Skin care and hair tips for brides to be -

* Facials: If you don't get a facial on a regular basis, you probably don't want to risk getting one soon before your wedding day as you don't know how your skin will react to the facial treatment. If you want a facial, it's best to try one first a month before your wedding day. If you need another one closer to your wedding day, then get another one two weeks before your wedding day. You can also start using facial mask at home once a week for at least two months prior to your wedding day.

* Eyebrow Threads/Waxing: I suggest you not get your eyebrows threaded or waxed for a few days prior to your wedding day, especially if you don't have them done on a regular basis. Your skin might become irritated and/or there may be redness around your eyebrow area. It's best to get them done about a week before your wedding day. The best solution is to have your wedding makeup artist do the job for you. How do you know if she/he will do a good job? That's what a "makeup trial" is for!

* Food: Try not to eat anything that is deep fried, too salty, or too spicy at least for two months before your big day. Drinking plenty of water is always a good idea for your skin, but not on your wedding day as you don't want to keep going to the lady's room in your wedding gown. Eat lots of fresh fruits and rough vegetables for at least two months prior to your wedding day.

* Lips: Most people don't pay much attention to lips. In order to look sexy, you have to take good care of your lips. There are some lip care product on the market you can purchase. You might want to start using some to keep your lips moist at all times.

* Hair Length: Having more and longer hair is always a plus when it comes to wedding hair styling. I would advise against cutting or having your hair layered within 6 months of your wedding, unless you want a specific hair style for your wedding that requires your hair designer to shape it for you. Otherwise, the more hair the merrier.

* Hair Color: If you want to highlight or dye your hair, I suggest you do so before your "hair trial". That way the hair stylist can match the best hair style with your hair color and texture.

* Hair Condition: Wash your hair the night before your wedding day. Your hair will be easier to style.

Your makeup artist and hair stylist can only work with what you have. So work it, girl!
