Prepping For Your D-Day, Ayurveda-Style 

An Ayurvedic skincare regimen advocates three daily steps for flawless skin: cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturisation.

Start your morning every day with a good CEM routine that will remove dead skin buildup and gently remove all impurities and pollutants from your skin, while moisturising it to bring out the very best in you.

• Cleanse

  Cleansing your face twice a day will help you get rid of any residual dirt, make-up, and oil from your face. Cleanse your face with warm water, once in the morning after you wake up to clear the overnight build-up of sebum, and then, before going to sleep to remove the pollutants and dirt. It is also recommended that you increase the frequency if you are stepping out,  if the weather is humid and sticky and if you have worn a mask to prevent maskne. The best and most natural way to do this is with a chemical-free face cleanser to avoid dryness or breakouts.
  
  The Coco Soul Revitalising Face Wash, infused with virgin coconut oil and natural herbs, can be your best buddy in this part of the exercise. Created with Ayurvedic wisdom and organic virgin coconut oil, this face wash is like a splash of freshness on your face. With herbs like gotukola and neem, it gently cleans your face and provides adequate nourishment without any lingering dryness.
• Virgin coconut oil: Revered as an elixir in Ayurvedic wisdom, virgin coconut oil hydrates your skin and stimulates cellular repair.
• Gotukola: An organic herb, it fights cellulite and sagging skin to give you a younger appearance.
• Neem: Loaded with antibacterial properties and vitamin E, it gives you blemish-free and younger-looking skin.
  
  This au naturel cleanser will help you get a renewed and revitalised look by the time your wedding day arrives.
  

• Exfoliate

  
  
  For flawless and radiant skin, exfoliation is an indispensable part of a good skincare routine. Exfoliating your skin regularly clears dead skin cells and unclogs pores and impurities that conceal your natural glow.
  
  It is recommended that you use a natural and mild exfoliator that is free from chemicals like sulphates, silicones, parabens, mineral oil, sodium chloride, etc. as they can strip off the natural oils from your skin, causing dryness and itchiness. Instead, you should choose products that are certified to be safe on the skin and the environment.
  
  
  
  The Coco Soul Face Scrub is one such product that is MadeSafe-certified as well as 100% vegan. This natural face scrub, created using 100% organic virgin coconut oil and Ayurvedic herbs, works like a charm to give you clear and radiant skin.
• Virgin coconut oil: Rich in fatty acids and skin-nurturing compounds, it hydrates and nourishes your skin from within.
• Sandalwood: An exotic ingredient, it reverses sun damage and minimises age spots to give you a blemish-free glow.
• Venivel: A lesser-known but equally exotic ingredient, it removes excess oil and exfoliates the skin to give you a rejuvenated look.
  
  This luxurious face scrub purges surface impurities and works like magic to give you clearer, softer, and even-toned skin.

• Moisturise
  

  Come rain or shine, moisturisation is a must. Moisturisation softens dry skin and makes it supple by locking the moisture in your skin cells, thus reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Moreover, nourished skin is a better receptor of facials, face masks, and other skincare treatments that you may go for before your D-day. For best results, you must choose a moisturiser that is free from DEA, parabens, sulphates, silicones, sodium chloride, mineral oils, etc.
  
  Even though you’d want to spend all your time perfecting that gorgeous face, it’s also important to look after your body. Having supple, mositurised, soft skin should be on your checklist to look your absolute best. Look for products that list natural ingredients in their label and are infused with the magical properties of Ayurveda, like the all-natural Coco Soul Nourishing Body Lotion. Made with 100% organic virgin coconut oil and Ayurvedic herbs and spices, its lightweight consistency makes it ideal for oily skin and can soften even the driest skin. It is a genie of a lotion that melts on your skin to give you a nourished-from-within glow. Its exotic ingredients start working right off the bat to visibly moisturise and tighten your skin.
• Sandalwood: Reverses sun damage, minimises age spots, and gives you moisturised glowing skin.
• Welmi: A rich source of vitamin C, welmi fights dullness to reveal radiant and beautiful skin.
  
  This Ayurvedic moisturiser will cater to your sensorial luxuries and start a whole new love affair with your skin.

• Apply A Face Pack At Least Once A Week

  Start pampering yourself by applying a natural face pack once a week. This will give you the glowing skin for your d-day with a DIY formulation that your skin will love. One of the easiest packs you can make is with Fuller’s Earth or multani mitti. Mix it with a pinch of turmeric powder, sandalwood powder, and a few drops of lemon juice. Combine it to form a smooth paste  and apply it all over your face and neck. It's one of the age-old remedies that is sure to give you naturally radiating skin.

• Get Body Massages At Home To Release Muscle Stress

  Stress is inevitable when you are the bride-to-be! Although you have so much on your plate, taking care of your skin should not take a back seat. Instead, let the  stress take a back seat, and indulge yourself in a therapeutic massage. Coco Soul’s virgin coconut oil is your cooling, soothing, and nourishing massage oil! Heat the oil, light a candle and begin de-stressing yourself with meditation or yoga. Take some of the oil and gently massage it all over your body to relax your muscles and nourish your skin. The enriching ayurvedic elixir soothes your senses while restoring skin elasticity. 
  

• Start A Healthy Diet

  While taking care of your skin from the outside, don’t forget to take good care of it from the inside. Start following a healthy diet at least six months before your D-day. What you eat will reflect on your skin and you wouldn't want spots all around your face, would you? Eat your greens, enjoy your vegetables, detoxify with fruits, and build a healthy diet!

Quick Skin Care Tips For Brides-To-Be
