Wedding Day Skincare Prep

I've been harrassed and hounded by SK-II posts on facebook for quite some time because I'm a subscriber to their feeds. Being a bride-to-be, I was particularly drawn to this post that keeps reappearing on my newsfeed.



Like propaganda, bridal beauty and bridal glow are key words that keep appearing in my mind whenever I see this post being re-posted. I then find myself dreaming about dewy flawless and glowing skin come my wedding day. How my makeup will stay effortlessly intact  the entire day, with everyone revelling at my awesome bridal beauty. Gone are my unfortunate dark eye circles which were accumulated from months of insufficient sleep from wedding planning and the frown lines from guests who do not RSVP.

14 days eh... 14 days it shall be. I took up the SK-II proclaimed challenge and used only SK-II products from the 1st day of March.




Ok I cheated, there's a single Shiseido item lurking in the collection. That's only because my brand new Cellumination essence was sent over to hubby's place during the Guo Da Li! I'm not cheating with the Lancome genefique yeux pearl either! It's the best eye serum I've ever used till date! Sorry SK-II!

But in all serious-ness, my skin has been the best it's ever been. Maybe it's the my general happy bridal vibe telling my skincells to get their act together for this month, or it could be the SK-II but my skin feels and looks amazingly bright and smooth, less oily and just very glowy.

Pls do not stray from the present condition. I'll nurse you with more SK-II masks I promise! Just 10 more days of perfection...then you can give me a pimple, or not.

For brides getting ready for their big day, now's not the time to stinge on your skincare routine. Go treat yourself to a nice facial or a fancy box of masks!
But do not stray too much from your usual skincare if it has been working for you. Enhance your routine, but don't change it completely. You do not want to piss your skin off. And most importantly, hydrate hydrate hydrate! :)

Happy Prepping!
