Winter weddings are beautiful for the photographs but brutal for the skin. Brides, check out these skincare must-haves to have healthy winter skin for your wedding!
Winter is one of the most beautiful times of the year. With misty skies, dew landscapes and colourful autumn vistas, weddings during this season are no less than ethereal. As graceful as winter is to weddings, it is not to the Indian skin. Redness, dryness and itchiness are just some of the skincare problems to-be brides face during the winter season and to ensure that your wedding day skin glows as bright as you, you need a solid, fool-proof skincare routine.
To avoid any skincare troubles during your dreamy winter wedding, Team Wedding Affair has compiled a list of must-haves that will help you achieve glowy and healthy winter skin.
Gentle Face Cleanser
During the winter season when the skin is already fighting against the harsh temperatures and cold winds, it is important to use products that don’t strip off the skin’s natural layer. Therefore, rather than using harsh exfoliating cleansers, consider using cream or gel-based cleansers that are if possible, soap-free. These will clean your face without removing the protective lipid barrier.

Nourishing Moisturiser
To have healthy winter skin, you should first and foremost invest in a creamy and nourishing moisturiser that adds elasticity and hydration to your skin. Pair it up with a good serum and you are ready to rock that dewy skin!

Thick Body Butter
Brides, winter skincare is not just limited to your face and neck. You can be wearing that stunning backless blouse with a dry back right? Therefore, another must-have for the winter is a rich and creamy body butter preferably including natural butter like shea or cocoa and oils like coconut or jojoba. Lather your skin with body butter after a bath and enjoy soft glowing skin during your wedding!

Moisturising Lip Balms
One of the key elements of winter skincare that many brides forgo is good quality, moisturising lip balms. If you think a good lipstick is the solution to all your lip problems, think again as the base skin of your lips can only be replenished with the help of a good lip balm.

Hand Creams
Between all the wedding planning one of the body parts that gets ignored when it comes to skincare is your hands. The skin of your hands can get teared up and rough during the winters and thus brides and grooms both need to invest in nourishing hand creams that they keep reapplying regularly.

Multitasking Serums
Only moisturising your skin during winter is not enough. It is also important to nourish your skin with a thick and effective serum. Layer your skin with a serum filled with required active ingredients and watch the glow that you obtain!
