A facial – 2 -3 months prior to Big Day

Skin


Some advise to go for a facial a week or two before d-day. Bad idea. A facila will typically cleanse the skin of all its toxins drawing out any impurities from under the skins surface. This may lead to a breakout of spots. A facial should be done approximately 2-3 months beforehand as it takes 6 weeks for a spot to heal completely.

Take regular exercise.
