One of the greatest things about Las Vegas is that the weather is almost always perfect for a wedding! And even if those of us natives are shivering in our boots come December, pretty much everyone else from other parts of the world think it's pretty damn nice outside!
Regardless of your personal feelings regarding the temperature, it's no secret that the hard air and cold temps of winter and wreck havoc on your skin. If your a winter bride and coming up on that special day, here's some idea's to make sure your flawless no matter what the meteorologist says:
1) Keep hydrated. Ok, this one is a gimme, you should always keep hydrated, but water is especially important during those cold winter months when the wind smacks against your tender lips and face. The cold air wants to practically air-dry your skin out so don't let the lack of sun fool you into getting lazy with your skin care.
2) Exfoliate. Again, those pesky dry temperatures threaten to get the best of you and your skin. Exfoliating at least once a week helps remove all those scaly cells that have built up on the surface from your last ski trip. With the wind-warriors gone, your moisturizer can then penetrate full force and really get down to where you need it the most. Also, a build up of dry skin can make putting on makeup a rolling, flaking, cracking nightmare. Help your artist out. Exfoliate.
3) Accept the fact that you are going to be pale and stop trying to overcompensate for it. It's completely natural for us to lose our hard-earned tan during the colder months. If you wanted to be a beachy tan bride you would have planned a summer wedding, right? Instead of glooping on the self-tanner, embrace you porcelain skin and show it off with a rich, ruby lipstick and a dark winged eye. Use this as a time to play up your key features, something that is usually forgotten in the sweltering months where natural is sexy.
Winter weddings are so wonderful and special. The world is just a big prettier when every business and home is decked out, and in general people can be a bit nicer when they are in the holiday spirit. Congratulations on your winter wedding and here's to a very Happy New Year!
