Weddings are an extravagant affair in India and one of the most important events in a girl and boy’s life. You’ll need to look perfect for the camera not just the professional ones you’ve paid for but also on the random photos clicked by guests. While dadi-nani ke gharelu nuske are good as everyday beauty tips, wedding grooming is at a different level altogether. From pre-wedding facials and mani-pedi sessions to skincare routines and body spas, there are so many things that go into making a flawless bride and groom. Here are a few tops from Bangalore’s best beauty parlour experts, Femperials:
For The Bride-To-Be
Basic Grooming
Every pre-wedding grooming should begin with a skincare regimen and a fitness or nutrition plan. This includes staying away from processed and high-sodium fast food, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet, and following a moderate fitness routine. As for skincare, don’t forget to cleanse, tone, and moisturise every day and night. You must also exfoliate at least once every week. If you’re concerned about hair loss or acne, consult your doctor for multivitamin tablets like biotin, iron, and vitamin C.
Speak to your makeup consultant to put together a facial schedule ahead of the wedding. If your skin is in perfect condition, a monthly facial is enough. But if you have acne or hyperpigmentation, we recommend a facial every few weeks. Your last pre-wedding facial must be at least 10-12 days before the wedding.
Our Recommendation
We recommend working with reputed beauty parlour services in Bangalore, run by qualified aestheticians. The expert must recommend a facial that’s suitable for your skin type. For instance, traditional cream-based facials can cause acne-prone skin to break out. Similarly, steaming may aggravate rosacea and eczema. We suggest you stick to high-quality products. And most importantly, do not use any product without a patch test.
Manicure And Pedicure
Well-groomed hands and feet are part of an overall put-together appearance. Besides the face, your hands will be photographed a lot, so ensure they’re clean and in good condition. Book a mani-pedi session at least a week before the wedding to ensure they’re cut, filed, and moisturised. And if you are looking for a nail extension in Bangalore, contact Femperials.
Hair Spa
Hair spas help the hair appear shiny and gorgeous. Your pre-wedding haircare routine will vary depending on its condition. For instance, if you have thin hair, we recommend starting at least six months in advance as it allows enough time for hair growth. And if you have a dandruff or dry scalp problem, we recommend starting at least 3 months before the wedding. Common hair spa treatments include deep conditioning, hair masks, exfoliating treatments, etc. At our makeover studio in Bangalore, we recommend a hair-friendly diet for our brides. And don’t forget the age-old hair oil massage to nourish the scalp.
Our Recommendation
We suggest you eat a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, eggs, nuts, fruits, and seeds. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water. Don’t shampoo too much to prevent the scalp and hair from drying. We also recommend trying different hairstyles and hair extensions as a part of your bridal makeup in Bangalore.
Other pre-wedding grooming routines include body waxing, threading, neck bleaching, and underarm whitening. And if your budget allows, consider teeth whitening, hair colouring, laser hair removal, and body polishing.
For The Groom-To-Be
Basic Grooming
Just like the bride, the groom must also look and feel perfect for the wedding. Basic grooming includes hair care, shaving, skincare, and body hair grooming. We suggest you take up a gym membership a few months before the wedding, including a nutrition plan, dental work, and handling body odour. Drink plenty of water and cut back on smoking and alcohol to look and feel great.
If you’re concerned about hair thinning, consult our experts to discuss the different hair treatment options. You may also want to consult an aesthetician if you have acne scars or tanned skin.
Hair Style
A well-groomed hairstyle can make a significant impact on your overall appearance. Invest in a professional hair stylist to help you choose a hairstyle that matches your personality. Ask for hair care product recommendations and styling products. We suggest you do this at least two weeks before the wedding to allow the hair to settle. And if you’re planning to test a new look, do it at least three months before the wedding. Call +91 70227 24325 for an appointment with the best men’s hair salon in Bangalore.
Hair Trimming
Maintaining facial hair is an important part of pre-wedding grooming. You must shave and trim your facial hair, emphasising symmetry and neatness. And if you’re planning to sport a beard, invest in a good beard oil to nourish and smoothen the hair and prevent acne. We suggest getting a professional shave and using a moisturiser for a clean-shaven appearance.
Nose and ear hair must also be removed as they can be embarrassing. Ensure you don’t draw attention to unwanted facial hair on your D-day. If you have the budget, consider laser hair removal treatments to remove excess chest hair and back and arm hair.
Skincare Routine
Good quality skincare products prevent dryness, acne, and premature ageing. Keep your skin hydrated and well moisturised with a skin moisturiser. A few months before the wedding, establish a regular skincare routine that involves cleansing, toning, and moisturising. Use an under-eye cream to avoid dark circles and reduce puffiness.
At Bangalore’s best beauty parlour, we also have exclusive male grooming wedding packages that give you a healthy glow just before the wedding. It includes facials, oil massage, haircut upgrades, and tan removal.
Manicure and Pedicure
Well-groomed hands and feet help create a good impression and reflect your overall hygiene. Even if you don’t want a mani-pedi session, we suggest you trim and clean your nails. Use a good quality moisturiser for your hands and feet to prevent dryness and roughness. Don’t miss a pedicure if your heels appear cracked and dry.
