Bridal Beauty – Don’t forget your body!
As brides-to-be we tend to focus on beauty routines specific to our face but can tend to forget our body! At The Glowing Brides we want your entire body GLOWING and looking your very best on your SPECIAL day!
Start your daily body moisturising routine TODAY!!
As skin is our largest organ, it is vital that is receives some special attention. Hence, moisturising your body is essential to healthy looking skin.
But when is the best time to moisturise? It is recommended the best time to moisturise is right after a bath or shower. This allows the product to trap some of the water on your skin & use it to hydrate your skin.
How often? This can also depend on the seasons, as in the cooler months, our skin tend to try out quickly due to being inside with heating & usually hotter showers! So you may find you are moisturising more in Winter than Summer months.
Also, don’t forget to moisturise after exfoliating or shaving! Although must do beauty regimes, they tend to strip the protective barrier of natural oils. A moisturiser will help restore the the natural barrier.
Our TOP 3 tips:
1. Don’t forget your legs, arms, elbows & knees – these areas tend to try out quicker and need extra moisture.
2. Exfoliate before you moisturise – as this will shed away the dead skin cells & will allow your moisturiser to be absorb effectively, ensuring you have glowing smooth skin!
3. Your skin is delicate, so gently rub the moisturiser into your skin, to avoid irritation.
Do you know what skin type you are? Is it dry, oily, dehydrated, sensitive or prone to breakouts?
If you are unsure, we can provide you with the options best suited to your desired results!

Brides-to-be?! Eat your way to GLOWING skin! 10 AMAZING foods for clear skin!
The 10 BEST Food For Glowing Skin;
1. Get Glowing With Chocolate – Yes that’s correct, chocolate can be good for us! Cocoa hydrates your skin & dark chocolate contains high levels of flavonoids, a potent antioxidant.
But don’t over do it – a couple of squares a day should be enough to improve luminosity
2. Protect With Pomegranates – They are packed with poly phenols fight free radials & regulate skin’s blood flow.
How much? One pomegranate or a few glasses of juice
3. Walnuts – Soften Skin – Walnuts contain omega 3 essential fatty acids, which improve skin’s elasticity. They contain cooper, a mineral that boost collagen production.
How many? A handy each day should do the trick!
4. Prevent Wrinkles with Yogurt – The protein you get from eating dairy helps skin become firmer, so it’s more resistant to lines. Greek yogurt is more beneficial than regular yogurt.
5. Fight crows feet – It has been found that women who eat green & yellow vegetables regular tend to have fewer wrinkles, especially around the eyes. Carotenoids – an antioxidant found in yellow & orange veggies – can decrease skin’s sensitive to sun.
How much? 2 cups of peppers per day
6. Brighten Up with Sunflower Seeds! They may look tiny but these little seeds are packed with Vitamin E. These seeds keep your skin supple by protecting its top layers from the sun – therefore assisting in avoiding premature ageing & sun spots.
A bit boring just by themselves – had them to your morning cereal!
7. Zap Zits with Kidney Beans – they are high in zinc & studies indicate a correlation between blemishes & low zinc levels. Zinc has healing properities & studies have shown zinc to be as effective against acne as antibiotics are!
8. Drink Green Tea – Green tea is very high in antioxidants & have been found to reduce redness & fight inflammation
How much? At least 1 cup a day!
9. Even your Skin Tone with Soy! Soy contains minerals & proteins that have been shown to reduce hyper pigmentation. Drink a soy latte or eat some edamame & u may get a clearer complexion!
10. Look Younger with Oatmeal – oats play an important in skin healing. Incorporate oats as part our morning ritual – they take a while to breakdown – which keeps you full & don’t allow spiked blood sugar.

