Brides Like It Dewy

On your wedding day, skin is your basis to beauty. My advice is to drink lots of water, eat fruits and vegetables, and moisturize well to prep your skin for your big day.

Apart from looking after your skin from the inside, you also must prep it on the outside. Brides like dewy skin, and that is achievable with the foundation that is most suitable to your skin type, mixed with iridescent face cream, and blended really well into the skin to even out your skin tone and not look like a mask placed on it.

Dewy skin is always best with highlights. So with this look, make sure you highlight your Cupid’s bow, inner corner of your eyes and your temples!

It’s What You Eat.

Often I get asked what beauty products to use to look more beautiful, younger, and healthier. I always respond with “it is what you eat”. Let’s focus on your ABC vitamins and take you through some of its benefits and sources.

Vitamin A helps boost your immunity system, your vision, bone growth, tooth development, and maintain healthy hair and skin. Found in (tomatoes, watermelon, passionfruit, mango, papaya, broccoli, sprouts, leeks, peas, pumpkin, spinach, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, cow’s milk, tuna).

Vitamin C is one of the most important of all vitamins, It plays a significant role as an antioxidant, protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation.

Antioxidants act to protect your cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body’s metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell damage that may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Vitamin C has also been found by scientists to be an effective antiviral agent. Found in (grapefruit, kiwi, orange, papaya, strawberries, broccoli, sprouts, green pepper, chestnuts, cod, goat milk, soy beans, edamame)

So pump up on your vitamins beautiful ladies.
