So, he FINALLY proposed.  

The wedding date is set and you're now in the search for of the perfect dress, beautiful flowers, and a great venue.  There's also the calligrapher, the cake, the catering and so on.  But then again, you shouldn’t forget one thing – your face.  

Planning a wedding may be fun and exciting, but it can wreak havoc on your skin, leading to a dull and lackluster complexion.  Here are ways on how to bring the glow back in time for the big event.

1. For the eyes - since the eyes are the first place to show signs of tiredness, you’ll need to apply regular eye cream to counteract puffiness and dark circles.  

2. For dead skin cells – you can either use a facial scrub once or twice a week or switch to a cream with Alpha Hydroxy acids.  This will gently loosen dead skin cells and exfoliate without the visible flaking.

3. For mild to moderate acne – a Casmara facial is recommended for detoxifying and deep cleansing the skin.  The pimples, whiteheads and blackheads are extracted using a fine needle and comedone extractor then immediately followed by a soothing toner to close the pores and tighten the skin.

4. For dry, rough skin – opting for a Thai traditional facial is a good choice here.  Using only fresh fruit ingredients and white clay, this facial is designed to gently deep cleanse and tone the skin.  First, a cucumber-based cleanser mixed with honey and yoghurt is lightlt massaged on the face to remove impurities. Dry, rough patches are removed when rubbed with a thin layer of facial scrub from a mixture of aloe vera gel, herbs and egg yolk.

The moment after a bride gets engaged, the typical bride isn’t thinking of I do, but of things to do.  Women are notoriously good at putting everything else first, and worrying about themselves last. Without the help of a wedding coordinator, some women overlook the very things that will help them look their best on the wedding day.  While the joy of the day will surely bring the glow, a picture perfect complexion is the result of healthy lifestyle and appropriate skincare regimen.  Lastly, these cure-alls aren't just for those who got engaged, but for those who who experience stres, which counts all of us.
