A
girl needs to be prepared and put a few warm
weather routines in place to last the distance over the
hotter months. Here are a few tips and products tried
and tested by the Bella beauty team to give the appearance
of smoother, fi rmer and more toned skin.
SLATHER UP
Ease into the warm weather routine by getting your skin
soft and silky smooth with a good cleanser and moisturiser.
Body cleansers are perfect for priming your skin for the
follow-up moisturiser. After every shower get into the habit
of dousing yourself with moisturiser – from top to tail to toe.
Pretty soon your skin will be ready to bare all. Lastly, spritz
with your favourite fragrance to energise you and keep you
smelling delicious and feeling fresh for longer.
BRUSH OFF
Exfoliating is an essential step before any fake tan
application. Slough off the dead layers with a loofah, brush,
gloves, scrub or an exfoliating body wash. Exfoliating
products contain tiny granules to gently lift the dead cell
layer from the skin’s surface, stimulating the layer beneath
it. Don’t forget your tootsies too, which bear the brunt of
summer wear and tear – a full exfoliating or peel treatment
to banish rough and fl aky skin is in order.
TONE UP
Circulation is key to battling cellulite. First, ditch toxins such
as alcohol, cigarettes and coffee which restrict blood fl ow
and avoid saturated fats in junk food, which can cause
cholesterol build-up in the blood vessels. Cutting out salt
and eating fi bre such as oats encourages digestive function
and can help prevent water retention which can accentuate
the appearance of cellulite. Drinking plenty of water helps
this, too.
Cellulite creams and tonics are applied topically,
massaged directly on to your skin to help improve the
appearance of lumps and bumps and achieve smoother,
more supple skin. csbm
