Glow up before ‘I do’? Essential beauty treatments for every bride

by Akhona Ndlela

If you are in South Africa, you would definitely agree with me in saying that there’s some in the air when it comes to the love scene.

I’ve lost count of how many wedding announcements we’ve had so far. Be it the white weddings or even the traditional weddings (which are my favourite) and I cannot help but boldly the brides looked absolutely gorgeous.

I’m sure the process of getting ready for your wedding has a charmingly surreal feel, and it’s so easy to overlook the importance of your personal well-being in the midst of venue visits, wedding dress shopping, and seat assigning chaos.

For this reason, a bridal glow-up is more than just looking good. It’s all about being present and grounded as you approach one of the most significant days of your life. The purpose of these beauty procedures is to make you feel even more like yourself, not to alter who you are.

For prospective brides, GlobalSpa states that while body brushing and massages promote relaxation and smoother skin, facials are essential for cleansing, increasing circulation, and moisturising skin. Achieving flawless bridal hair requires frequent hair care treatments that address dryness, dullness, and dandruff. Exfoliation and massage are two de-tanning techniques that can help manage tans and leave skin looking radiant.

The above beauty source also adds that professionally done eyebrows are essential for emphasising characteristics. These procedures contribute to a lovely and stress-free wedding.

Weddingvibes claims that to achieve that radiant bridal look, maintain those pores pleasant and clear, gently cleanse them every day in the morning and at night. Alcohol-free toner to prepare your skin for other products by balancing its ph levels. Antioxidant-rich hydrating serum to combat bothersome free radicals.

The above websites warn that one size does not fit all, so choose a rich moisturiser that is appropriate for your skin type. Weekly exfoliation treatments to remove dead skin cells and expose radiant, new skin and use broad-spectrum sunscreen to save your priceless face—yes, even on overcast days!
