CELLULITE, IS THAT YOU?
First days in the sun, first days with your legs showing and... do you panic when you see cellulite on your legs? First step: take a deep breath and normalize cellulite. Almost everyone has it and, in most cases, it is genetic. There are no perfect bodies, no matter how much it seems on Instagram. The first self-care tip is to accept your body and eliminate the idea of an ideal body - beauty also starts in our mind!
However, of course we can and should work on ourselves if we feel that there is a characteristic that we don't like so much - especially because many of the causes of cellulite have to do with our lifestyle. Then, just give it an upgrade with our anti-cellulite routine and you're ready to show off those legs without complexities!
WHAT IS CELLULITE?
In short, it is an accumulation of fatty deposits on the skin, unevenly distributed, giving the skin a lumpy appearance - hence the term orange peel.
There can be many causes , in addition to genetics and age . Hormonal imbalances or changes , stress, a diet very rich in fat and carbohydrates and low water intake. Spending a lot of time sitting or standing, not exercising , smoking and wearing very tight clothing . If you feel that any of these aspects should be changed in your routine, start there.
ANTI-CELLULITE ROUTINE
1. TONING MASSAGE
It is super important to stimulate lymphatic drainage, as it is responsible for releasing accumulated toxins, which generate inflammation (cellulite included). Regular massages with a firming serum and body Gua Sha do wonders for the skin: they stimulate elasticity and firmness, even out texture and maintain hydration levels.
The Firme Kit was formulated with anti-cellulite care in mind: it combines the Firme serum , a slimming concentrate, and a body Gua Sha . Simply spread the serum over your body and make the Gua Sha slide across your skin, always from bottom to top, focusing on your legs, thighs, buttocks and belly.
Another way to activate lymphatic drainage is with the Body Brush , one to three times a week. Preferably, first thing in the morning, before taking a shower and with dry skin, brush your body with upward movements. In addition to activating lymph, it also activates blood circulation and slightly exfoliates the skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
2. EXFOLIATION
Exfoliating the skin on your legs regularly is essential to combat cellulite, as it removes accumulated dead skin, which only contributes to the skin appearing less toned . Furthermore, when you exfoliate you are also massaging and activating blood circulation - and we have already seen that this only brings benefits.
The Awakening Exfoliant , based on coffee and kakadu plum, is the best option for an anti-cellulite exfoliation. Super rich in Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant essential for collagen synthesis, for firmer and more luminous skin. Coffee, also an antioxidant and stimulating action , supports blood circulation and helps prevent skin irregularities.
Simply apply the exfoliant to damp skin, while showering, at least once a week. Massage gently, with circular and upward movements - and preferably with cold water, for a more astringent effect. Super important: hydrate your skin well afterwards.
3. HYDRATION
The most basic thing that we so often skip because we're too lazy to spread oil/cream on our bodies. But it is extremely important to keep your skin hydrated, especially because dry and dehydrated skin only intensifies the appearance of cellulite. Therefore, make an effort to hydrate your skin daily, with the oil or cream you like most.
4. FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Clear, inflammation-free skin also starts within us. Taking 1 teaspoon of Beleza Pura daily , in any drink or recipe, supports the production and regeneration of collagen and makes skin firmer, smoother and more luminous . Detox Drops are also important to support the body's natural cleansing and prevent the skin from reflecting any internal imbalance.
