Season of weddings and other auspicious occasions of get together also create so many butterflies in our belly , especially the to be bride  who starts suffering from the unforeseen traits of wedlock like anxieties, Mood swings, sleep disorders, irregular diet syndromes, and many other unwarranted thoughts about bridal looks, skin and body care, beauty regimen , choice of Make  Up Studio, and other thoughts that influence our Endocrinal System and creates imbalance in Hormonal secretions thereby having profound effect on our Skin and body.
