Guys, wedding prep is not just about picking the perfect sherwani and rehearsing your dance moves—you need to spoil your skin too! I mean, you and your bride-to-be need to be a work of art when you step onto the stage. So, let’s skip the unnecessary details and get to the point—here’s your complete pre-wedding skincare guide for being fresh, crisp, and glowing on your wedding day.
- Start Early—Like, Really Early!
Good skin does not happen overnight, so the sooner you start, the better. Ideally, start a skincare routine six months before the wedding. No panic if you’re late to the party—just hang in there!
✔ Cleanse twice a day to strip away dirt and oil
✔ Use a toner to regulate your skin
✔ Moisturize to keep it fresh and hydrated
- Get a Facial – Yes, Really!
Brides aren’t the only ones who can enjoy facials! A professional facial removes dirt, hydrates your skin, and gives you that groom-worthy shine. Book an appointment no less than a month before the wedding date so your skin can recover and shine.
- Exfoliate: Goodbye Dead Skin!
Men, gym floor scrubbing is not for floors alone—your face needs it too! Exfoliating removes dead skin and leaves your skin smooth and glowing. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to prevent breakouts.
- Professional Shave
Wedding is not a time for razor burn and nicks. Get a professional shave a couple of days before the wedding for a smooth, irritation-free look.
- Moisturize—Every. Single. Day.
Yes, we’re repeating this because it’s THAT important!
✔ Morning: Use a lightweight moisturizer with SPF to protect from the sun
✔ Night: Use a hydrating moisturizer to repair your skin overnight
- Hydrate Like a Boss
Want fresh, healthy skin? Drink water! At least 8 glasses a day will keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
- Eye Cream – No Dark Circles Allowed!
Long wedding ceremonies = late nights. Prevent dark circles from stealing your sparkle! Apply an eye cream to deflate tired eyes and puffiness. Apply sparingly morning and evening for maximum effectiveness.
- Protect Your Skin from the Sun
You don’t want uneven skin tones in your wedding pictures! Apply sunscreen or a moisturizer with SPF 30 minutes before stepping out. If you’ll be outdoors for long, reapply every two hours.
- Cut Down on Alcohol & Smoking
We get it, weddings call for celebrations, but excessive drinking and smoking can leave your skin looking dull and dehydrated. Moderate your intake so your skin stays fresh and glowing.
- Get Your Beauty Sleep!
Long wedding ceremonies can wreck your sleep pattern, but try to sleep at least 7-8 hours. Sleeping eliminates puffiness, dark circles, and frown lines, and you look great!
Time to Shine, Groom!
Skincare is not just for brides, however, but for every groom as well, who also wants to look suave on the wedding day! Follow these simple steps and walk into the wedding stage with a glowing smile, fresh, and just ravishing.
