Slick on a body moisturizer to create a wonderfully
silky body. Add a moisturizing body treat every day to your beauty
regime, and you will soon reap the benefits.
-
Moisturizing matters : Just as you
choose a moisturizer for your face with care, you should opt for
the best formulation suited to the skin type on your body.
-
Gels are the lightest formulation
and are perfect for very hot days or oilier skin types. They contain
a lot of nourishing ingredients even though they're very easy to
wear.
-
Lotions and oils are good for most
skin types. They are also easy to apply, as they're not too sticky.
-
Creams give better results for those
with dry skins, especially very dry areas.
-
Body moisturizing : Here are a few
tips to help you make the most of moisturizing your body.
-
Apply using firm strokes to boost
your circulation as you massage in the product.
-
Apply the moisturizer straight onto
clean, damp skin - after a bath or shower is the ideal time. This
helps to seal moisture into the upper layers of your skin,
-
Soften cracked feet by rubbing them
with rich body lotion, pulling on a pair of cotton socks and heading
for bed. They'll be beautifully soft by the next morning!
-
Concentrate on rubbing moisturizer
into particularly dry areas, such as heels, knees and elbows. The
calves of the legs are also very prone to dryness because there
aren't many oil glands there.
-
If you don't have time to apply moisturizer
after your bath, simply add a few drops of body oil to the water.
When you step out of the bath, your skin will be coated with a fine
film of nourishing oil. Remember to rinse the bath well afterwards
to prevent you from slipping the next time you take a dip.
-
Your breasts don't have any supportive
muscle from the nipple to the collarbone and the skin is very fine
here. Using firming creams and body lotions regularly won't work
miracles, but they can help maintain the elasticity and suppleness
in this delicate area.
-
Smelling scentsational : Opt for
a scented body lotion as a wonderful treat. Applied as a lotion,
the scent can be longer lasting than the actual fragrance themselves.
Alternatively, use them as part of "fragrance layering". This
simply means taking advantage of the various scent formulations
that are now available. Start with a scented bath oil an soap,
move onto the matching body lotion and powder,
and leave the house wearing the fragrance itself sprayed onto pulse
points.
-
However, be careful you don't clash
fragrances. Opt for unscented products you're also wearing a perfume,
unless you're going to be wearing a matching scented body lotion.
You don't want whole range of cheaper products competing or clashing
with your more expensive perfume.
