Beauty:do less for more results, it's possible! #2

Erase your little face

• Everything we do (or not):exfoliate? We do it when it takes us (once a month or a year). Or we are addicted, and there, we abuse it:three times a week, or even more. And we rub, we scour, we polish, we rub, we dislodge impurities, what! The redder the skin, the prouder you are.

• What we should do:relax. Treating his face like it was cigarette paper. Or silk. And we massage by touching the surface of the skin with the most extreme delicacy, without insisting on the T zone (nose, chin, forehead). Much more effective than the "Jex Stamp" technique. Avoid the eye contour and proceed on wet skin (=increases glide).

• The right frequency:Once a week, maximum.

• Why it's better:rubbing doesn't exfoliate better. On the contrary, it irritates the skin. And irritated skin, it gets angry (like a girl). It gets red, it gets pimples, it dries out, it wrinkles faster.

Wash

• Everything we do (or not):we take the tube and shoo, we press hard. Oh damn, there are too many! We wash as soon as we have sweated a microgram. Or not necessarily every day (it wears out, doesn't it?)...

• What we should do:we just take a knob of product (or two, if we are a giant) and we emulsify it with water in the palm of our hand. It's more than enough for the whole body. Rinse carefully and dry with love, right down to your toes (humidity =risk of mycosis).

• Why it's better:not washing enough… it's nice neither for the neighbors nor for the body (just for the bacteria). And too much? it destroys the hydrolipidic film, which preserves the skin.

• The right frequency:wash once or twice a day, every day. The second time, apply shower gel to sweating areas (feet, sex, back, armpits). And that's it.

Hydrate her pretty body

• Everything we do (or not):most often, we put it off until tomorrow. Because tomorrow, we will have time (necessarily). So, we catch up, but we put too much. And there, it sticks (to the skirt, to the sheets, to the fingers of darling). So we don't want to do it anymore. Ah, yes… But we apply the cream on skin that is still wet and it slips. Or we only do half of the body:the shins, the top of the thighs, the top of the arms, the stomach and the chest (we don't have a back or feet, it's well known). Pffff… What a headache the hydration of the body.

• What we should do:on dry and clean skin, we distribute a hint of cream. We work starting with the feet and going up to the chin. We do not forget the buttocks, the underside of the feet, often thirsty, the waist, the breasts, and the back. It is well penetrated by massaging each area. As soon as you get used to it, it takes two minutes, no more. Take them! They are for you, just for you.

• Why it's better:we keep a supple, luminous, toned skin that will age less quickly and better. It also allows you to keep in touch with your body and to be more tender with it (it's not a luxury, is it?).

• The right frequency:every day after showering.
