Body Enjoy a relaxing massage. "It's a great way to get your mind off pre-wedding jitters," says Cornelia Zicu, who recommends incorporating aromatherapy as well. Choose calming scents like lavender, which will clear your head and melt tension.

Hair Apply an at-home glaze or gloss treatment. Joel Warren suggests using either a clear formula to boost shine or a product with a non-peroxide tint, which will also enrich the shade of your hair, whether it's natural or color-treated.

Skin Go in for one last facial. This time, tell the aesthetician to skip the extractions, which will create redness, and instead focus on hydrating your skin.

To zap untimely acne, follow this quick fix from Francesca Fusco: Before bed, squirt a drop of Visine on the blemish, then cover with a 1-percent hydrocortisone cream. When you wake up, dab an over-the-counter acne treatment on the spot to prevent it from getting any bigger.

Nails Schedule a manicure and pedicure the day before the wedding so you'll be perfectly polished in time for the rehearsal dinner, says Deborah Lippmann, an N.Y.C. manicurist.

Don't forget to...
• Groom your brows in time for redness to fade.
• Go in for your last spray-tan appointment no later than two days before the wedding.
