Every bride dreams of looking beautiful on her wedding day — glowing skin, shiny hair, and a natural charm that makeup alone can’t create. But that glow doesn’t appear overnight, and it surely doesn’t come from one facial before the big day. Dr. (Major) Gurveen Waraich from Garekars MD Dermatology Clinics shares a simple 5–6 month bridal skincare plan to help you get that healthy glow through daily habits, steady care, and the right guidance. So brides, grab your notes — here’s your easy, dermatologist-approved bridal glow plan.
Daily Skincare Must-Dos
Your daily routine is the base of your glow. Here’s what to follow every day:
- Sunscreen Always – Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, even indoors. Keep a travel-size one in your bag and reapply every 3–4 hours.
- Hair Care Routine – Go for a hair spa or deep conditioning treatment once a month to keep your hair smooth and frizz-free.
- Antioxidants & Collagen – Use Vitamin C or niacinamide serums and take collagen supplements (only after consulting a doctor) to make your skin firm and bright.
- Dermatologist Visits – Instead of trying many new products, meet a dermatologist early. They can guide you toward safe treatments that suit your skin.
Treatments to Start Early
Some professional treatments take time to show results. Start them 5–6 months before your wedding.
- Laser Hair Removal – Needs around 6–8 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Begin early for smooth skin before your wedding.
- Acne & Scars – Treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser help even out your skin, but they need time. Don’t wait until the last month.
- Stretch Marks – Microneedling or laser treatments can lighten marks on arms, thighs, or tummy areas.
💡 Tip: Always finish your last treatment at least 3–4 weeks before your wedding to avoid redness or irritation.
Supplements for Healthy Skin & Hair
Wedding prep can be stressful, and nutrition often gets ignored. Supplements can help maintain your glow, but always take them after talking to your doctor.
- Vitamin C (500–1000 mg/day) – Brightens skin and supports collagen.
- Glutathione – Improves overall skin health.
- Omega 3 (1000 mg/day) – Reduces dryness and improves skin softness.
- Resveratrol – Helps slow down ageing.
- Collagen Peptides – Keeps skin firm and bouncy.
- Hydration – Drink coconut water, infused water, or herbal teas daily.
Eat Right for the Glow
Your diet plays a huge role in how your skin looks. Try these healthy habits:
- Add Fermented Foods – Include curd, oats, kimchi, or bananas for gut health.
- Stay Hydrated – Drink 2.5–3 litres of water daily. Add lemon or cucumber for extra freshness.
- Try ABC Juice – Apple, beetroot, and carrot juice helps detox your skin.
- Drink Saunf-Jeera Water – Helps with digestion and bloating.
- Cut Down Sugar & Salt – Reduces puffiness and breakouts.
Lifestyle Tips for the Perfect Bridal Glow
Your lifestyle matters as much as your skincare. Small changes can make a big difference.
- Get Enough Sleep – Sleep 7–8 hours daily. Poor sleep causes dull skin and dark circles.
- Quit Smoking – It damages collagen and makes skin look tired.
- Exercise Regularly – Walking, yoga, or dancing improves blood flow and brings a natural glow.
- Limit Alcohol – Choose red wine or sparkling water instead of sugary cocktails.
- Manage Stress – Wedding planning can be stressful. Try meditation, journaling, or yoga to stay calm and avoid breakouts.
With these simple steps, your skin, hair, and body will be healthy and glowing by your wedding day — no last-minute panic, just pure bridal radiance.
