Summer bridal advice

-Jill Raposo

Finally! Summer is here! The prime time for weddings. Planning a wedding can often be so time consuming that you often forget the tiny details that could be crucial in looking your best. Here's a little list of some people you don't want to be...



BURNT BETTY: Lets face it, who doesn't want to be tan on their wedding day? Being tan is great but being sunburned...not so great. If you plan on tanning for the big day, DO NOT tan at least 4 days before the wedding. Bronzer is better than a burn so no worries if you haven't reached your ultimate tan-ness before the wedding. 

SWEATY SALLY: If you are a super sweater and your bridal glow is more of a bridal melt, no worries. I would highly recommend you skip the liquid foundation and go right for the Aqua airbrush. The aqua airbrush is a water based, matte finish airbrush that will allow your skin to breath and feel amazing while giving you total oil control. You may also want to pick up some oil blotting wipes. You can find them for $1 by ELF, at Target.


DEHYDRATED DEBBIE: With all that last minute wedding chaos you can often forget about what's important. Your health! If your skin is not getting the sufficient amount of water, the lack of hydration will present itself by turning your skin dry, tight and flaky. What happens next is a brides worst nightmare, breakouts!! Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day to clean and hydrate your skin from the inside out. 

TESTY TAMMY: As tempting as if may be to try treatments that you've never tried before, your wedding week is not the time to do it. Avoid facial treatments, waxing, and spray tans the week of your wedding if you haven't tried them before. Instead of waxing opt for treading instead. Threading is great because it does the job of waxing without the harsh side effects (skin peeling, rash, burn).

With that being said leave the rest of the work to your makeup artist to make you look phenomenal ;)
