What beauty treatments should I have?

lindsey_toffee_girl

Hi all I am getting married in August and I would like to know any beauty treatments you think I should get?

I am thinking fake tan though will this rub off on my dress?

Also I was looking into the facials I think they are called Crystal clear, think it is a form of micro derminbrasion (I could be wrong)
Anyway I would like to here any suggestions that you think, I dont have any areas for problems I just want to feel special and sparkle!!

Congratulations!

Start exfoliating now. Eat right, limit alcohol, don't smoke and get plenty of exercise and sleep. A regular massage before the big day will help you relax too.

If you want to brighten your complexion the easiest way of doing this is by using a glycolic peel - Boots (No 7) does a good one, you can use this on your chest and back as well for perfect wedding day skin.

I've heard people say you shouldn't get facials too near your wedding as it can bring out spots that are under the surface?

I will have a look in boots for this, I have been using a micro scrub everyday from Philosophy which I love and my skin is so smooth from this. I do exfoliate though only once a week maybe I should be doing more?

I would recommend a body brush brush vigorously toward the heart (but use your commons sense here, go easy over veins or skin that is compromised) 3 times a week. Keep a bottle of olive oil in your bathroom cabinet and use that as a body moisturiser, you'll be amazed how soft your skin becomes. Don't worry, you won't smell.

I usually buy the glycolic acid peel when it is on a 3 for 2 promotion - £16 each last time I think - has a free gift on purchases over £30 and I can use a £5 voucher. That covers me, Mum and sister nicely!! :beer:

Tesco had the Revitaliste (I think that's what it was called) peel kit for £4.79 or similar recently.

definitely! Elbows and knees esp if you are going down the fake tan route.
