Default What not to do the day before your wedding...

I have compiled a small list of "Beauty Dont's" that a bride should never do the day before her wedding. I hope it is as informative as it is entertaining

Face

*Wax/Thread/Overpluck eyebrows (or any part of your face for that matter!)
-This should be done a at least three days before your wedding day (5 days is optimal), to allow for any redness, swelling and sensitivity to vanish. It's also not the time to try that "new dramatic" brow look you've always wanted to try.

*Trying out that new self-tanner
-If you've never tried it before, this certaintly would not be the time.

*Glycolic Peels, Microdermabrasion or Pore Refining Facials
-In short, you could have scabs, redness, breakouts and iritated skin as a result of these procedures. Believe me, it's loads of fun using liquid bandaid to apply over scabs so that makeup will at least adhere to the brides skin

*Eyebrow bleaching/lightening
-Unless you do this on a regular basis, it's best to have this done a couple of days before the wedding. Some women's brow hair will turn orange if bleached, even slightly. If this happens, at least you can try and get an appointment to have some color thrown on top of it.


Body

*Mystic Tan
-If you have mystic tan freshly applied, color may come off on your clothes...like a wedding dress.

*Get a Brazilian Wax*
-This should be done a few days prior to the wedding. If you've never had it done, the day before is not the day to experiment...you do want to be able to walk down the aisle, right?

*Laser hair treatment
-I will leave it at that.

*Nair
-Even if you do a patch test, you could break out in horrible red bumps on your legs (especially if you leave it on longer then the recommended time)


Hair

*Extensions

*A "trim"

*A perm

*Highlights

*Anything that alters the chemical makeup of your hair.

If anyone has anything else to add to the list, please post!

How many days before the wedding would you recommend a Mystic Tan? I'm debating whether to do like 5 min. sessions in a bed for a month or getting a mystic...

I would say 3-5 days for a mystic tan. That will allow the residue to properly come off when you shower and if it's slightly more intense than what you had expected, it should tone down a little bit by your wedding day.

Awesome!
Maybe I'll do a trial run soon and see how it looks

Call me a HICK, but, what exactly is a Mystic tan?
Wondering if it might be an alternative for me. When I tan in a tanning bed, it takes a long time to get results and at first I am nothing but red bumps.
