Bright Eyes
If you enjoyed your rehearsal dinner a little too much or wedding jitters have kept you from your beauty sleep, here’s an instant solution to tired, reddened, or dry eyes: Rohto eye drops. Makeup artists have known this secret for years: just one drop in each eye brings cooling relief, adds moisture, and safely takes the red out without causing further irritation. We recommend Cool or Hydra; about $6.99 each at CVS.
You Glow, Girl
Brides should do more than blush—they should glow. And the new Pigment Peel offered at Devra Bader Beauty Spa & Skincare (38 Garth Rd, Scarsdale 914-725-1158) is just the ticket. This 60-minute treatment ($125) removes damaged surface cells and is especially effective on sun-damaged skin and uneven skin tones.
No Sweat
Walking down the aisle can be nerve-wrack- ing, but now there is one less thing to fret about, particularly if antiperspirants just don’t work for you. We’ve got one word for you: Botox. Ladies, it’s not just for wrinkles anymore. The FDA has approved Botox to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating when antiperspirants fail. A treatment takes just 10 to 15 minutes and can last up to six months or more. Check with your doctor—in many cases, it’s covered by insurance.
14 Day Nails
Nope, that’s not a typo. The Shellac system goes on like a nail polish, but lasts like a gel—two whole weeks with no chips, smudges, dings, or dents, so you can go from wedding day through your honeymoon with flawless, mirror-finish nails. It’s UV-cured after each step (base and two color coats), so there’s zero dry time. “I love it, all my clients love it,” says aesthetician Agata Psiuch of Paulo’s Atelier (725 Bedford Rd, Bedford Hills 914-666-2800; paulosatelier.com). Available in 50 cool colors, from pale Negligée and Romantique to vibrant Wildfire and Hot Chilis. Manicures, $40; pedicures, $50. Also at Shine Salon & Spa (161 Main St, Ossining 914-762-6675).
