Hello lovely ladies! This post might get really long so be patient until you finish. I recently posted in the Facebook group that I am getting married and do you wish to see my skin care routine for wedding and you all were super excited, so here it is. These are the products I am using now and will continue to use until the big day. These are according to my skin type and regarding the problems I have. I am not a parlor person but then yes for the wedding I am planning to do some facials and polishes and I will update my experiences and opinions. Being a bride is too stress-full and everything shows up on your skin so its very important to keep it healthy and glowing. Well fiance does the job for that special glow and blush but the rest you have got to handle.
My Skin
My skin is too sensitive and stubborn at the same time, so me! I do not have any acne but my skin breaks out at that time of the month. It changes along with climate, gets too oily in summers and is extremely dry in winters. I have few spots due to pricking old pimples and yes, open pores too!
Cleanse : As always said, Cleansing is the most important step in your skin care regime and i use three different cleansers according to my skin's daily mood!
H2O water white advanced brightening cleanser
Price : 1450/-
Buy : Here
This amazing cleanser works good on my skin. It brightens up my skin and makes it soft and smooth to touch. It definitely does an excellent job of cleansing everything because I don't find anything else when I follow up with the toner, skin is definitely clean!
Ponds Pimple Clear White Multi Action Face Wash & Scrub
Price : 75/-
Buy : Here
This cleanser is not the best cleanser out there but it definitely works on my breakouts. My pimples are gone and skin is healed when I use this. It takes about a week for my skin to turn back to normal when I use this after a breakout. Skin is squeaky clean and is brightened up but the brightness vanishes after a couple of minutes and you are back to your actual complexion. It is a staple face wash in my skin care regime which I keep purchasing every time it's finish.
Clinsure
Price : 120/-

This one was recommended to me by a derm and she told me to use it five days before I am up for chemical peeling and microdermabrasion which she suggested me to get done, but I was too afraid to try anything new on my skin which involved chemicals and stuff right before the wedding but I got the cleanser and i have no regrets! This baby works beautifully on my skin which stopped reacting to cetaphil ages ago. Cetaphil was my go to cleanser but later somehow my skin stopped responding to it. This is amazing, cleanses my skin beautifully and also repairs the damage. I use this atleast twice a day, Love this!
Tone
Oraganic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner
Price: 345/-
Buy : Here
On my recent visit to Health and Glow I picked up this toner because i was running out of my biotique cucumber toner. This is not a miracle product but I decided to keep it my refrigerator along with my eye cream for that extra work! It works fine but is definitely not the best toner out there.
Scrub
Forest essentials Hand pounded organic fruit scrub
Price : 1450/-
Buy : Here
This scrub is a miracle product, It has so many good ingredients that you can feel the luxury you hold in your hand. It's 100% natural without any artificial color or fragrances. This thing doesn't break me out at all, I use this thrice a week for that extremely soft and smooth face. Love it.
Soap and glory The Greatest scrub of hall Instant radiance foaming face polish
My Friend got this from her recent visit to US and this is something I use almost every night as a part of my skin care routine, This is like a personal dermabrasion in your closet. its smooth, creamy but effective.
Eye Cream
When you have sleepless nights then the stress shows up and you wake up with panda eyes, so an effective eye cream is a must.
Vichy roll on eye cream : I keep this in refrigerator and when I massage the product for a good 30-40 seconds, The cold roll on and the product works wonders on my eyes. My magic potion in a tube!
Serum
Basically serum is a highly concentrated product which works instantly on the targeted areas and gives you faster results. Generally I use only one serum but since it is my wedding I slowly introduced another serum for much better results. Initially I used two serums one after the other every weekend and then every alternate days and now every night
Olay White Radiance Intensive Brightening serum : Brightens up my skin, works on lightening the spots. Basically my fairness facial in a bottle. I used this couple of times in the past and really liked how it worked on my skin.
Price : 1299/-

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser renew serum : I really don't need this at all. This is meant for people in their late 20's who are experiencing skin aging. My skin is oily so I have very less chances of aging in the next five years but the wedding is getting too stressful for me and I am worried it might show up on my face, so this is just a precaution. I am really liking the effect on my skin. It is kind of covering up my sleepless nights and irregular eating habits effect on my skin
