Beauty session with brides
Face wash: Use mild face wash (aloe vera for dry skin or mint tulsi for oily to normal skin) at least twice a day. Always apply aloe-vera based skin toner after every face cleansing.
Sunscreen: Use a mild sunscreen with SPF 15-20 preferably with relaxing and calming aroma oils like jasmine, motia, ylang ylang and rose.
Scrub: Never use hard scrubs like walnut which may make your skin sensitive and allergic. Scrub beads with jojoba oil, wheat germ oil and vitamin A are highly suitable.
Homemade oil: Add half teaspoon each of jojoba oil and avocado oil with two drops each of Vitamin E and A, one drop each of orange aroma oil and sandalwood oil. Mix together and apply 3-4 drops daily on the face which shall soothe your facial tissues and calm the nerves. This practice should be started one month before the wedding.
Hair: A head massage with hot oil - a mixture of caster oil, sunflower almond oil and coconut oil in equal measure, infused with a few drops of an essential oil like ylang ylang, is known to be good for the hair and acts as an aphrodisiac. Glycerin with malt vinegar can also be added to balance the acid content in the hair. This massage, followed by a hot towel wrap will help the oil to penetrate into the scalp.
Hands and feet: Soak your feet in warm water to which rock salt, lime juice and shampoo have been added. After a good long soak, scrub your feet and apply night cream before going to bed. The following morning, application of a moisturiser on the feet after a bath is advised. Start the nail cultivation therapy as well. Apply a coat of transparent nail polish every day for a week until you go back for your next manicure and pedicure.
Diet: The prescribed diet will include a drink comprising honey and lime juice added to hot water every morning. Stick to a fruit or vegetable diet for at least two days every week.
Body massage: Almond oil with a few relevant essential oils form the base ingredient of the massage medium. A sandalwood body pack with honey, milk, jasmine oil, rose oil, orange peel and a tablespoon of almond oil mixed with sandalwood powder is prepared and applied. Take body massage with stimulating aroma oils once in a fortnight with steam detoxification. Body scrub with dead sea salt also helps in tissue and muscle relaxation and removes dead cells, dried skin oil and other skin deep impurities bringing back the lost sheen and gloss of the skin. A few drops of tea tree oil acts as an antiseptic after waxing.
Say no to skin allergies: If the bride suffers from skin allergies and skin rashes and eruptions like pimple, acne then she must prepare a spray bottle with two drops each of tea tree oil and patchouli oil with 250 ml water and after thorough shaking, apply this spray on your face at least twice a day . This shall make your skin flawless and glowing on your D-day.
For disorders: Taking aroma steam with basil or eucalyptus oil in the day time relieves congested muscles, tissues and tones them and also helps in sinus disorders. Create your own room aroma before going to bed with one drop of either jasmine, lavender or sandalwood oil either through diffuser, candle or by putting the drop on the pillow. If you are having a work schedule which requires high concentration, use basil, lavender and lemon grass aroma oils (one drop each mixed together) and spray in the room in the morning. Never use before sleep.
