Limit Dairy & Sugars
Some studies suggest that certain fatty dairy products and sugary foods may contribute to inflammation in the body. This can worsen existing facial eruptions and lead to the development of new ones. That's why it's important to remove these foods from your diet at least a few days before the wedding if you have facial eruptions – besides, you'll have plenty to indulge in come your wedding day!
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
For those dealing with acne and breakouts, staying hydrated is a simple yet effective strategy to support skin health. By drinking enough water and consuming hydrating foods, you can help maintain your skin's pH balance and moisture, reduce inflammation, and promote healing – it all can lead to clearer, healthier skin. What's more, keeping a systematic water balance will have a positive effect on your skin's glow!

Try Spot Treatment & Pimple Patches
The wonders of the beauty and skincare industry can sometimes really amaze you – there are now many overnight acne creams and even invisible acne patches on the market. With creams and gels, you simply apply them to the inflamed area at night, or during the day for more effective results. Patches are even easier – they don't smudge and can even be worn under make-up. You will be amazed at the results, you can get rid of a pimple in 1-2 days and the inflammation will be relieved for sure!

Cover-up Makeup Techniques
If you find yourself with an uncomfortable breakout just before the big day, don't worry, there is a way out – makeup! Firstly, try not to overload your face with concealing products – layers of foundation and powder will only create a heavy cakey texture. Instead, opt for light and breathable makeup. The blemish itself can be well covered with a concealer and 'baked on' with a thick layer of powder. The main thing is to do it precisely and focus on the area of inflammation only, so the your makeup overall still feels light and natural. Our key tip – don't forget to use the appropriate shades. Also try applying a green concealer under your main concealer to counteract any redness of the pimple.
Bring Touch-Up Products
It's worth remembering that blemishes are totally normal, but if you're still feeling self-concious about it, pack some powder and concealer into your bridal clutch, or ask one of your bridesmaids to keep on hand so you can touch up throughout the day. Don't forget though, your professional photographer will be editing your photos after the wedding, so flag with them in advance the removal of any unwanted blemishes so their wipped from your love story.
