Winter Wedding Skin

If you are preparing for your big winter wonderland wedding, then you need to be preparing your delicate skin. Winter brings cold, wet, strong harsh winds, which strip the skin of all its richness. Making matters worse, when we go and try to warm up, the fire or heater instantly sucks the moisture out of your skin. So any soon to be brides worried about dry skin on your big day, read on for some fab tips.

AVOID STEAMY SHOWERS

Hot water robs the skin of all important moisture, so if you can bear it, shower in luck warm water. This will hopefully let your skin keep moisture in.

KEEP MOISTURISED

Need we state the obvious? If your skins feeling dry and tight, re-moisturise. The same rule applies for the rest of your body; it is always handy to have a lovely hand cream at arm’s length. We recommend Lush’s ‘Helping Hands’ cream, with its natural ingredients and its cocoa aroma. Their ‘Crème Anglaise’ also works wonders as it’s a hand and body lotion.

EXFOLIATE

New skin can only come from getting rid of the old dry bits, and moisturiser works much better on clean skin.

SKIP SOAP

It may sound a little gross ditching soap, but soap really dries out  your skin, so opt of a moisture filled cleanser instead.

Drink...WATER!

Sorry to disappoint you nearly wed’s, but drinking alcohol is never good for your skin. So in preparation for your big day, make sure you drink plenty of water each day to keep moisturised.

Extra tip: Moisturisers are best used on damp skin as they lock the moisture in.
