Trying on swimsuits ranks alongside death, public speaking and finding the shoe you want has sold out in your size. So we’re preparing emotionally by looking at slimming swimwear and body shaping options now…
Summer’s almost here.
Trying on swimsuits ranks alongside death, public speaking and finding the shoe you want has sold out in your size.
The top 5 lifestyle methods of improving cellulite are a balanced diet, adequate water intake, dry skin brushing, regular massage, and exercise.
Of course there’s always exercise! But no amount of exercise shifts stubborn cellulite for many women, who want to shape up fast.
So, how to improve your bottom line?
We’re preparing ahead emotionally by looking at slimming swimwear and body shaping options now.
Nancy Ganz is already famous for its control pants – but have you tried the swimwear?
Its biggest seller is the Chic Control ($189.95) with soft gathering with powerful base fabric underneath to pull into line troublesome areas.
Glam Goddess, below in green, can be worn either strapless or as a halterneck and retails for $189.95.
The Tara Tankini top with the bustline buckle detailing below is $119.95 and its matching Hi Waisted Brief is $89.95.
Want a body treatment to help reduce the appearance of cellulite? Who wouldn’t!
Priori Coffeeberry Natureceuticals Body Shaping Complex ($174) is 99.1% natural and fortified with Coffeeberry Extract.
Pictured below, two fruits: on the left, coffeeberry, a powerful antioxidant to fight free radicals and premature skin ageing. On the right, orange peel; what you don’t want your thighs to resemble.
It’s such an easy, low effort way to control cellulite; you rub in the complex for half a minute and immediately it softens skin, and improves skin tone, and over time it improves skin appearance too. Apply the body shaping complex after your morning shower or use it twice daily for the best results.
It doesn’t just work on thighs either; you can use it anywhere on your body where you’re concerned about cellulite, such as the popular ‘bingo arms’ and of course bottoms. I was happy to see it also contains the marvellous Argan oil, which I’ve been using on my hair for months and find so nourishing, along with sunflower seed oil, shea butter, beeswax and algae extract. What a nutritive cocktail of botanicals. Pleasingly, it doesn’t contain any colourants or any parabens and it is dermatologist tested, and allergy free.
The Priori Natureceuticals line is available at selected beauty salons and spas. Call 0800 575 565 or www.spauniverse.co.nz for stockists.
Weleda Birch Body Scrub ($19.90) is a daily shower scrub to reduce cellulite available from health food stores and pharmacies. It uses beeswax pearls and birch extract, to improve skin tone. Follow up with Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion to replenish skin with an antioxidant-rich lotion. ($29.90). See www.weleda.co.nz for stockists.
To improve lymphatic circulation, try Dr.Hauschka Rosemary Arm & Leg Toner to hydrate skin, bring lightness to tired, heavy limbs and leave skin supple. It retails for $53 and is available at Farmers, selected department stores, health food stores and pharmacies. See www.drhauchka.co.nz for stockists.
So there you go. You don’t have to be scared to face the swimwear changing room this summer. Public speaking – and finding your shoe size – I can’t help you with.
