On her wedding day, every woman wants to rise above the ordinary and look better than her best. Dharini Turakhia, the owner of Fahrenheit, chain of Unisex L'Oreal Salons and Spas, makes this feat achievable by drawing out a unique wedding calendar for you
2 months before the wedding day
• For radiant glowing skin on the D-Day, start your facial treatments at the very latest 2 months before the wedding. If you are suffering from any skin problems such as acne, pigmentation, tanning etc. a minimum of 4-6 sessions is essential. For normal skin starting now is equally important so that you get used to a particular brand and test for any reactions to it.
• Start your body treatment by exfoliating and buffing the skin and aim for an overall even skin tone. A regimen of scrub, massage and wrap will work wonders for your skin.
• Indulge in hair conditioning treatments to rejuvenate and recondition your locks.
• Book the makeup + hair artist - if you haven’t already done so already. You have no time to lose. To choose the artist, ask for a trial and rife through their wedding albums to assess their previous work.
• This is the best time to finalize on the different looks as you are most likely to have frozen on the themes of the various functions and picked outfits for them by now.
• Fix on a daily home care mantra with your therapist for the next 2 months. The regimen should ideally include cleansing, toning, moisturizing and sun block for the day and a night cream or fairness emulsion for the night.
1 month before
• Follow-up on the recommended face, skin + hair treatments.
• This is a good time to get a haircut. Take into consideration the looks that have been decided and don’t go in for excessive layers or shorten the length drastically as it will hinder the final result. If in doubt, stick to a trim. A one month time frame to ideal to let the haircut settle in nicely before the D-Day.
• If you are planning on getting a bikini wax done prior to the honeymoon, now would be good time to trial it and test for reactions. Also that sensitive area would be in better readiness post the initial experience.
• Go in for a spa pedicure to get rid of cuticles, dead skin and to hydrate the dry feet.
15 days before
• Follow-up on the recommended face treatment.
• If you want to go in for some fabulous highlights to lift your overall look plus give you an amazing makeover - 15 days would be best time to do it. You would get comfortable with the new look plus it will remain fresh for the final day.
1 week before
• Follow-up on the recommended face treatment.
• Nail extensions work wonders on a brides hands specially if you have some difficulty in growing your nails. Nail extensions if done right look completely natural and can be further beautified by indulging in some gorgeous nail art. They can feel a bit heavy but a week would be perfect for you to get used to them.
• Reconfirm the date, time and overall look with the makeup artist.
3-4 days before
• Dedicate 4-5 hours or break up into two sessions for a complete head to toe grooming session. This should ideally include a hair spa, the final face treatment with bleach, full body wax including the bikini wax, manicure (buff and fill if you have extensions), pedicure, threading, full body scrub, massage and wrap.
On the day
• Start off by following the basic skin routine that you must have established 2 months in advance. Don’t try any new products or homemade remedies to avoid last minute skin mishaps.
• Start hair and makeup at least 2 hours before the appointed time to have ample time to get dressed.
• Relax, smile and enjoy the day.
