30 Affordable Beauty Products for Brides-To-Be As brides, we often feel pressured to look and feel our absolute best for the big day. And trust me – as someone who just recently got married, I totally get it! In fact, up until the point that I got engaged, I made so many mental notes of high-end products that I was SURE I was going to invest in as a bride-to-be. Did that happen? No. Because once I got engaged, I realized that funds were limited and those high-end products were not going to be feasible. Lame. However, considering I had three bridal showers, a bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, and more, I wanted to make sure I still looked high-end for each event…on a cheap bride’s budget. Luckily ladies, all was not lost. Amazing and affordable beauty products do exist! In fact, I did some digging and rounded up 30 products that are perfect for brides-to-be and won’t break the wedding bank. Keep scrolling, cause I think you’re really going to love these!

Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. We all know this, but it sometimes it seems easier said than done. Invest in a good quality daily moisturizer. Your non-wrinkly skin will thank you later. Don't forget to moisturize your neck. It should always be treated as an extension of your face. Layer products from thinnest to thickest. Toner. Moisturizer. Foundation. Done. Always wear at least spf 30+ on your face. It’s easiest to just get a moisturizer with this built in so you don’t have to worry about the extra step. Exercise 3-4 times per week. At the very least, try to get out for a short walk every day. You’ll be amazed at how much better your skin looks and your body feels. Remove your makeup before working out. It’s so important to let those sweat glands breathe! Take 10 minutes for yourself each day. Whether you read, meditate, journal, etc. it’s so important to take the time to relax, reflect, and just unwind. Always take off your makeup at night. Does this one really need an explanation? Eat clean. Your skin will thank you. Exfoliate regularly. But no more than 3 times a week. Drink 8 glasses of water per day…at the minimum. Take warm, not hot showers. Hot showers can strip your skin of its natural oils. This same rule applies when washing your face. Change your pillow-cases weekly. Just think of all the dirt, oil, and gunk that builds up on those bad boys. Be happy! It’s the greatest form of beauty there is. Let's Chat! What beauty products are you currently obsessed with?
