Wedding Week Beauty Diary

I'm currently helping my great friend Laura organise her wedding, and now that we're in the last week it's ALL about the beauty schedule! There's so much to think about - tanning, waxing, brows, nails - so I've put together the perfect wedding week beauty planner...

Monday: Have your brows groomed, and start using your gradual fake tanner daily (we love St Tropez Easy Everyday Airbrush, £17.95)

Tuesday: Have a relaxing lymph-drainage massage to shed that last pound. Try Darphin's Purify & Slim (from £50 for 90mins - nationwide)

Wednesday: Get your waxing done at your local beauty salon.

Thursday: Exfoliate well and keep applying that gradual fake tanner. Soak in a bubble bath and relax with your fiancé - it's your last night with him as a Miss!

Friday: Your tan should be perfect by now, but do another application if necessary. Have your mani and pedi at home to prevent smudging (try the mobile spa company returntoglory.co.uk). Do a soothing facemask before your beauty sleep - we love Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque (£24.40) or Eve Lom Rescue Mask (£48) - and apply Bobbi Brown Overnight Blemish Paste (£12.50) onto potential spots!

Saturday AM: Wash you hair (no good hairdresser should ask to style day-old hair). Apply a fresh layer of topcoat to make nails extra shiny, and leave to dry while having your hair and make-up done (give yourself three hours in total for this). You're ready!
