The heat of the spring and summer season, as well as increased sun exposure, can lead to early signs of aging as well as dry skin and hair – all of which you definitely don't want to affect your big day.

Whether you're a bride-to-be, future bridesmaid, mother of the bride, or wedding guest, take a look at these beauty and wellness products to add to your spring and summer beauty routine!

From backless wedding dresses and second-look bridal ensembles to engagement, bachelorette, and bridal-shower outfits leading up to your wedding day, it can be hard to find undergarments that work well and look right. Thankfully, Gatherall has introduced a revolutionary backless, strapless adhesive silicone bra (that's dermatologist approved!) that provides support for all women. Available in sizes A-DD, the bra is washable and reusable – up to 30 times! – and waterproof and sweat-proof, so you won't have to worry about anything falling down (or out) on hot days or while celebrating on the dance floor. Gatherall Bra ($68) and Nipple Covers ($28), both by Gatherall; wegatherall.com (also available at Free People, Target, and J.Crew)

The Gunk Out Patch will remove the look of a spot overnight, and the Multi-Dart Patch is perfect for targeting those early-stage pimples to ensure they don't come out to play on your big day.
