Q&A Fashion & Beauty Our experts answer your problems FACING FACTS My skin seems to be having a breakout, probably due to stress leading up to the wedding day. Can make-up alone hide the blemishes? Make-up can help conceal blemishes and breakouts, but it won’t treat your skin complaint − sometimes, it might even make it worse! It’s always worth seeking out a dermatologist or visiting a facial clinic for some professional guidance if it’s causing distress or if it’s an ongoing issue. They can offer more guidance when your current skincare routine doesn’t seem to help ease breakouts. Cleansing every day is key and so, so important. Products that can help breakouts are easily obtainable from the high street though. Do some research on salicylic acid, niacinamide and BHA liquid exfoliant; these can all be added into your daily routine to help ease inflammation and reduce possible scaring.

What style do you suggest for something elegant and subtle yet striking to make her feel a million dollars! A visit to a milliner such as The Milliners Hat Box is a great way to create the perfect headpiece, as the professional can work with your mum to help make her feel confident, special and stylish. It will be a day she will always remember, not only because her daughter looks amazing on her wedding day, but because as the mother-of-the-bride, she feels a million dollars too! Virginia Ayres, The Milliners Hat Box, www.facebook.com/Themillinershb The team at Your Surrey Wedding say: Think about the size of the headpiece, something subtle with the wow factor but not too much height and width that she feels the hat is wearing her and not the other way around! Consider colour palettes, complement shades to her skin tone and colouring in terms of eyes and hair, as well as the chosen outfit she wants to wear on the day. The hat should complement the whole aesthetic not compete with it! 74
