What are your Bride to be beauty tips?

I've heard castor oil is good for under eye moisturising too - my under eyes are super dry and show up fine lines. I think I'll try it on both! I read an article on looking good in photos that I'm gonna try to use some tips from:

I give myself weekly facials x

Oh I'm trying that bicarbonate of soda scrub! I don't have great skin so treating myself to monthly facials, n bought some posh face wash/moisturiser etc need something good to scrub my back n chest with tho so will see if that helps!

Im dry body brushing most days, no idea if there's a right way to do it but it's supposed to help circulation n figure it must be a bit exfoliating

i also used a hair oil the other day, felt so so soft that day but back to normal the day after!

I love bicarb, I've had it in my bathroom for years but never thought to use it on my face until I read it somewhere a few weeks back. I brush my teeth with it once/twice a month everybody always compliments me on my white teeth.

Treacletart try coconut oil on your hair, it really does work. My niece has bad acne on her chest and back and has been using the bicard as a scrub, it has definitely improved xx

I'll them both a go! Top tips jes22 - if the bicarbonate works for me I will send you a massive virtual mwah! Lol

All great tips and I off to get some castor oil for the eyebrows today (victim of the 90's overplucking trend!). Desperately trying to grow them out to a nice shape at the moment.

I am using St Ives facial scrub daily and a body scrub on my arms as the tops of my arms have always been covered in loads of tiny red spots (looks like I have a permanent rash). Not helping much though so if anyone has any advise on that I would gladly receive it!

The tiny spots on your arms might be keratosis pilaris. I have it and there is no cure, but you can try coconut oil on it too, or a moisturiser with urea like Eucerin.

Steaming is great for getting rid of spots

Using a serum before moisturising is great for keeping clear skin clear.

Depends on your skin type, though - steaming makes my already pink-toned skin red and sensitised. I use tea tree oil on spots, but just a super precise application with a cotton bud.

Top tip from me...I read it somewhere last week and have been trying it with great results.

if you have thin or limp hair, and you use conditioner, they say the products you put in your hair make them heavy and reduce volume. They say you should CONDITION FIRST and then SHAMPOO SECOND. The result after a few washes (actually even the first!) is that your hair looks like it has been blow dryed. And it stays like that!! +++ volume with no back combing. Yipee

I work for Clinique as a Beauty Consultant & rgds skin treatment as a generalised rule, cleanse. tone. moisturise.

Wash your face twice a day (AFTER removing make up in the eve), tone with the appropriate product for you and moisturise. Yes. Even if you are oily. Oily skin tends to produce more oil if it is going without moisture as a replacement. Make sure you end your regime with SPF protection and good quality make up/clean make up brushes.

For those of you with spots etc I really do honestly recommend our Anti Blemish range. It has sorted my skin out over the last few years and got everything under control in a way no other products ever have.

The above advice is a huge generalisation as all skin is different... Any clinique consultant would gladly advise you with no obligation to buy and for free. You can then apply that knowledge to products you choose to use with your own research HTH

Otherwise, Bumble and Bumble Sunday shampoo is FAB on hair, and OPI Nail Envy will get your nails to grow strong and stay perfect in no time. I'm also extremely partial to a lush facemask... HTH too!

Drink masses of water in the run up, loads of it! Sounds obvious i know but it's amazing how much it brightens your face.

Hisgirl I also had the red pumps on the back of my arm, my belly and the tops of my legs I've always had them and hated them. I have tried every scrub known to man and the only one I've found that works is pulp fiction by soap and glory and a good moisturiser afterwards. I never used to moisturise thinking it was oily/spots but since it have been they've pretty much disappeared xx
