Make a budget for beauty needs plus essentials and stick to it. Include your spa and salon sessions in this. Call a few make-up artists and see the prices for bridal package. Research your pre-bridal and bridal salons/ makeup artist well. Ask friends, internet et all.
Address your skin. Start getting regular facials. If your pocket permits, go to a dermatologist and get prescribed skin-care.
Also start using sun protection, under eye cream, hand and foot cream and night cream regularly. It may seem like a task but the soft skin will be worth it on your D-day.
Start collecting photos of your favorite hairstyles. Hair stylists recommend getting your hair trimmed every three months. But do no get anything drastic that might create a problem while making the juda or bun on your D-day.
Boost your health. Start eating vegetables, salads and fruits for that inner glow. No beauty treatment can help they way good food can!

Keep your skin hydrated – especially at night. Air conditioning at office can play havoc with your skin. Your skin repairs itself when you sleep; apply a night cream or a serum.
