From September 24, many people will be getting married in South Africa because it has become a culture to host such events on Heritage Day and during spring.
While the gown, food and decor are important in every wedding, it is also paramount for the bride and groom to glow on their big day.
Most brides usually wear a full facebeat on their wedding day.
However, some prefer to get married with their natural look or maybe do a soft glam. If you are one of them, here’s how you can achieve maximum glow without or little make-up.
1. Start early and go natural
If you want to look all-natural at your wedding, start preparing in time. Aim to establish a routine at least six months ahead of time to allow your skin to adjust and thrive without make-up.
2. The magic of oil cleansing
Don’t underestimate the power of oil cleansing. This method not only removes make-up and impurities, but also balances your skin’s natural oils, leaving it soft and supple.
Oils such as jojoba, sweet almond, or grapeseed are great for massaging your skin as they are lightweight and don’t clog pores. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the oil after massaging the skin.
3. Mindful nutrition
A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants is very important if you want to have healthy-looking skin. Eat more leafy greens, fruits, nuts, and seeds since these foods help promote glowing skin.
4. Avoid stress
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but avoid stressing over things you cannot control. Stress can cause unnecessary break-outs on your skin, so breathe and take it easy on yourself.
5. Maximise beauty sleep
Beauty sleep exists. The more you sleep, the better your skin looks. To maximise your beauty sleep, consider investing in a silk pillowcase. Not only is it gentler on your skin, but it also helps reduce friction, which can lead to fewer wrinkles and fine lines.
