Will you get married soon, my friend? Are you looking for a pre-marital care routine?
Appearing with healthy, fresh skin on the wedding day is the dream of every future bride, and to achieve this dream, follow our article that was written especially for you, in which we will talk about everything related to the pre-marital care routine, from hair to makeup and from top to toe.
An Overview Over Pre-marital Care Routine
Your wedding day is your perfect time to shine, so you will want to appear like a shining star that radiates beauty to everyone present, and most importantly, you will feel your best, aren’t we right?
You should not think that taking care of your beauty begins only on the wedding day while you are sitting in the chair of your hairdresser and makeup artist. Rather, start now with your pre-marital care routine so that you can be sure that you will look at your best and the most beautiful of those present. Because we care about you, we have collected simple ideas and time plans for pre-marital care routines.
Whether you have six months, six weeks, or six days for your wedding, there’s always time to shine, right?
Why should you follow the Pre-marital Care Routine?
When you start planning your wedding, you will go through many pressures, including:
- Your fear of hair loss or its lifeless appearance
- Pale skin and boils
- Unhealthy nails
- Yellow teeth
- Your confidence in your complete appearance
Being about to get married does not mean that you have to change your appearance. Your partner has chosen you because he loves you exactly as you are. However, the period leading up to the wedding represents a wonderful opportunity to evaluate your health, correct your shortcomings, and take care of your health in general.
Do not be nervous, as excessive pressure at this sensitive time may lead to negative effects on your skin, hair health, nails, etc. Do not forget the other pressures that you may face before the wedding, which lead to a decrease in your self-confidence and self-esteem. To help you reduce the problems that you may face, we have used trusted references to make you feel more confident before your wedding. In this article, you will not find tips on how to lose weight, pressure on you to get Botox injections, or shame on the appearance of pimples. Instead, we will give you real answers on how to improve the health of your skin, hair, nails, and teeth, as well as tips on how to support and strengthen your mental health.
Before 6 Months of the Wedding
You may think that it is too early to start preparing for a party a full year before it, but the earlier you start, the less stress you will have and the opportunity to try more effective treatments.
Skincare
Book an appointment with a professional dermatologist, and go and consult him about your condition. He knows more than anyone about the health of your skin, nails, and hair. He can make your skin healthier and more radiant, but he needs enough time to do that, so go as early as you can.
Dermatologists advise people to go ahead of time, and not limit themselves to treating a list of symptoms in just a month or two! Because skin care takes some time to produce results.
“It takes two to three months to take good care of your skin to start showing results, and the sooner you do it, the sooner you’ll be able to see results that slowly improve over time,” said dermatologist Karen Campbell, MD.
It can take 4 to 6 months to properly and completely treat acne
Since you have enough time, you can try many treatments to see how your skin will react to them, such as laser treatment to remove scars and pigmentation and improve the texture and appearance of pores, or dermapen treatment.
Create an effective care plan for your skin, and contrary to what some girls think, less is better when we talk about caring for your skin, because applying too many products will lead to clogged pores, inflammation, irritation, and the appearance of pimples.
Your doctor can emphasize what is called the Holy Trinity:
- Vitamin C antioxidant serum (can be applied to the area under the eyes)
- Retinol
- Effective brand sunscreen.
The beauty of this time is that it is far from the wedding, so you can learn about and try many different treatments and find out which of them are beneficial for your skin and which of them cause sensitivity.

Hair care
If you have hair loss for any reason, go to a dermatologist to help you determine the cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Your hair loss may be due to stress or due to taking a specific medication, or you may be asked to undergo iron tests to find out if you are suffering from anemia, and prescribe appropriate treatments to grow and increase hair vitality, depending on the case.
Go as soon as you can because the process of growing hair and maintaining its health takes a lot of time to take effect.
Since it is early, you can search and choose a professional hairdresser in your area that you have tried previously, or that you have seen his work on his Facebook page, or that your trusted friend has suggested to you. You can also ask him for advice about the length and density of your hair, how to take care of it, and whether you will have to wear hair extensions or not. Ask about the hair color that suits you and the dye that you should apply if you want to change its color, and you can discuss with him the method of styling hair that suits the shape of your face.
