Skin Routine

Hi all,

So as I head into the last few weeks before the wedding, I wondered what everyone is doing (or planning to do) with their skincare routine.

Especially - I have quite 'rosy' skin on my face, which is otherwise very pale. I am of Irish stock - so pale and freckly. I know I will be fully made up, but I would like to try and get get smoother less red skin underneath.

The second thing is my upper body and arms, which don't see a lot of daylight, and will be fully on show as I am in a strapless dress. Someone recommended the Sanctury Trim and Tone body wrap, not so much for the trim element, but that the mask does amazing things for your skin. Has anyone used it?

So - what is everyone's planned routine from now to the wedding? And any specific advice for the problem areas above would be great!

    I'd recommend a colour balancer for the day. A green one will balance out the red patches.

    I've used the sanctuary thing and although it is a major pain in the bottom, it did work a bit - I lost a couple of centimeters and it did make my skin look better. I intend to do another one in the morning before my wedding.
