Complete with the timeline (think months before the wedding)! Get ready to walk down the aisle with confidence and the most radiant skin you’ve ever had.
What is a Pre-Wedding Skincare Routine?
Before we delve into the specifics of your pre-wedding skincare routine, let’s address the crucial misconception. A lot of people think achieving that radiant “shaadi” glow is a 2-day miracle. Truth is - IT ISN’T. It’s a commitment to treating your skin with dedication and love. With little planning and consistency, you can achieve stunning results in a manageable timeframe.
To help you out, we’ve divided the pre-wedding skincare routine into three stages:
6 months
3 months
1 month before the big day
Each stage focuses on specific steps to improve your skin’s health and appearance. Let’s begin with the first and most crucial phase!
Phase 1: 6 Months Skincare Routine
Ah, the perfect window to lay the basis for your pre-wedding skincare routine. Here’s what you need to focus on in order to benefit your skin in both short and long term:
Embrace a balanced diet
You are what you eat! A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will provide your skin with essential nutrients it needs to thrive. Think of these as building blocks. They can help you achieve a healthy, radiant complexion. Limit consuming processed foods, sugar, and excessive dairy as these contribute to breakouts and inflammation.
Sweat it out
We bet most of our readers already understood what this tip is about. Exercise isn’t just about physical fitness. It’s a fantastic way to boost your skin health. Regular physical activity increases circulation. It promotes cell renewal and delivers oxygen-rich blood to your skin. Translation? A natural, healthy glow!
Hitting a gym for exercise can also help you minimize the appearance of blemishes.
Consult a dermatologist
Okay, there are still 6 months left until your shaadi wali raat. It’s recommended to visit a dermatologist weekly or monthly during this period. They can help you address any existing skin concerns you might have. They can provide personalized advice tailored to your specific needs.
This could include recommendations for treatments and lifestyle changes to achieve optimal skin health for your wedding day!
Hydrate like a queen
Yes, you read it right! We are advising you to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily. Water is essential for healthy, glowing skin. It helps in flushing toxins from your body and keeping your skin cells plump and hydrated.

Phase 2: 3 Months Skincare Routine
Congrats! You’ve successfully completed the first phase of your pre-wedding skincare journey. Noticed a positive change in your skin’s overall health? Great but you are not done yet. Now, it’s time to refine and polish your complexion for that extra bridal glow.
Next 3 months are all about focusing on specific concerns and incorporating targeted treatments into your routine. Let’s dive into them:
Prioritize stress reduction
Planning a wedding can be exciting - true. But it’s also undeniably stressful. It can manifest on your skin. How, you ask? In the form of breakouts, dullness, and irritation. Prioritize activities that help you unwind and de-stress. Meditation, yoga, spending time in nature, taking relaxing baths - all these can work wonders.
Exfoliate regularly
One of the most important tips to consider when creating a pre-wedding skincare routine is exfoliation. It plays an important role in removing skin cells and promoting cell turnover. It reveals a smoother, brighter complexion. Choose a gentle exfoliator suitable for your skin type and incorporate it into your routine 2-3 times a week.
For a natural and effective exfoliating option, we recommend considering Ekattva’s Glow-Up Ubtan. Made with a blend of gram flour, rice flour, red lentils, orange peel, turmeric, and bentonite clay, this face pack gently buffs away dead skin cells. All while offering brightening and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Suitable for all skin types, Glow-up Ubtan is a perfect addition to your pre-wedding skincare routine. Achieve that radiant and healthy glow!
Mask mania
For those who don’t know, face masks offer a concentrated dose of active ingredients for a variety of skin concerns. Look for masks that address your specific needs. Whether it’s hydration, brightening, or minimizing pores. Use masks 1-2 times a week for an extra boost.
Ladies can try our detox mud mask for deep cleanse and detoxification. It is plugged with mineral-rich bentonite clay, orange peel, and turmeric. This mask works wonders to draw out impurities and revitalize your skin. Our product is suitable for all types of skins. It will leave your complexion feeling smooth and glowing. The one you need for your pre-wedding prep!
Phase 3: 1 Month to Go
Okay, the big day is almost here! By now, your skin should feel healthy. Also, radiant (all thanks to the consistent efforts of the past few months). The final phase is all about maintaining that beautiful glow… About ensuring that your skin is perfectly prepped for flawless makeup application.
8 Hydration hero
Ah, water… The elixir of life… Most of us know that it is important for delivering nutrients to cells, safeguarding joints and organs, and maintaining body temperature. But do you know that it can also help with getting healthy, plump skin? Yes, it’s true! As your wedding approaches, increase your water intake by at least 10 glasses per day.
This will help in flushing toxins and keeping your skin hydrated. Thus, promoting a healthy, dewy complexion.
To directly improve your facial skin, incorporate Ekattva’s Rose powder into your pre-wedding skincare routine. It is known for its deep moisturizing and age-defying properties. It also acts as a gentle cleanser. How? By removing sun tan and soothing sun-damaged skin.
The finely powdered rose petals also offer a natural, calming fragrance. Use it and ensure your skin is perfectly hydrated and prepped for your wedding makeup to look its absolute best. Use it once a week for maximum benefits!
Prioritize restful nights
Another important tip to consider when creating a pre-wedding routine. We understand how all-consuming planning a wedding can be. But hey, don’t underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. This will allow your skin to repair and regenerate. When you’re well-rested, your skin will show it with a brighter, more youthful appearance!
Address last-minute breakouts
Even with the best skincare routine, occasional breakouts can happen. Just don’t panic! Instead, keep a gentle spot treatment on hand to address any blemishes that may appear. Apply it directly to the affected area. This will help in reducing inflammation and promote faster healing.