You will indeed avoid cutting any inch of your hair to maintain its natural length at the wedding, but this could lead to its weakness and breakage. We advise you to cut and style your hair regularly.
Apply nourishing hair serums that make it soft and detangle.
Ask your hairdresser to know how often you should go to him, and what products you should use to take care of the health of your hair.
Body Care
Shower gel
The bride must apply a pre-marital care routine to her entire body, treating her facial skin and not forgetting the skin of the rest of her body. You must add a refreshing and moisturizing shower wash to your shower routine to clean your body of the sweat and dirt that has accumulated during the day. Here are some examples:
- Salicylic acid cleancer, if you have pimples on your body
- Vitamin C cleanser, if your skin tone is dull
- Lavender-scented cleanser, if you’re feeling stressed
You can consult a pharmacist, doctor, or your friend who tried and found a nice type of lotion, and after showering, use an original moisturizer for the body.
Hair removal
Now it’s time to talk about hair removal, as it is the most important thing to do in your pre-marital care routine. There are many ways to remove hair, including:
- Razor blade: This tool cuts hair only to the surface of the skin, causing hair growth cycles to differ from each other, and hair grows at a faster rate.
- Waxing is an ideal method to give you smoothness for a long time and regulate hair growth cycles. If you use a razor, you may need to remove hair with wax several times until you get full hair that grows in the same cycle. Start hair removal using wax and stay away from the razor completely.
- Laser: You can start laser sessions from now because it takes a long time and a certain number of repeated sessions until you find the desired result.
Exfoliating and tanning
Do you have differences in skin tone and complexion? Are areas different in color from other areas?
The solution is to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin, using homemade ointments or mixtures. You can consult your dermatologist to find out which type of exfoliation routine is suitable for you, or ask one of your friends who has tried exfoliation previously.
Now that you have gotten rid of the obstacles, we come to talk about tanning. When you want to use different tanning products without exposure to the sun, you must follow the following steps:
- Wash the skin well with water to remove dead skin cells, and exfoliate areas of thick skin, such as elbows, knees, and ankles.
- Apply the tanning product to your body parts, such as your arms, legs, and torso, and massage in circles.
- Wash your hands well with soap and water after massaging each part to prevent discoloration of your palm
- Massage from wrists to hands, and from ankles to feet.
- Stay away from the joint areas as they absorb more of the tanning product, and if they accidentally get stained, wipe them away with a damp towel.
- Wait about 10 minutes before putting on clothes so that your body dries. Wear wide, loose clothing
- Avoid activities that cause sweating for three hours.

Nails care
Nails are one of the things that should be taken care of most in a bridal appearance. If you suffer from broken and brittle nails, perhaps you should go and get anemia and vitamin B tests.
You can buy nutritional supplements for hair and nails at the pharmacy, and if you want healthy, shiny nails, buy topical treatments, such as a nail strengthener or a moisturizing skin serum that prevents brittle nails.
You should not forget to take care of the softness of your hands, as it is the basis of the beautiful appearance of your nails. Buy hand-softening serums and moisturizing creams that are suitable for your skin and prevent dryness and cracking.
Oral hygiene
Many brides forget to take care of the appearance of their mouth and neglect this topic, but my butterfly, the appearance of the mouth is one of the most important steps that must be followed in the pre-marital care routine and made sure to do it before the wedding because you will smile a lot on the wedding day and take a lot of photos. Why spoil your photos while you can take care of the appearance of your teeth, knowing that you have a lot of time to do so?
Follow these simple steps to keep your teeth clean and shiny:
- Brush your teeth two to three times daily
- Use dental floss as much as you can
- Use a toothpaste that contains whitening two or three times a week
Call your doctor and book an appointment to examine your teeth and take appropriate steps to care for them, such as toothpaste repair, whitening, and other treatments.

