How To Get Glowing Skin Overnight: 7 Tips To Get Fair & Clear Skin Quickly

Let’s face it; planning a wedding is stressful and that stress certainly does not end once all your vendors are booked. The problem is, while a little stress may help us lose that last pound, it can also make our skin look dull and tired, and that’s definitely not what you want in your wedding photos!

So how can you ensure you look like the glowing bride with airbrushed skin that’s found the whole process a breeze? Well, besides finding a great makeup artist, it’s all about taking care of yourself and your skin.

Today, we’re answering your top pre-wedding skincare questions and revealing our top 5 tips to ensure you’re looking your best on the big day.

Let’s dive in!

While it may be tempting to rush out to the store in the weeks or days before your wedding and buy every “miracle” cream and serum available, it’s not actually a good idea to try a bunch of new products right before a big event.

Why? Because even if you have non-sensitive skin, it may react badly to a new product or to another product you use in combination with it, and at best give you a breakout. At worst, you could end up rashy, flaky, and itchy.

Instead, either stick to products you already have or test out new products at least a week before the big day. On the evening before your wedding set aside some time alone or with your bride of honor or bridesmaids to relax and work through your skincare routine.

Start by thoroughly cleansing your skin and cleaning away all makeup remnants. Next, use a toner to remove dead skin cells and adjust your skin’s pH to soften the surface layer ready to absorb moisture.

Next, apply a moisturizer or, ideally, do a hydrating face mask. Sheet masks are easy and leave you glowing, but use whichever form of mask you enjoy most. Finally, apply a generous layer of a vitamin-enriched moisturizer right before you go to bed and leave it to soak in overnight.

If you’re a few days out your best bet will be to follow our tips below and the routine above, but if you have plenty of time, establishing a great skincare routine well ahead of the big day is your best move.

If you can, start exfoliating, cleansing, and moisturizing your skin regularly six months before your wedding day.

Whether or not you’re trying to lose or gain any weight, try to eat more fruits and vegetables that will nourish your skin, exercise, and drink plenty of water. Now is a great time to invest in a great water bottle.

If you have the budget, schedule a monthly facial to do a deep clean and provide your skin with what it needs to give you a glow, and don’t forget to get enough sleep!

A great makeup artist will be able to cover minor blemishes, but eating well and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the best way to develop and maintain that beautiful glow on your wedding day (and beyond!).

You don’t have to go vegan or workout for an hour daily – just make healthy choices, do a quick workout or go for a walk, and drink enough water.

Planning ahead is the key to beautiful clear skin on your wedding day, so start getting professional facials six months ahead, if possible, but avoid invasive treatments too close to the big day.

Alternatively, do a facial once a week at home. You need to remember that how clear your skin is can also be down to your hormones and stress levels, so try to manage your stress and don’t panic if you have a breakout – a talented makeup artist can make those blemishes all but invisible.

It’s true; you are what you eat! If you’re determined to achieve glowing skin by your wedding day it’s time to give up sugary soda, fried foods, candy, and focus on eating as many nutritious wholefoods as possible. Add salads to your meals, drink smoothies, and add colorful veggies to your recipes.
