This is probably the last thing you're thinking about this time of year, but for future reference, here's how to look better naked (no gym membership required):
ARMS: To boost circulation and exfoliate away any little bumps, give your arms a salt rub. Moisten a cup of sea salt with water until it forms a sticky paste, then massage into the skin, up and down the arm in circular movements. Rinse, towel dry, and apply body lotion.
CLEAVAGE: To make the most of your cleavage, no matter what size, sweep bronzing powder across your chest and cleavage. To highlight and accentuate the shape even further, apply a gold gel to the curve of each breast.
TUMMY: If your stomach isn’t as flat as you’d like, it could be due to poor posture and weak abdominal muscles. Improve your tummy instantly by standing up straight and imagining your spine is a long and elongated S.
BACK: Enliven sluggish skin and get rid of any ‘bacne’ by enlisting the help of a mud mask. Mud can be messy but it works miracles by attracting impurities and leaving your skin super-clear
BOTTOM: Zap problem zones like your bottom with a strong shower jet. With your shower nozzle work over your skin in circular motions to kick-start your circulation and move toxins. Switch from hot to cold water to get the maximum benefits.
THIGHS: Skin brushing is believed to break down fat in toxin-laden tissue (basically cellulite) and improve the body’s lymphatic draining system and blood flow. It also gets rid of dead skin. With a natural bristle brush or hemp mitt, using long, upward movements. Start at the feet and work up the legs and across the hips and the bottom. If you have sensitive skin, use your mitt with soap or shower gel to minimize damage by decreasing friction. If cellulite is your biggest problem, life is good!
ALL-OVER FAKE TAN: Great for camouflaging those little less-than-perfect body bits. First, exfoliate your skin, with a gentle scrub to avoid irritation. Massage the tanning product into your legs, blending thoroughly so you don’t get streaks. Apply sparingly over the elbows, knees and ankles. Blot with a tissue afterward to avoid any uneven color. Wash your hands immediately. If you do end up with unsightly streaking, apply whitening toothpaste to help lighten them.
Have you ever tried any of these tips? Do you think looking better naked is a confidence booster for women? Why or why not?
