A Simple Skincare Routine for Grooms

You don't need a 10-step routine to look great in wedding photos. A few consistent habits over a couple of months make all the difference.

The basics (start two to three months before)

1. Cleanse morning and night with a gentle face wash.
2. Moisturise daily; choose a lightweight formula if your skin is oily.
3. Wear SPF every morning to avoid uneven tone and sunburn.
4. Exfoliate gently once or twice a week.

Extras that help

• A hydrating eye cream to reduce tired-looking eyes.
• Lip balm — you'll be kissing in close-up photos.
• Drink plenty of water and keep alcohol moderate in the final week.

On the morning

Cleanse, moisturise and use a little blotting powder or blotting papers if you tend to shine — keep some in your pocket for the photos.
