6-month ‘Beautcamp’ For Brides About To Tie the Knot
Get ready to glow on your big day! Our 6-month Beautcamp for Brides is designed to help you look and feel your best.
If you’re a bride six months out from your wedding day, you might be tempted to put your feet up and enjoy the last few months before the chaos ensues. In reality, these six months will fly by, and as the old saying goes, failure to prepare means you should be prepared to fail.
But that’s enough talk about failure; you’ll smash your use of these months. All brides want to be the absolute best version of themselves on their wedding day. While this may mean different things to different people, there’s a good chance you’ll want to go on some form of glow-up before the day.
If you’re looking to embark on a six-month ‘beautcamp’ to leave you feeling and looking 10 out of 10 on your wedding day, here are six areas to invest your time into to achieve just that.
Fitness
If you’re happy and confident in your body as it currently is, go for it. But the reality is that many soon-to-be wives like to set themselves a certain weight goal for their big day.
You might be looking to drop a dress size in time to squeeze into the all-important dress, or maybe you’re looking to tone up those arms and shoulders ready for the walk down the aisle.
Whatever your goal, don’t give yourself any less than six months to get your butt into action. This is the time to stop focusing on weight targets, body fat percentages, and muscle mass. Instead, start focusing on the necessary steps you need to take to get there.
Focus on short, measurable, and achievable goals that can then be put into a workout plan. These short-term targets will depend on your ultimate end goal but could be as simple as attending the gym 4 times a week or running a total of 10,000 each week.
Diet
If you are forcing yourself to follow a strict gym routine, you’ll probably want to integrate a strict diet too. A failure to do so could just lead to you canceling out all your good work in the gym.
It’s important to make sure your fitness and nutrition are aligned. If you want to build muscle, focus on increasing your protein intake to complement your weight training. For those looking to lose weight and burn fat, you’ll probably want to cut down on your intake of sugar and saturated fats to see the benefits of your calorie-zapping workouts.
If this sounds a little too complicated, keep things simple. Focusing on a healthy, balanced diet and plenty of water can never be a bad thing.
Skincare
What bride doesn’t want to have glowing skin as they walk down the aisle? And if you’re not happy with your skin six months prior, this is the time to start doing something about it.
This can be as simple as finding a moisturizer that works better for you or could involve slightly more expensive options, like booking yourself in for a monthly facial. For those based in locations like the UK that experience dull, rainy winters, you might even want to explore a facelift in Manchester or London to make up for the impact that a poor climate can have on your skin.
Tan
Many brides don’t just want their skin to be smooth but also tanned. Your first instinct might be to book a sunny holiday destination close to your big day, or worse, head to the sunbeds. While these options could leave your skin bronzed, they could also leave it damaged.
A better option for getting that tanned look is to look at professional spray tans, but make sure you experiment in the run-up to your wedding day to be certain that the outcome is what you’re looking for.
Dentist
It’s not just your skin that you want to be glowing on your wedding day; you’ll want to ensure your teeth are as white as your dress. With that said, don’t skip out on your checkups with your dentist. The last thing any bride needs on the run-up to their wedding day is a dental disaster.
You might even want to call on their professional teeth-whitening services while you’re there to make sure your teeth are in top shape come the big day.
Sleep
Finally, this one is a cheat code. But sleep is also the area of health and beauty that most often gets forgotten about. The benefits of sleep extend to our skin, hair, physical health, and even our mental health.
When planning your six-month glow-up, don’t underestimate sleep and ensure you are regularly getting 7-8 hours a night to support the rest of your health efforts. To make this easier, consider limiting screen time before bed, cutting out coffee in the afternoon through the nighttime, and investing in your bedroom to create the ultimate sleep haven.
