Mehndi for Brides

Mehndi for Brides

Mehendi - The accessory this Bridal seasonNo bride is complete without mehendi and an art that was restricted to North India has now become an essential part of a bride, whichever part of the country she hails from.The art of mehendi has graduated from the simple adorning of mehendi on hands and feet to being flaunted with attitude by brides on various parts of the body. As the brides have become more experimental and daring with their clothes, so have they with their mehendi. Modern young brides have been seen in the recent past sporting hip mehendi tattoos and patterns on their navel, upper back, waist, upper arms, and lower backs. And many more such interesting`areas. Before you think of going wild with mehendi, it is important to make sure that your skin is in tip top condition. Here are a few tips that will help you get there: Moisturise: Keep your skin, especially your hands, feet, back well moisturised. Use a good quality moisturiser and make sure you apply it twice a day at least. Mehendi does not sit well on dry skin and will also come off much faster. Post mehendi application; make sure you moisturise regularly to ensure your mehendi lasts for longer. Exfoliate:Regularly exfoliate to make sure your skin is rid of all dead skin cells and is prepped to receive gorgeous mehendi art. Make sure to moisturise post exfoliation.Wax:Wax your hands and legs since mehendi looks best on hairless, smooth skin. If you have never waxed before then go for a session at least a month before your D-Day to make sure you react well to waxing. Lots of people I know don`t and if you are one of those then you can always resort to shaving. Make sure you moisturise after shaving/waxing.Skin Treatments:If you plan to flaunt mehendi on your back (and what with low cut cholis all the rage these days, you definitely should!), then make sure you have a spotless back. Visit a good skin clinic and go in for a skin treatment that will let you flaunt your back in a backless choli enhanced with a mehendi! We recommend the Kaya complete Bridal package that takes care of your back and arms besides your face and neck.How to get the best out of your Mehendi:Get the Professionals in:Do your research, ask friends and family, look up on the net and find the best mehendi professional who fits into your budget.

Also periodically apply a combination of lemon and sugar to the dry mehendi on your palms - it supposed to ensure a richer and longer-lasting color. Other tricks are to heat mehendi-decorated palms over the stove or to apply heating balms (like Tiger Balm) that will make the mehendi darken and last. Once the dried mehendi is scraped off, keep your hands dry for at least 24 hours, and scrub it with coconut oil or any other good moisturizer’s here`s to super hot mehendi and a super hot bridal you!
