Caring for your body goes a long way to making you feel and look more beautiful. The best part is, it doesn’t take too much to see visible difference. In this section you will get all the little tricks and regimes that will leave you in awe of your own self. Here’s to body beautiful:
Don’t Drink Caffeine: If you are having a body wrap avoid caffeine, fried food, sugar and fizzy drinks for 24 hours before and after the treatment to boost its efficiency. All these can add to toxin build up and reduce treatment’s action.
Hot & Cold: Bath temperatures can be used therapeutically. Cold baths reduce swelling by constricting blood vessels while hot ones relieve muscle soreness and eliminate body toxins.
Flush It Out: Drink lots of water, during and after body masks to help remove toxins and stimulate the lymph system. This is especially important for detoxifying treatments, which are very dehydrating.
Always Replace Moisture: Baths and showers always rob skin of its moisture, even if you use a very gentle body wash. Always use body oils or a specially formulated body lotion after bathing to replace lost moisture and keep skin hydrated.
Fight The Dark Skin: Darker areas of the skin, as the knees and elbows, are the result of very dry accumulated skin cells. These will benefit from an intensive exfoliation treatment, followed by a rich moisturizing cream. To lighten skin at the elbows, cut a lemon in half and rub each half into an elbow.
For Your Soles: A cost effective way to remove hard, dead skin from your feet is to add rock salt to a little olive oil and use as scrub. Afterwards moisturise with warm olive oil.
Fungus Free Feet: Medicine for toenail fungus isn’t cheap and doesn’t always work. So treat your feet by soaking them in a mixture of equal amounts of white vinegar and water for 30 mins daily until the condition clears.
Pretty Hands: Mix a paste of almond oil and salt in the palm of one hand and use to scrub the back of your hands and over your knuckles- get gorgeously smooth hands in a jiffy.
Nail It: If your nails are brittle and tend to break, just apply castor oil on your cuticles every night before going to bed..Give your hand a gentle massage to enhance blood circulation and get stronger nails.
