Let’s face it: weddings can be whimsical, romantic and gorgeous, but they can also be chaotic and stressful. Anxiety sets in and your stress levels are at an all-time high from the minute your lover asks for your hand in marriage until the moment you start preparing for your Big Day. Wedding skincare and wellness can be pushed to the side.
“A bride needs to be relaxed before the wedding because stress and anxiety can negatively impact her overall well-being and enjoyment,” says wellness shopping expert and celebrity wardrobe stylist Pilar Scratch. “A relaxed and tranquil bride is more likely to feel comfortable and confident.”
According to Scratch, a bride-to-be’s wedding glow and enhanced beauty both result from her being at ease. So, what can you do to maintain your composure and focus as you get ready for your wedding day? Scratch suggests a small amount of CBD.
Cannabidiol (CBD), for those who are unfamiliar, is a substance present in marijuana. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana that causes a high, is absent from CBD.
Products with CBD can help you feel relaxed and at ease in addition to a less hectic environment. “CBD topical products help with anxiety. Consider face mists, serums and aromatherapy oils,” Scratch says. Tightened muscles, particularly those in the neck, shoulders and back, where most people carry their tension, can be relaxed by using CBD salves and other products.
It’s also important to note that stress and anxiety can have an impact on the skin, resulting in rashes and redness. As an anti-inflammatory, CBD reduces the swelling and redness associated with breakouts. “So, it’s really good for the skin,” says Scratch.
To give yourself enough time to address any skin concerns and obtain the ideal results, Scratch suggests starting a CBD skincare regimen six to 12 months before the Big Day.
