range of products available, and if you don't like the look of them you can always make your own.
• Cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day.
• Use whitening toothpaste which can help to remove any unsightly stains allowing you to smile with confidence.
• If you want a tan on your wedding day and can't afford to go away before the big day then you could use a self-tan. Start trying these now so that you can experiment with shades and find one you are happy with.

3 months to go

• Go and have your nails done. If you bite your nails and are conscious about it, then you can always have false nails.
• Moisturise your hands regularly so that they don't dry out.
• Have your eyebrows done. If you have sensitive skin you might ask if you can have them threaded rather than waxed.

The night before

• Have a soak in the tub with some aromatherapy oils, as they will help you sleep, and if that fails you can always try Horlicks.
