Get that perfect wedding day look!
Anna Sachse, CTW Features
Looking and feeling good on your wedding
day might be harder than it seems, especially
given the amount of work and stress that goes
into planning. The experts have a handful of
quick, easy tips to help busy brides-to-be stay
or get healthy, inside and out.
STAY
CALM
AND
GET
MARRIED
1. GET GLOWING SKIN
The smartest path to a clear complexion is
exercising, eating healthy and drinking lots
of water. Water – as well as applying a bland
moisturizer – helps hydrate the skin, which
minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and
maximizes that glow. You also should slather
on the sun protection and avoid scrubs
that may irritate the skin. And if you’re not
pregnant, use a topical retinol or retinoid to
exfoliate.
2. BOOST ENERGY
Making wise food decisions – like lots of
fruit, veggies, and 6 ounces of probiotic-
packed yogurt, daily – can increase your
energy, help with regularity and keep the
sniffles at bay. And drink three cups of
green tea, daily. In addition to having
two-thirds less caffeine than coffee,
green tea has a compound called
L-Theanine that buffers the caffeine
to give you a gentle perk-me-up without
the jitters.
3. STAY CALM
Take time to take a break and care for
yourself, whether that means yoga, a long
walk or a bath. It’s impossible to work on
invitations when you’re in the bathtub. Focus
on the fact that a wedding may be a special
day, but what really matters is the marriage
that follows, when favors and seating charts
are long gone.
