If you’re getting married this summer, it’s likely you’ve got the fine details meticulously planned. The flowers, the bridesmaids’ dresses, the music… everything’s in place for the best day of your life. But how ready do you feel? If you’ve been running yourself ragged getting everything organised, perhaps it’s time to take some time out and indulge in some TLC for the bride-to-be.
Founder of luxury nutritional skincare brand OSKIA, Georgie Cleeve, is on hand to offer her top tips for ensuring you’re as ready, relaxed and calm as possible for your big day.
- Reclaim your calm
Step away from the wedding planning folder! To really relax and make sure you’ve got that wedding photography-worthy, well-rested glow, you need to allow yourself some time to let your cares slip away. “The night before, take some time to unwind and treat yourself to a leisurely soak in the bath”, suggests Georgie. To transform your bathroom into a wellness spa, light the Skin Smoothing Massage Candle while you’re in the bath. Not only will you love the rose fragrance, but the candle has benefits for your skin, too. “By the time you get out of the bath, the candle will have melted into a luxurious body oil that once massaged in will leave skin beautifully scented and silky soft”. What pre-wedding stress?
- Revitalise your skin
Whether your wedding dress is strapless, backless or sleeveless, make sure every inch of your skin is looking healthy and smooth by indulging in an all-over exfoliation in the days beforehand. The Micro Exfoliating Balm is perfect for buffing away dead skin cells and revealing the revitalised skin underneath. They’re also great for making sure your hands are soft and well-moisturised. “There tends to be a huge focus on your hands on the big day” points out Georgie. Follow up with the OSKIA Renaissance Hand Cream to ensure they stay silky soft all day long.
- Achieve your best ever skin
You’ll be looking back on your wedding photos for years to come, so you want to make sure that you look your best. One of the key ways to look healthy and happy is dewy, glowy skin. On the morning of your big day, create the best base for your makeup by ensuring your skin is in tip top condition. “Our Renaissance Mask is used for close-ups in films, so is great before a big event”, explains Georgie. “Massage onto clean, dry skin until the pink gel turns white. Leave on for twenty minutes then remove with a warm muslin cloth to reveal skin that’s energised, revitalised and glowing with radiance”.
