Planning a wedding can be immensely stressful, especially when you want everything to be perfect. However, it can take a toll on your health and skin. Stress causes breakouts, dullness and even dark circles. There is no way we can let you go through all this alone. 

So, here are some tips that can help you stay calm and pamper your skin for the D-day.

•  Don’t Fall for Unknown Face Treatments: Most of the brides believe that pre-bridal skin treatments are necessary. Guess what, they are not! If you have a troubled skin, maybe you can consult a dermatologist months before the wedding, but, if you have clear skin, do not try new treatments. However, if you are sure that the treatment you are planning to go for is safe and you have experienced it in the past, go for it. Because, we at You Care Lifestyle believe inner beauty and a healthy body is more than any treatment glow. Opt for chemical-free, safe and ethically sourced products only!

• Indulge in a Clean Nutritious Diet: Most brides believe in dieting excessively for the purpose of losing weight for their special day. If done correctly, you can lose weight and maintain skin glow together. But, if you start starving yourself and not taking enough nutrients, you may lack energy, lose your glow and feel weak all the time. Do not let this ruin your special day because highlighters can only make you glowy for a few hours. Start a healthy diet with fruits, leafy vegetables for a natural glow coming from antioxidants and good quality protein. This will not only give you energy but also will boost your skin and hair health. Try to consume healthy and good-quality supplements prescribed by a professional.
  
  
• Start Working Out: Let’s talk about why breaking a sweat is so important, especially when wedding planning is in full swing. Exercising isn’t just about looking fabulous in your dress; it does wonders for your body inside and out. When you hit the gym or the mat, you’re not just toning those muscles, you’re also boosting your overall health. Regular workouts burn calories, build lean muscle, and keep those pesky health issues like diabetes and heart disease at bay. Plus, who doesn’t want to age like fine wine alongside their partner, right? But it’s not just physical benefits; working out can also be your secret weapon for battling stress and boosting creativity. A quick exercise session can do wonders for your mood and productivity. And let’s not forget endorphins, your body’s natural mood lifters.
  
  
• Try Home-Made Natural Face Packs: Now many people will ask you to not go with home-made face packs, but, trust us, there is nothing better than natural face packs. If they don’t work for you, they won’t even do the opposite. So, if you have time on your hands, try a few homemade face packs. And, if not, scroll through the entire range of natural face packs here. All you need to do is mix the powder in the desired liquid and see the magic. 

And, when it comes to home remedies, let us help you with a few home-made masks that are tried and tested by our experts.

If you believe in home remedies more than chemicals, we appreciate you for being a smart woman. 

So, here are a few options you can try at home. 

Beetroot Face Pack

Take a spoon of beetroot powder, add a spoon of rice flour along with raw honey. Mix them all together. Clean your face properly and then apply the face pack with a soft brush or your fingers. Keep it for 10-15 minutes and then wash away with water. 

How Does it Work?

Beetroot is packed with vitamin C, perfect for skin health. Honey moisturises and nourishes your skin from within, while rice flour scrubs your face to wipe out the dead skin. This mask gives skin a rosy glow and boosts collagen. It fades dark spots and shields from free radicals, leaving you with smooth, radiant skin.

Turmeric-Honey Face Mask

Take a spoonful of gram flour, add a pinch of pure turmeric as it leaves no unwanted stains. Add a few drops of milk or curd along with honey. Mix them all together and your face pack is ready. 

How Does it Work?

This turmeric mask is a game-changer for dry skin. It boosts elasticity, smoothing out wrinkles for a youthful look. It's like a golden treat for your skin, giving it a radiant glow. Plus, it fights acne, calms inflammation, and evens skin tone, leaving you with clear, beautiful skin.

Oats-Honey Face Mask

Take a spoon of oats flour (or grind some oats at home to make the flour). Add a spoon of honey along with curd. Mix them together to form a thick consistency. Clean your face properly and apply the mask evenly on your face for 10-15 minutes. 

How Does it Work?

Honey fights acne while oatmeal soothes skin. Together, they create a super mask for clearer, smoother skin. Honey's antibacterial power tackles acne, while oatmeal gently exfoliates and calms inflammation. You get a brighter, healthier complexion with this dynamic duo!

Papaya and Aloe Vera Face Mask

Grab a few pieces of ripe papaya and mash them. Mix in 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel and a few drops of natural and pure rose water until it's smooth. Apply this luxurious mask for 10 minutes, then rinse off. Use it weekly for glowing, revitalised skin!

How Does it Work? 

Papaya is your skin’s favourite friend, it exfoliates with its enzymes, which is perfect for combination skin. Aloe vera provides the moisture that combination skin will thank you for. So, if you have a combination or sensitive skin, try this mask for a healthier skin.

Let us help you with a few lip care tips that will prepare you for the day, especially if you have a winter wedding.

• Coconut Oil:

Nourish and protect lips with coconut oil. Apply directly or as a mask with sugar. Leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

• Honey:

Instantly soften lips with a mix of honey and glycerin. Apply for quick nourishment.

• Cocoa Powder:

Protect and moisturise lips with a mixture of cocoa, olive wax, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and tea tree oil. Apply and enjoy thoroughly nourished lips.

Being stressed can keep you from enjoying the most important days of your life and trust us, it will become your biggest regret in future.
