How to prep your bridal skin before the big day
As a wedding is planned months in advance, your to-do list should include taking meticulous care of your skin before even thinking about your make-up. Begin months before the big day. Certain routines will become daily habits that will last long after the wedding! The secret? Cleansing and moisturising.
