Planning every aspect of the wedding ensures the event goes off without a hitch. You also need to plan for your skincare and make-up routine as treatments a week before your wedding will not give your skin a healthy glow.

Here are some tips on how you can start cleansing your system to give you glowing skin well in advance and why quick-fix treatments donâ€™t work for the big day.

Whether you have dry, oily or sensitive skin, going to the local salon a week before the wedding for a facial or exfoliation treatment will not have the same impact as starting your skincare routine a month or two in advance will. This is because of the following reasons:

Your skin may have a break-out due to stress or a product used may not suit your skin and a week is too little time to get rid of the rash.

The glow on your skin after a facial is temporary and does not often last more than a day or two.

A one-sitting salon treatment, however detailed cannot remove blemishes and a tan [if you have one] completely.

The healthy glow that comes from an internal cleansing of the system started a month or two before the wedding day cannot be acquired in a day no matter how rich the cream you use.

According to Dr Snehal Sriram, Medical advisor at Kaya Skin Clinic, you can follow a skincare routine and a diet regime 30-60 days before your wedding day. This will help you to detox your system from within and the external care will remove the blemishes and nourish your skin.

The dietary regime

Flush your skin toxins by consuming lots of water and fluids like juices, buttermilk and coconut water.

Breakfast should consist of high fibre, low fat food.

Lunch can consist of a healthy portion of salads, vegetables and chapatti. Avoid fried or heavily spiced items.

Dinner should comprise of soup, a bowl of rice, portions of mixed vegetables including green leafy vegetables etc.

Avoid excessive intake of caffeine/ tea, oily food, junk food and chocolates.

The Skincare Regime

Use a good cleanser in the morning and at night.
To protect your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun, use a sunscreen daily.

You can use a good blemish-reducing cream if you have blemishes on your skin or use a good moisturizer for day and night.

Use a good hand and body lotion to keep your hands and feet moisturized.
Look after your hair by using the right kind of shampoo and conditioner best suited to your hair.
