Just hours from the highly anticipated royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, all eyes are on the bride. Who will design her dress, who will take the photos, what her hairstyle and makeup will look like.

Taking advantage of the occasion, we wanted to have the advice of beauty expert Maribel Pedrozo who, from her salon in Miami, cares for the skin of stars like Rashel Díaz, Jomari Goyso and Bárbara Bermudo, among others. Even if you don't get married… don't miss her best tips!

How should a bride like Meghan, whom everyone will see on television or social media, prepare their skin?

Meghan has beautiful, young, firm skin without sun damage and looks hydrated. From what I have seen in the press, she is not so loving to the sun, she leads a healthy life and genetics are her best allies. [I recommend] Prepare your skin naturally with vitamin C, hyaluronic serum and always wash your face with cold water.

Tell us what the step-by-step process would look like

My advice at home is to wash your face with cold water at night, place a Vitamin C Serum all over your face and neck, then apply a rich cream with [hyaluronic acid] every night a week before the wedding. [Also] have a quartz or jade roll in the fridge and run it all over your face for 10 min, sleep with a low pillow and silk covers and thus avoid the marks of the fabric on your face.

When should the future bride begin to prepare her skin with extra care?

The bride must begin to care for her skin at least 5 months before the wedding in order to hydrate, nourish, tone, diminish or remove spots, and disappear expression lines (either by laser, ultrasound or peeling). starting on time is ideal, accompanied by periodic lymphatic drainage and relaxation massages to reduce stress on the big day. A week before the wedding [I recommend] getting a rich natural facial without extractions, with apple stem cells and lights LED, accompanied by oxygen and at the end you close it with a delicious lymphatic drainage of face and body.

What kind of products should we use?

Using creams or Serums with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, collagen, lipids and ceramides is ideal. Of course, without forgetting sunscreen or BB creams.

How do we prevent a grain not coming out the day before the wedding?

The stress of the day to day and the skin go hand in hand, the more stress you have this is reflected in your skin whether it is rash, outbreaks, redness and itching, that's why it is important to learn to know the language of your skin! and always avoid what triggers those disorders on your skin. For me, putting ice on your face with gentle massages is ideal.

Should we control the diet?

Diet and hydration are essential. We must ingest many blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, green tea, salmon, salads (all excellent anti-oxidants and anti-aging since they provide vitamins, amino acids and minerals). Drink plenty of water, avoid salt, canned goods, sugar, refined flours, fried foods, and soy. All these foods make you retain ligue, slow your digestion and do not help reduce stress and are foods that can make pimples appear on your face.

What happens if we get a grain before the wedding?

If we get pimples, please do not remove them, leave them and put ice or aloe vera, or if you are on time, see your skin specialist who helps you remove it without a trace.

What should Meghan or girls with darker skin like hers consider?

Do not invent and apply creams or make treatments in the hands of untrained people since darker skin is more difficult to treat in the case of sequelae such as burns, keloids, scars or spots

Is there something that they in particular have to pay more attention to?

Be very careful in what you apply to your skin, not necessarily what is good for your friend on the face is the best for you. In time to see if small warts begin to come out, which should be removed immediately as they grow and water, and over time they leave stains when removed. In this type of skin color, some lasers and peels are not your best friends. [They should] wear sunscreen since a stain on the face is more difficult to remove.