Exfoliate – Don’t Forget Your Body!
Do you have your dress? Will your arms be exposed? Legs? Chest?
Over the Winter months we tend to hide our body but it’s one of the simple yet effective ways, to have smooth & glowing skin!
We all tend to focus on facial beauty regimes but forget the body!
BUT just have a think about your dress. Will your shoulders, arms and legs be exposed?
For your BIG DAY you want to be GLOWING from head to toe, and this starts in the shower!
I recommend from 6 months out, you need to exfoliate your WHOLE body ONCE a week. Ensure you concentrate on your neck, shoulders, arms and moisturise as soon as you get out of the shower, so that by your wedding day, your body is GLOWING too!
EXFOLIATING is ESSENTIAL if you are having a spray tan! No bride wants a patchy tan, due to lack of skin prep!!
Which one is the best for you?! Contact us for advice & receive your FREE Bridal Body Beauty Blitz guide!

WANT GLOWING SKIN? Yes please!! For BEST results, cleanse MORNING + NIGHT.
WHY? MORNING: Over night our skin repairs & recovers, therefore in morning you have more dead skin cells to slough off & excess serum. Water only will NOT remove all debris, hence a cleanser is a MUST HAVE for clearer skin. It will help boost skin hydration & then moisturise to seal in the water.
NIGHT: At night, our blood flow is increased & needs oxygen to repair itself. Repair is most effective when you have clear skin as it allows better absorption of ingredients. If you want to minimise acne & wake up with softer clearer skin, make sure you don’t forget this step!
Only takes 1-2 minutes but has AMAZING benefits!
Any Q’s just PM me X
Next posts will look at what type of cleanser is PERFECT for you!

5 Summer tips to GLOWING skin
Anyone else feeling not quite BRIDE READY after Christmas celebrations?! Me! Want to have GLOWING skin leading into the NEW YEAR? Here are our 5 SUMMER tips to GLOWING skin!
1. DRINK UP! So simple but one of the most effective ways to get glowing skin, is to drink water. Do you know that 90% of women have dehydrated skin, which causes premature lines & wrinkles. Glowing healthy skin, starts from within!HOW MUCH TO DRINK PER DAY?!
A good rule to follow, is to drink about half your weight in ounces each day.
Eg: If you weigh 120 pounds (54kgs). You should drink 60 ounces = 1.8 litres/day
Your body & skin will both thank you!
2. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN: This is one of the most important ways to protect our skin. Excess exposure to the harsh UV rays, causes wrinkles, sun spots, premature ageing & increases your chances of skin cancer.
– Always use a day moisturiser with SPF 15+
– Put on a hat!
3. EAT your way to GLOWING skin: Ensure you eat plenty of vegetables (5 serves per day) & fruit (2 serves per day).
– Vitamin A – It is essential for the repair system of the skin cells. It helps prevent acne & gives the skin a radiant glow. Found in: carrots, leafy greens, lettuce & sweet potatoes
– Vitamin C – Your body not only needs Vitamin C to create collagen that produces skin tissue, but also required to heal scars. Found in: peppers, leafy greens, kiwis, citrus, tomatoes, broccoli
– Vitamin E – Is an excellent antioxidant preventing damage to the skin. It helps to revive the skin cells. Found in: Almonds (the best!), raw seeds, kale, spinach, plant oils
– Omega 3 – Fatty acids – They also support the normal healthy skin cell turnover that helps keep acne at bay. Found in: flaxseed oil, salmon (fish oil), soybeans, chia seeds & walnuts
Foods to AVOID for brides – to – be
– processed foods
– coffee
– alcohol
– high salt intake
– high sugar intake
4. INVEST IN A FACE MASK:
WHY? Main benefits: clarity of skin, cleanse, minimise pores, hydrates, exfoliates, improves tone.
WHICH ONE? Not sure which one is the BEST one for you?! Just contact us!
5. MOISTURISE: Over the Summer months, we have more moisture already on our skin from the temperature increase and increased sweating. Hence, our Summer moisturisers should be lighter & softer textures, so it doesn’t leave your skin greasy. If outdoors, find a moisturiser with SPF 15+ to avoid unnecessary sunburn.
