This belongs in Fashion & Beauty so I'm going to move it there. Please make sure you open threads in the appropriate forums.

Ok, i'm getting married in five weeks insha'Allah and I was all worried about the glowing/healthy skin as well. Plus I have realllly dry skin so i need to exfoliate a lot. So i finally started to do something about it and this worked for me, maybe it'll work for you as well.

First, get facials every 3-4 weeks leading up to your skin. No dermabrasion or anything, just a simple regular facial.

Second, in between facials I put this thing I bought from sephora like every 3-4 days. It's called "Sensative green apple peel" from juice beauty. My skin is super super sensative so I can't exfoliate normally but this is a great alternative. You just put this on ur skin and leav it on for 10 mins, rinse and ur skin will be sooo smooth! I never have dry skin anymore.

Third, moisturize! Get a nice one. A brightening one (this doesn't mean it'll make you white, this just mean's it'll even out ur skin tone).

Fourth, once a week i put on the White Lucent Mask from Shiseido. I've tried their other white lucent products - face wash was good but lotion sucked for my skin. But this mask is amazing. This is also the same mask they use whenever I go get a facial from shiseido.

Lastly, drink water and relax! No matter what you look like now u'll def. get that "glow" on the day of ur wedding! Every bride does

Are you doing the ubtan routine?

Nadz from u're threads and PM's I blv that you are over-doing it.. u're using too many products at once.. as well as getting too many treatments done. If u're getting peels/microderm done.. please don't use any home-made remedies. Please follow what u're derm says and don't apply anything extra to achieve a "glow".

As many company's claim and promise..either u get a natural 'glow' or u don't.. u cant force a 'glow'..just maintain a good skincare regimen and eat well.
