if you suffer from oily skin DO NOT have a facial as it will bring out spots and make your skin even worse!

I have oily skin and had regular facials for about 3 months before my wedding. My skin has never been so good as it was then. Just wish I could have afforded to keep them up.

- Ermm, wash my hair about 2 days before the wedding, if I do it night before/on the day it will turn into a HUGE frizz bomb, and no ammount of frizz-ease will tame it, seriously when my hair does that I could be mistaken for Hagrid from harry potter.

Do eyebrows, wilko do some fab lil eyebrow waxing strips that I've been using forever, there brilliant.

On the day, straighten hair ( possibly with industrial equipment) to get that 'oh so goth' straight hair I desire, so make up/eyeliner, squirt some perfume. all done

OK, when I said nothing I didn't really mean nothing, but I won't be going to any salons or anything like that. Will have my hair trimmed a month before probably, smoothed then curled on the day with my own curling tongs and straighteners, and just my usual make up. I don't normally make too much of an effort so will feel like a clown if I do too much!

:sad::rolleyes2 sob sob, she gave me a facial just before ripping all but 10 eyebrow hairs off!!!
Then told me to stick toothpaste on a spot I have.:o

Violetta,

Aloe Vera gel (£2 from Holland & Barratt) will stop you breaking out in spots and heal the ones you have. It's a skin normaliser - that's why we Aussie's use it in our burns units in hospitals. It heals dry patches, prevents oily breakouts, cleans up spots and is possibly the BEST masque I have ever used (just layer thickly and keep on - no need to remove unless you want to!).

I'm pale too and the ONLY thing I have found that makes me look like I'm not wearing an orange tinted mask is mineral make-up.
Head for your local Boots or Superdrug and start testing them out - it also doesn't cake so you can reapply bits & pieces on the day without looking like you're layering!

I used the L'Oreal one, but it was not as refined as some of the newer ones on the market, so worth testing.

Kel.

Argh, I wasn't going to comment because it's up to you but...would you not prefer fake tan than a few months of skin cancer inducing sun booths?

OK, I'm shutting up again now! That's the nagger in me coming out, poor OH

I'll be getting my eyebrows done, they're fair so haven't bothered before but would like to just this once. Considering a spray tan but will have to try thisout a few months before just in case, don't want to be orab=nge just not glow in the dark, lol. Might go for some sort of wrap to loase the last few pounds and depending how finances are might go for shiatsu i thikn it is, a foot massage, which i've had a couple of times and it was sooooo relaxing Also need to find someone to do my makeup, i make a rubbish attempt every day of the week, woud like some improvement on my wedding day :rotfl:

Mrsday2tobe, thank you for the advice re the gel - i will be investing in some of that this weekend.

Just a warning to other brides re minor make up - i'm told that in order to look good on the photo's you need to go a shade darker than normal and blend blend blend otherwise your face will appear paler than the rest of your body on you photo's. Something to do with minerals/photography reflection etc. Hope this helps others
