Top 10 Beauty Must Haves for the Winter Bride

Hi guys,

So the wedding season is here and I have some beauty must haves and handy tips for all you winter brides. Here you go:

1. Rich Moisturizer

That will be the number 1 requirement in winters. Skin will be dry and patchy which will lead to redness and unevenness on the skin, a rich moisturizer is what you must never skip. Apply it every morning on cleansed skin and maybe even reapply if your skin feels stretchy again throughout the day.

2. Sunscreen & Scarf/Umbrella

Oh the last minute shopping and rushing for the final trials & fittings, you do not want to be burned or tanned. While your sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from sun’s rays, it won’t help prevent tanning. You will have to cover your head with a nice scarf or better is to use an umbrella, no shame in protecting your skin before your big day!

3. Body Butter

Taking care of your body is equally essential because you don’t want dry patches or flaky skin. A good, rich body butter will keep your skin protected from the harsh winters & dryness

4. Exfoliator

Exfoliating is very essential to get rid of dead skin cells. Skin layer renews every 21 days and if the old and dead skin cells are not exfoliated, the new skin will come over the dead skin cells forming oil clogs, etc. So exfoliating your face once a week with a mild Exfoliator is a must for the bride-to-be. In the same way, body needs exfoliation too and the body Exfoliator can be a little rougher. Do not forget areas like the elbows and the knees

5. Night cream/Serum/Oil

Skin renews faster and absorbs products the quickest during night time. A rich night cream will give you soft, supple skin the next morning. These days you also get serums for targeted issues or a blend of essential oils which are natural and organic and yet work deep within your skin.

6. Lip Balm

Lips gets very dry and chapped in winters and if your lips are chapped, no lipstick or makeup would look good. So use a lip balm everyday & gently exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush in the morning while brushing your teeth. This will keep your lips soft & supple.

7. Deep conditioning hair mask

Hair is often ignored and taken for granted by brides-to-be. The main hair concern in winters is usually frizziness & dandruff. While dandruff can be taken care of by oiling or using an anti-dandruff shampoo, your hair will need moisture & hydration which only deep conditioning can give. So use a deep conditioning hair mask to nourish the hair and keep frizz at bay

8. Deep lipstick shades

Every bride-to-be should have a red lipstick in her stash. (MAC Ruby Woo is your best bet). But for winter weddings, deep plum and wine shades are IN this season. Check out L’Oreal Paris Pure Red Lipstick in Pure Garnet.

9. Neutral eyeshadow Palette

A neutral palette with golds, plums and browns is all you need when it comes to eyeshadows. If you are confused, go for Urban Decay Naked Palette.

10. Blush/Highlighter

A rosy pink blush to accentuate your cheeks and a good highlighter to enhance that bridal glow.

That’s it. What do you think are the beauty must haves for the winter bride?
