Wedding season is amongst us. Brides, far and near, are anxiously preparing to join in matrimony with their love of the life. But before brides, joyously, walk down the aisle, you must plan and organize the memorable event. In between wedding dress shopping and fittings, venue and invitation selections, floral décor picking and menu tastings and the all-important rehearsal dinner – brides must preserve one of their finest qualities – their skin.
Little or no time for monthly facials and chemical peels because you a detoxing and maintaining the figure “8” – don’t worry, there are a cost-effective solutions for these beauty woes.
Olay and My Black Is Beautiful have provided effortless skincare tips as part of their #BeAgeless campaign. Today, brides can have stunning beauty with ease and style. The premium skincare brand, Olay revitalizes any woman’s skin to reveal flawless and rejuvenated beauty – effortlessly.
Look Well Rested
With sleeping less becoming the new normal, this can cause a disruption within your body’s circulation system where it can’t get rid of toxins that cause dark circles under the eyes, a common issue for African-American skin. Instantly brighten your eye area with Olay Regenerist Luminous Dark Circle Correcting HydraSwirl Eye Cream. It uses a distinguished dual-swirl formula with a gel to hydrate and a cream to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Protect Your Skin
African-American skin has a higher concentration of melanin, which offers some natural protections against sunburn and premature aging. Though darker complexions do not visibly burn, sun damage can still lead to uneven skin tone, and worst-case scenario – cancer. With your newfound busy schedule, it can be difficult to remember to provide additional protection for your skin. Always include Olay Regenerist Luminous Brightening & Protection Lotion with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in your purse or diaper dag, so you can remember to apply protection while on the go.
Drink Plenty of Water
Studies show that more than half of your skin is made up of water. And, when your skin doesn’t receive a sufficient amount of water, it can become dry, tight and flaky – signs of dehydration. Keep your skin hydrated and radiant by consuming at least 8 glasses daily. Water is also essential to clean and vitalized skin by ridding the body of toxins and impurities that can cause acne.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
After finding time to take a warm shower and wash your face (try Olay’s Brightening Cream Cleanser), it is important to replenish your skin’s essential oils that may have washed away with dirt and other debris accumulated throughout the day. For use, day or night, Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream instantly energizes, hydrates and deeply penetrates the skin’s surface to reduce the appearance of dark spots and restore its natural glow.
Pamper Yourself – Overnight
Once your little one has drifted off to sleep, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy “me” time. Pampering yourself with a facial is always a great idea with Olay Regenerist Luminous Overnight Mask. This gel-based mask absorbs throughout the night and is formulated with vitamin B3, mulberry extract and humectants so you can wake up to radiant, glowing skin.
