Radhika Merchant is soon going to tie the knot with Billionaire Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s son Anant Ambani. The wedding festivities kickstarted yesterday with the traditional Gujarati Mameru ceremony, where Radhika Merchant stole the show with her looks. She was dressed in a pink and orange bandhani chaliyan choli paired with her mother’s vintage jewellery. Radhika Merchant’s outfit definitely slayed, we couldn’t help but swoon over her gorgeous bridal glow. While we may not have tons of money like the Ambanis and the Merchants to spend on our skincare to achieve the coveted glow, we definitely have our budget alternatives,
Here are 5 things you must start doing right away if you are a bride-to-be
1) Green Tea Ice Cubes – Instant Refreshment
First brew green tea, pour it into an ice cube tray then freeze. Rubbing these ice cubes on your face can reduce puffiness, shrink pores and give your skin a refreshing boost. Green tea contains antioxidants that combat inflammation leading to better skin health.
2) DIY Sheet Masks – Custom and Cost-Effective
Make your own sheet masks by using cotton pads plus your favourite serum or essence. Dip cotton pads in serum then put them on the face for about 10-15 minutes. Thus, this ensures proper absorption of nutrients into the skin hence providing you with plump glowing skin without having to spend thousands in a salon.
3) Aloe Vera and Vitamin E Night Treatment
Mix some freshly obtained gel from an Aloe Vera plant with a few drops of Vitamin E oil then put them onto your face before going to sleep. Moisturization is guaranteed by aloe vera while vitamin E helps heal damaged cells thus guaranteeing deep nourishment, which is a must need if you want your makeup to glide on like butter.
4) Turmeric and Sandalwood Paste – Traditional Brightening
Take some amount of sandalwood powder and add a pinch of turmeric then mix with rose water. Apply it on the face for 15 minutes before washing off. The mixture helps to clear your skin tone while preventing blemishes. It also helps reduce the appearance of dark sports and lighten sun tan, which all the brides would want to avoid before their wedding. Because which bride wants to deal with sunburn?
5) Cucumber and Mint Toner – Cool and Calm
Blend cucumber and mint leaves, and squeeze out every juice from them. This serves as a natural toner that leaves your skin refreshed and reduce the appearance of large pores. The cooling agents present in cucumber and mint can be very useful in soothing and calming new zits on the face.
Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani will tie the knot on July 12, at BKC’s Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The wedding will be followed by Shubh Ashirwad on July 13 and Mangal Utsav on July 14.