One week before the wedding
There are many things to think about and make sure of when following the pre-marital care routine. Do not be afraid Farashti. A lot has gone and a little remains and the countdown to the long-awaited day has begun, so be patient.
Building confidence
Stay as active and enthusiastic as you were last week.
Tell yourself that you are beautiful, and be proud of everything you have done so far to support your confidence more. Remind yourself that you are important and that you are beautiful inside and out. Thank your fiancé, your family members, and your friends, and show your gratitude because they stood with you and helped you during your journey in following the pre-marital care routine. Most importantly, repeat the positive phrases within your ears.
Skincare
You don’t have time to try something new. Just drink plenty of water until you overcome bloating. We advise you not to show any negative reactions to anything, and to continue with your routine and have healthy skin instead. This is what will benefit you and make your appearance glow at the wedding.
Body Care
This is your last chance if you want to remove body hair. Removing hair a week before the wedding will make it soft, ready, and less sensitive.
If you want to have a brown skin color, use self-tanning products and skin tanning spray, or whatever type it is. The most important thing is to apply it two days before your wedding because this will allow the color to develop and fade, making its appearance more natural. Pay attention to applying original moisturizers to achieve moist and soft skin

Hair care
There is not much to do at this time. Make your reservation with the hairdresser you chose based on previous experience or the suggestion of one of your trusted friends, dye it if you want, and pamper your hair by washing it with a luxurious shampoo and applying appropriate moisturizers and nourishing serums.
Nails care
Rest your nails and leave them unpainted at this time. Make an appointment with a ladies’ beauty salon to have your nails painted a day or two before your wedding.
If you want, you can paint your nails yourself.
Oral hygiene care
There is no major change in plans, just continue with the care routine you followed previously when whitening your teeth, and consult your doctor when necessary.
Makeup routine
You should leave this section in the hands of your hairdresser, but if you like a certain type of makeup and think it is suitable for your face shape, share these ideas and discuss the styles that can suit you with your hairdresser, until you reach an agreement about the makeup that you will wear at the wedding, and inquire about anything to worry about, and most importantly of all, confirm your reservation date on the day of the party.
Don’t forget Farashti, makeup was created to enhance what already exists. You are beautiful no matter who you are.
One day before the wedding
You have completed all your pre-marital care routine plans, which include skin routines, body care, and other important things, and now it is time to relax as much as you can, practice deep breathing exercises or meditation exercises, and get enough sleep.
Do not try any intensive treatment that may cause allergies, redness, or dryness of your skin and the appearance of pimples the next morning, such as a peeling mask or clay mask. Stay away from self-tanning products and do not cut your bangs yourself. Leave this matter to its owners.
Pamper yourself and paint your nails yourself or at a women’s beauty salon, if you have not done so previously, and keep your skin moisturized.
Believe in all the difficulties you have overcome, repeat positive sentences and confidence exercises, and go to bed early because tomorrow will be busy.
Wedding morning
Today is your day, my butterfly! Start it with love, optimism, and enthusiasm. Wash your face, moisturize your skin, take a quick shower, and go to your hairdresser with clean hair. Pamper yourself and enjoy the freshness of your skin that you have worked all these days for. You have suffered a lot and tried many treatments in your pre-marital care routine, and you have worked to strengthen your confidence, for yourself, and your mental and general health, and it was not easy for you to be here!
Now it’s time to celebrate! Repeat positive sentences and assure yourself that you are beautiful.
Whenever you have negative thoughts and fear, think about your friends and family members who came to the wedding to provide support and celebrate the love of your life, and that they are not here to criticize your appearance. You are your own harshest critic, so you should think carefully about the way you talk to yourself on the morning of your wedding. Make every effort to be kind to yourself, and turn your inner voice into self-compassion, then you will feel less pressure and accept yourself as you are.
In conclusion, we hope, my butterfly, that our article has reached you well before your wedding, and that you have benefited from it and have already started your pre-marital care routine, as it is the secret to perfect brilliance on your special day.
