Beautiful Body – Keep Your Skin Smooth and Hydrated Year Round

Beautiful Body – Keep Your Skin Smooth and Hydrated Year Round

Summer is a time when you show the most amount of skin in all the beautiful plunging necklined dresses and sleeveless tops not to mention the all-revealing bikinis at the beach.

However winter brings with it it’s own challenges. The drying effect of the cold weather along with the heaters and air conditioners can really put a big toll on your skin.

So no matter what weather we are living in, there are certain tips and products that will keep your skin in top-notch condition. By looking after your skin year round you will never have to fear accidental skin exposure.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Nothing hydrates the skin like water and this comes in many forms not just drinking water. While that is very important water comes from many other sources. Eating water rich foods is the number one tip for well hydrated, smooth skin.
Our bodies store all the toxins and chemicals as body fat so they won’t damage the vital organs. We can help our bodies clean these out by steering clear of toxins such as cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and all the junk food. Instead eat a diet full of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and nuts.

EXERCISE REGULARLY
You’ve heard this a million times but I’m going to reiterate it. Exercise gets your heart-rate up, increases circulations and helps to clean out the toxins from your system. It is also beneficial to reduce cellulite as lean tissue burn more fat during exercise.
A toned body is a lot more attractive than a flabby, dry skin. Start with five-minute sessions and progress to up to 30 minutes.

EXFOLIATE
Never underestimate the power of exfoliation. You can do it in two ways:
In the shower; always with a circular motion rubbing the body scrub into the skin. You can also use a loofah or exfoliating glove.

Dry body brushing is also effective; move the natural-bristled soft body brush in gentle circles from your feet up to your thighs and buttocks for 5 – 10 minutes for best results.
