To help you look your best from head to toe and to get that perfect glowing complexion, I have come up with some pretty simple and top skin care tips that every would-be bride can easily follow at home.
1.Cleanse your Skin Regularly
This is the foremost essential skin care tips for a bride.You must cleanse your skin two times in a day to get rid of dirt, makeup and other toxic elements from your skin.Always remember to wash your face with lukewarm water before using any cleanser. This helps to unclog pores and prevent skin problems such as acne or pimples.Look for cleansers that are geared towards your skin type.Use cleansers that are gentle on the skin and that does not upset the ph balance of the skin.Here are some simple natural face cleansers that you can try for a smoother and glowing skin.
Honey + Lemon Face Cleanser
Honey and lemon together make a perfect cleanser for oily and acne prone skin.Lemon is a natural antiseptic and an exfoliator that helps clear away dead skin cells.The antibacterial and antioxidant effects of honey boost youthful glow.Combine a tbsp of honey with a tsp of lemon juice and smooth it on your face and neck.After 5 minutes, gently massage with your fingers in a circular motion and then wash off with cool water.

For the face use moisturizers that are designed to cater your skin needs.No matter what skin type you have, you need to moisturize twice in a day.If you have an oily skin, then mix a few drops of rose water to your face moisturizer and apply.The goal here is to add water-based hydration to your skin.If you have a dry or sensitive skin then you need both oil and water-based hydration.
