Want to go au naturale with your pre-bridal beauty regime? These humble yet effective DIYs will certainly leave you awestruck with their phenomenal results. So much so, you’d be wondering why they weren’t your go-to option in the first place.
Homemade Beauty Treatment For Bride
Brides-to-be, we present to you, 10 of the best home beauty treatments that’ll give you a stunning bridal glow on your big day!
1. Love For Lemon And Honey
The Vitamin C in lemon brightens the skin and helps fade blemishes, while honey acts as a humectant – protecting, hydrating and plumping the skin. Mix the two with some rose water as the water activates the mild peroxides in the honey and causes light and harmless bleaching effect.
2. Haldi Hacks
Ever wondered why most weddings have a haldi function? It is a DIY skin brightener! Haldi works wonders on blemishes and removing tan as it has a component called curcumin which inhibits excessive secretion of melanin in the skin. Rub a mixture of turmeric, curd/milk/honey and rose water on areas that could use some lightening, leave it on for 10-15 minutes and wash off.

7. Honey For Your Hair
Don’t leave your tresses out when pampering yourself! Honey is so good for your health, so it’s no wonder that it is amazing when applied on your hair as well. It hydrates the locks and nourishes them to reveal shiny tresses. Mix some honey, olive oil and some rose water and apply it generously onto the hair and scalp. The olive oil reduces the stickiness of honey and is amazing for your hair too!
8. Chocolate For Luscious Locks
Cocoa powder is rich in proteins, tannins, vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium, which is great at reducing hair loss. It stimulates the follicles and adds shine to hair. Mix 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder with cocoa butter (replace with coconut oil if you don’t have cocoa butter) and honey. Massage this mixture onto your scalp and spread it till the ends of your hair to reduce any split ends.
