2. Do not try out new skin care routines the night before or a few days before.

You may be tempted to try out a certain face mask or a DIY you saw online. Don’t. Some of the products may cause a reaction on your skin and the last thing you want is a skin breakout on the morning of your wedding day. Play it safe and just drink lots of water and get enough sleep on the days leading to the wedding day to avoid looking tired.
