But with a wedding scheduled for 2012, you have more motivation than past years, so we have 12 beauty resolutions that, if committed to, will have you looking your best by the big day.Resolution 1: I will drink more waterWater is the key ingredient in making yourself better, in every sense of the word. It makes your skin glow, hair shine and helps flush out toxins from your body. So do yourself and your body a favor and drink up!Resolution 2: I will always wear SPFWhether it\u2019s in your makeup or moisturizer, you should always, always wear SPF (yes, even in the winter!). Protect your skin against harmful UV rays so it can look its utmost best on the big day.Resolution 3: I will exfoliateIn order to get your skin in tip-top shape, you must exfoliate! Doing so at least once a week will result in smooth and glowing skin on your wedding day.My trio of products for nail growth.Resolution 4: I will strengthen my nailsYou\u2019ll have lots of close-ups of that newly ringed finger, so now\u2019s  the time to start maintaining your nails (I\u2019m looking at you, nail  biters!). Keeping your nails painted, even if it\u2019s a clear polish, helps  keep nibbling at bay (or try bitter polishes specifically to prevent nail biting). Everyone can benefit from a swipe of nail strengthener  every few days\u2014I use a combination of Sally Hansen\u2019s Nail Growth  Miracle Serum, VitaSurge Growth Gel, and their Nail Growth Miracle nail  color collection. Splurge for a mani once a month to keep your  cuticles and hands supple, especially in the dry winter months.Resolution 5: I will experiment with different looksEven if it\u2019s in the privacy of your own bathroom, take the weeks or  months before your wedding to try out new makeup palettes. Who knows, it  may reveal a look you end up wearing on your big day.Resolution 6: I will commit to a skincare routineWhether you want to fight acne, even out your skin tone, smooth away   fine lines, or hydrate your skin, consistency is key with a skincare   regimen. Take a trip to the dermatologist to work out a skin plan that   is right for you.Resolution 7: I will invest in a high-quality moisturizerMoisturizers are the miracle product for good skin. Used regularly, they minimize dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Look for moisturizers that are rich in antioxidants, such as Aveeno\u2019s Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer, and don\u2019t forget the SPF.Resolution 8: I will quit wearing makeup to bedI know some nights it\u2019s tough, but your skin needs to be clean and   clear in order to undertake its normal repair and rejuvenation process   while you sleep. Plus, makeup is a breeding ground for bacteria, and   leaving it on can lead to breakouts and eye infections.Resolution 9: I will exerciseThis is seemingly everyone\u2019s top resolution, but you have a wedding approaching, so you\u2019re definitely sticking it to, right? Right? Not only does exercising at least three times a week give you a hot  bod, but it also gives you a naturally glowing complexion, so go pump  that iron!Resolution 10: I will lengthen my locksFor the ladies who want an updo for their wedding hairstyle, now\u2019s  the time to start letting your hair grow out. The longer the locks, the  more options you have, but be sure to keep it keep your mane maintained  with a trim every six weeks.Resolution 11: I will get my beauty restYour body needs six to eight hours of sleep each night in order for it to look and feel its best. Unfortunately, a lack of sleep is a side-effect of wedding planning. But how good you look and feel on your wedding day will be well worth the minute details you may have missed, so put the planner down and allow yourself some zzz’s.Resolution 12: I will love myselfLearn to accept and love yourself the way you are\u2014spider veins, flabby arms and all. If you don’t know how amazing you are and look, just ask your fiance\/e. They’ll be able to give you a long list.Photo: Tennille & Sarah from Real Weddings Michael Winter of Winter Images"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"12 Beauty Resolutions for a 2012 Wedding","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/12-beauty-resolutions-for-a-2012-wedding\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
