With the onset of cold weather, we reflexively focus on facial and hair care, believing that the body, covered with clothes, will wait until spring. But right now he needs special care.
In the thirties, the famous Swiss cosmetologist Nadia Payot, shocked by the contrast of the toned body and the aged face of the ballerina Anna Pavlova, invented face-gymnastics. It’s a paradox, but today it’s the other way around: a well-groomed face often contrasts with the sagging skin of the body.
In the online space, there are a lot of sites about the perfection of the silhouette. But all of them are not about leaving, but about the struggle. With cellulite, fullness, stretch marks. Girls lose weight together, support each other, boast of the results.
On the one hand, such unity pleases. On the other hand… How long can you fight? After all, the body is not an enemy, but a reliable ally, which, despite all the shortcomings, drives the opposite sex crazy. Yes, of course, men evaluate the dimensions and parameters of the silhouette. But! When the lights go out in a room, the visual receptors turn off, giving way to tactile ones.
Just imagine, there are 250 nerve endings for every square millimeter of a finger. Therefore, the stronger sex is thrilled by just touching the female skin. And if it is silky and tender, no cellulite and other imperfections will stand in the way of the outbreak of passion.
The body fades at about the same rate as the face
If in ordinary life men love with their eyes, then in moments of intimacy, touch and smell come first. Are there enough arguments to think about their dressing in addition to sculpting perfect forms? It’s not about clothes, but about what a man’s hand will stumble upon when he takes it off. “When I meet a woman, I take her by the elbow. And I immediately understand whether it is worth continuing the acquaintance or I will spend the night with a roll of emery, ”Sergey, 34, admits ironically.
Forgotten by everyone
There was a persistent stereotype: the face requires anti-aging care, and the body – anti-cellulite. Spending significant amounts on products and procedures against flabbiness and wrinkles, women do not remember that the zones located below are also aging. If they do, they don’t see it as a problem. Many people believe that since the skin is protected by clothing, it does not receive harm from the outside, stays young longer and does not require special care. A simple milk or perfumed cream, coupled with anti-cellulite products – this is the maximum beauty for the body.
Although in fact it fades at about the same pace as the face. True, not because of ultraviolet radiation, but because of its absence. Decreased production of vitamin D, absorption of calcium, flabby fibers. Add here reduced gas exchange under clothing, a tendency to dehydration, weight changes and other points. Without care, the body becomes unattractive by the age of 40.
If from youth to accustom yourself to use a moisturizer twice a day, then many problems can be avoided. Down to cellulite. After all, one of the reasons for its occurrence is the loss of tone and weakness of the fibers that occur during dehydration.
caressing nets
Home skin care products have also caught up with facial products a long time ago. In addition to banal moisturizing, here you can find firming, tightening, rejuvenating, and even lifting preparations. But creams come to the fore closer to winter. Their rich texture and rich composition will come to the rescue when, due to heating, chlorinated water and layered clothing, the skin on the body becomes dry, rough, flaky.
One look at these solid, luxurious jars inspires confidence in the equally significant possibilities of the content. Ascetic bottles of milk or gel are more associated with solving specific problems: cellulite, edema, stretch marks, etc.
Another thing is to open the beautiful lid with a graceful gesture and dip your fingers into the velvety softness of the cream. Due to the high content of oils, it will instantly give comfort and coziness.
Even fans of light textures should have at least one such tool in their arsenal to apply locally. For example, on the legs, calves and feet: they often become rough. And also on the elbows and forearms, which are also prone to peeling.
But it is more effective to anoint the whole body with cream. In addition to being beneficial for the skin, it is also a powerful anti-stress.
The cream creates the illusion of a second skin, additional protection from surrounding troubles. The stroking movements with which we apply it help to calm the nerve endings and relieve anxiety.
Therefore, in difficult moments of life, take a shower and generously apply the cream. Wrap yourself up in a bathrobe, lie down, and the world will be a much better place.
Food of the gods
All kinds of dietary supplements for weight loss and the fight against cellulite are mostly a mixture of a laxative with a diuretic. Do they work? Operate. But only for those whose intestines and kidneys do not work well. In other cases, they can cause a metabolic failure, driving the body into permanent “toilet” stress.
But supplements for skin tone deserve all praise. They supply substances, the lack of which the skin acutely feels with age. Antioxidants, vitamins, minerals are responsible for the density of the fibers, and unsaturated omega fatty acids are responsible for tenderness and softness. True, the producers in the annotations for some reason only talk about the face. But anti-aging dietary supplements have a great effect on the skin of the body. As well as vitamins with minerals, coenzyme Q10, collagen and other necessary and useful substances.
Are you afraid to drink them by the handful? Break it down into two steps. For example, vitamins C and D enhance each other’s action. Especially if taken in the morning. But the absorption of calcium with collagen is better at night. One more observation. Multiactive complexes are best taken before sports activities or a walk: they stimulate the metabolism. And this means that you will lose weight at an accelerated pace.
By the way, physical activity helps to become not only thinner, but also younger. They enhance subcutaneous blood circulation and oxygen supply to tissues, improve metabolism. Thanks to this, the skin is constantly updated and remains in good shape. Therefore, you need to train the whole body, and not just problem areas.
double overtaking
The age-old way to make your skin silky is a bath and a scrub. Most of the recommendations on preparing for a date and other pleasant moments of life begin with this pair.
Just remember, hot water weakens collagen and lowers skin tone. And frequent scrubbing reduces its protective layer. Therefore, it is better to resort to such a duet in a dosed manner. Anything can be added to the bath, except for algae and other foul-smelling substances. More precisely, you can, but not before a date. Scrubs, on the other hand, are best chosen based on salt and oil – they soften the skin best. And again, do not forget about anointing with a large dose of cream.
Walk with him for half an hour, then blot off the excess and, like silk, run on a date!
