A religious skin care is a must for the brides-to-be, and having the right plan according to your skin type with a certified skin aesthetician is important. This would allow the skin plenty of respite and no unpleasant surprises henceforth to deal with, especially on your D-Day.

Start With An Exfoliating Routine

Use concealer as per the issues on your skin- red for green problems, orange and yellow for blue to purple problems and so on.
