Build up for the big day

You have a month to get married, and your skin is well, ah so dull.
What do you do? Where do you go? Here are some quick solutions to ensure you look your glowing best.

• Schedule a regular series of skin treatments and facials from your beautician leading up to your wedding day.

• Skin looks its best two days after a facial, so schedule the biggest skin treatment facial at least two days before Dday.

• Do start regular home treatments, there is something to be said for haldi, milk cream and gram flour baths that make your skin glow.

• Make a solution of equal parts of glycerine, lime juice and rose water and refrigerate. Use all over face and body after a bath.

• Start conditioning your hair with deep conditioning treatments every alternate day. Sit with your beautician and decide on what low maintenance, high style hair cut could take you through your pre-wedding events and wedding day styles.

• Get on a detox diet. Switch to raw veggies and fruits. Drink tons of water. You lose weight and your system stays clean. Voila-glowing skin.

• Use a raw potato slice on your face as often as you can. It's a natural bleach and exfoliator.

• Do schedule in a weekly manicure and pedicure, you want your hands and feet to look their best. Leave the all over body waxing till three days before the wedding.

• And lastly, get enough of your beauty sleep. You'll need it.
