Moisturize!

The most important thing you can do for your skin is to keep it moisturized. This is especially crucial during the cooler months. The crisp air of autumn and winter can sap the skin of moisture, leaving it dry and flaky. Putting make-up on dry, flaky skin can be a recipe for disaster. Not only that, but dry skin looks older and shows every fine line and wrinkle. To be the stunning bride you always envisioned yourself to be, it's crucial to take excellent care of your skin.

Not all moisturizers are created equal. Finding a suitable skin cream depends a lot on the quality of the product itself, as well as your skin type. For oily skin, it's imperative to buy an oil-free product. If you're acne prone, a lotion containing salicylic acid is recommended. For sensitive skin, you may need to test drive several brands of moisturizer before you settle on one that doesn't irritate your complexion. Dry skin requires a product with extra emollients. A visit to the dermatologist may be in order if you're unable to sort your skin issues out on your own. Don't wait until right before you get married if you're having concerns. Of course you'll be glowing from the inside out on your wedding day, but it can't hurt to have beautiful, moisturized skin as well!
