Top 4 Trusted Remedies for Brides with Dry Skin

January 19, 2025

Hey brides with dry skin! Check out these 4 trusted remedies to get that plumpy and hydrated skin back!

While the winters allow you to get cosy with your loved one under layers of blanket, sipping on some hot chocolate while watching your favourite flick, they take you way, way away from your shining and healthy skin. The frigid cold winds breeze around speedily causing our skin to become flaky, dry, patchy and itchy. This not only happens to the face but also to other parts of the body such as elbows, legs and more.

For brides who are in the midst of a dedicated skincare regime for their upcoming wedding, the season brings in a lot of altercations that might derail all the progress they have made. In winter, you will need an extra boost of care to achieve that supple and glowing skin. Well, what better than some tried, tested and trusted remedies to look like a radiant bride-to-be?

When it comes to the skincare crisis, my grandmother advised us to always rely on products available in our kitchen. I remember her being like this magician who helped heal my teenage skincare blunders with a magic potion she prepared in the kitchen. So today, Team Wedding Affair will be turning towards the kitchen and suggesting you top 4 trusted home remedies that will make your skin look as lively as before.

Aloha Aloe!

Aloe Vera! Doesn’t it sound like a spell they teach back in Hogwarts? Well, while the name of the plant is magical, its effects are as well. Aloe Vera is a holy grail for brides with dry skin. Just grind it in the mixer to achieve a serum-like consistency and apply it all over your face overnight. You are going to wake up with soft, baby-like skin in the morning. Additionally, for brides with a dry scalp, the aloe vera can also be applied on the scalp and strands for nourished hair.

Coco for Coconut Scrub

Pro tip: Coconut oil is the best makeup remover there is! Now, consider this, if coconut oil can remove your sturdy, waterproof makeup, then how effective will it be in exfoliating your dead skin? All you need to do is mix half a cup of caster sugar with a quarter amount of coconut oil and coffee. This will result in an exfoliating and hydrating scrub that will leave your skin feeling anew. While the sugar will exfoliate the skin, the coconut oil will hydrate it and the coffee will protect it from premature ageing.

Oiling Ointments

It is true that in winter, the skin needs extra layers of moisturisation that seeps into the skin and hydrates it from the inside. The best way to hydrate dry skin is by preparing a DIY serum by mixing 1 tbsp jojoba oil with ½ tbsp of argan oil and 2-4 drops of lavender oil. This vitamin-rich serum can be applied on your face, chapped lips and body for deeper moisturisation.

All Day Avocado

Winters are the best season for brides with dry skin to put on an enriching mask and sip on some coffee while watching their favourite chick flick. Face masks provide the skin with the extra nutrients it needs to achieve supple and glowing skin. To make a DIY face mask that is as effective as it is appealing, you need to mix ½ ripe mashed avocado with 1 tbsp yogurt and apply it in an even layer on your face for 15-20 minutes. After it dries, wash it with cold water and pat dry. This thick mask is rich in omega fatty acids and vitamins, perfect for dry skin.

Brides, follow these homemade remedies religiously for a span of a few weeks and achieve the radiant and glowing from-within skin that you have been dreaming of!
