✔️ When is the next time you'll be photographed? Is it for your best friends wedding, a family event or maternity shoot? 📸 Whatever the case may be, make sure you prep your skin, nails and hair so that you're glowing from head to toe! 1. Use a weekly body and face scrub in the shower and if your feeling extra fancy head to the spa for a relaxing facial 2. Add in a high intensity workout routine to get you sweating 2-3 times per week so your skin is extra beautiful 3. Get your hair trimmed at your favorite salon and pamper yourself with a deep conditioning treatment 1-2 times a week until the big day 💕💕💕 @zaynini ・・・ Pictured: The first time I shot a photo after getting engaged!

✔️ Are you engaged? I am and I didn't realize that I'd have so many people looking at my hands, not to mention all the close-up photos taken! I was super self conscious in the beginning. Don't be like me: My advice? Protect and prep your hands for those big moments. Here are some beauty tips to keep your 💅🏼 hands looking young! 1. Exfoliate your hands (optional). 💭 Do not do this if your hands are severely dry or chapped. This is more for if you have relatively healthy hands that just look a bit dull. 💭 Do this up to four times a week, being sure to moisturize immediately afterwards. 💔 2. Don’t use acetone-based nail polish remover. 💭Research has shown that acetone strips the nails and causes them to become brittle. It may also irritate the skin of your hands. 3. In dry heat be sure to use a good non-oily lotion to keep your hands hydrated. 4. Keep a good-quality moisturizer close-by at all times. 💭 This will help you remember to use it more often. For instance, keep one in your bag, one at your desk, and one at your bedside. 5. Know how to wash your hands. Use warm — not hot — water and a mild cleanser to wash your hands. Avoid soaps that contain fragrances, preservatives, and sulphates, which are drying. 💭 A mild, moisturizing, soap-free cleanser would be ideal. ・・・ Pictured: The first time I had my hands photographed after getting engaged to my fiancé Nathan! 💍 📸 Photography by @photosbyaaronchao @styledpopupseries with @quiannamariephotography 🌼 Flowers: @dubonfloraldesign Dress: @bcbgmaxazria ✨ ✨ @theknot @weddingwire @weddingtips #gilroywedding #styledpopupseries #weddingphotography #bridetobe #eastbaymua #morganhillbride #morganhillwedding (at Kirigin Cellars)
