The wedding season is about to officially begin, and brides set to marry in November and December are all set to seal the deal and steal the show! But as fun as a winter wedding might sound, the cold weather can also be merciless on your skin. Think dry and dull skin, flaky cheeks, and makeup that won't last on your wedding day. Sounds scary? Then worry not, as we have curated a list of skincare hacks and tips that the leading Bollywood ladies swear by, and all the brides-to-be need to start with them right now!
Deepika Padukone’s cleansing ritual
Deepika Padukone swears by discipline and believes that skincare always starts with a fresh canvas. If you're a winter bride, you need to start double cleansing at night—first with a cleansing oil or balm to melt away any traces of makeup, then follow it with a gentle hydrating face wash. This keeps the skin clean without stripping away moisture.
Alia Bhatt’s glow secret
Alia Bhatt's youthful glow at her minimalistic wedding was unmissable, but it did not happen overnight. The secret to her dewy, bouncy skin is gentle exfoliation. Brides-to-be should exfoliate twice a week with a mild rice-based scrub or a lactic acid toner, to ensure the makeup glides smoothly and your skin looks fresh in every shot.
PS: No last-minute experiments just before D-day!
Katrina Kaif's hydration mantra
If Katrina Kaif’s spotless skin is your bridal goal, hydration is the answer. Layer your skincare like she does—start with a hydrating toner, followed by water-based moisturisers for quick absorption. But before all of that, drink at least three litres of water daily (and keep doing this even after your wedding day!).
Kiara Advani’s golden rule
Even if your wedding is in the winter, SPF is non-negotiable. Kiara Advani never steps out without her sunscreen and she has all her reasons for it. A dewy-finish sunscreen will not just protect your skin against UV damage, but also give it that natural glow during your pre-wedding shoot.
Kareena Kapoor’s sheet trick
For that extra boost of moisture and nourishment, take the Kareena Kapoor Khan route and invest in some good-quality sheet masks. The sheet masks and under-eye patches, which the actress often flaunts on her social media handles, will come in handy especially after a long day of work, and for that last-minute glow up.
So, take a page from these celebrity skincare playbooks and level up your bridal skin routine with products suited for your skin type and skincare steps that gurantee a winter-ready glow.
