8 Crucial Ways to Avoid Wedding Day Beauty Disasters
Don’t change your beauty routine
This one is incredibly critical. A new moisturising cream may be tempting you. but could lead to a allergic reaction that leaves your face red, swollen and even blistering. This applies to suntan lotion, soap, roll-on deodorant and even baby wipes. You cannot afford to take a chance when it comes to your wedding day beauty. Stay with pre-wedding cosmetic treatments you know work well for you.

Stay out of the sun
Now is not the time for working on your suntan. Avoid exposure and be sun smart if you need to be outdoors. It doesn’t take long for the Australian sun to bite.
Sunburn is horrendous, especially if your wedding dress mismatches your tan lines! It can also ruin your honeymoon night! Avoid wedding day disasters. Stay out of the sun.
Skip the sunscreen on the day
Applying sunscreen is essential for everyday outdoor activities. But sunscreens will reflect sunlight and camera flashes, leaving your face looking pale and shiny in photos.
Do not even think of exfoliating your skin
If you forgot to exfoliate your face a few days before your wedding day, do not even think of doing it on your wedding morning. Without time for sensitive new skin to recover, exfoliation can turn your hard-worked-for wedding day beauty into a recipe for disaster. Especially with long exposure to sunshine. Avoid exfoliating and enjoy the day.
Do not wash your hair in the morning
Hair needs to be at least a day old for it to be easily manageable and hold a hairstyle. You should therefore avoid washing it on the morning of your big day.
Keep the tissues handy
Tears of joy are likely to flow, as emotions run high. Keeping tissues close by and dabbing at the side of your eye will avoid your makeup running down your face. Oh, and make sure the mascara you apply is waterproof!
Don’t forget everyone else!
Make sure to get your bridesmaids professional hair and make up as well so everyone is looking their best.
Water is your friend
A few glasses of your favorite wine with dinner, or a champagne prenuptial breakfast may tempting. We recommend staying away from alcohol and drinking plenty of water during the 24-hour run up to the ceremony. This avoids feeling drowsy or faint during the day, and your hydrated skin will look it’s best in wedding photos. Let your stunning wedding day beauty speak for you first. Then celebrate with bubbly later.
