How to care for your skin in the run-up to your wedding

Bride

Q – How do I care for my skin in the run-up to my big day?

"You cannot ignore the benefits of drinking lots of water and eating your five a day, so get on board with both at least six months before the wedding. When it comes to your skincare, make you sure you remove your make-up before bed and cleanse, preferably twice a day, using a toner and moisturiser straight after.

"I recommend products that are PH balanced. PH 5.5 helps the skin to balance itself and not have to fight products that are too acidic or have too much alkaline. Breaking down the PH of the skin leaves it vulnerable to infections, acne, spots and dryness.

"For a base, use a good primer without silicon. I always recommend Illamasqua Matte or Hydra Veil Primer followed by MAC Pro-Longwear Waterproof Foundation."
