Daily regimen

Develop a daily regimen which you would follow twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. Bridal skin preparation is all about hydration and targeting any specific concerns. Instead of "cleanse, tone, moisturise" which most articles would suggest, I recommend "cleanse, serum, moisturise" as the bare minimum - although, feel free to add a toning step if you wish to.

You should use products suitable for your skin type. However, these few tips apply to most skin types:

• If you have been wearing makeup, "double cleanse" in the evening. The first cleanse removes the makeup, and the second cleanse is the thorough cleanse that removes all the other impurities.
• Focus on hydration. Even oily skin will benefit from hydration. Choose a serum containing hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate.
• Wear SPF everyday. It helps to minimise the drying and aging effects of UV rays. Find out more about sunscreens here.
• Avoid ethanol (often listed as alcohol denat. or SD alcohol as an ingredient) if possible. When present in high concentration it can be drying to the skin.

Do a mask every day

A mask is an intensive treatment for your skin. Usually people think about masks as a once-a-week thing, but if you want your skin in top condition on your wedding day, you should start doing your mask daily. It is not a typo - I really mean daily. The mask should fit into your evening regimen between cleansing and serum application (unless you have time to fit one in in the morning as well!). You can alternate between sheet masks and cream masks if you like. Again, focus on hydration, and any other specific concerns you would like to address.
