Body Care - Your Top to Toe Care PlanUnderstanding your body's strengths and weaknesss is the first step to ensure it grows older gradually, attractively and healthily. Regular informed body care is the key to maintaining a physique to be proud of whatever your age. Regular exercise builds and maintains all round body fitness and helps keeps your body weight stable. The calories burned in an hour of activity increase in proportion to body your weight and how energetic your exercising is. BODY CARE: Your Top to Toe Care PlanBody care consists of caring different parts of the body such as neck, chest, breast, stomach, hips, hands, legs and feet. Lets see how to care for complete body. NECK CARE - Dry skin here is vulnerable to environmental damage. Protect with a sunscreening moisturizer to prevent ring lines and "turkey neck" sagging. Toning massage and exercise help keep skin firm and your neck flexible. CHEST CARE - Consistent sun damage causes "V-neck" furrowing and crepiness around the cleavage. An AHA-based moisturize plus a good sunscreen protect and may retexturize the skin surface. BREASTS CARE - Heavy breasts consistently lose uplift especially after pregnancy. Make sure your bra affords the right support without constricting breasts or shoulder muscles. Toning exercises won't significantly firm, but they can improve your profile. Health-check your breasts every month, examining them carefully. STOMACH - This zone loses tone the fastest and most noticeably, especially after pregnancy. Regular exercise helps keep muscles toned and the stomach flat. Firm stomach muscles also help to support the lower back, preventing aches and damage. Gentle massage helps break down fatty deposits and relieves bloating. Good posture also refines your profile. HIPS AND THIGHS CARE - Cellulite, or orange-peel skin, is caused by the shape and formation of fat cells beneath the skin's surface. Hormonal activity, pregnancy and the Pill precipitate its appearance and few women escape it! Cellulite may diminish after the menopause, but HRT can perpetuate it. Diet and exercise may not eradicate it, neither will so called "slimming" creams. Careful massage helps to strengthen the skin, making dimples less obvious. HANDS CARE - Frequent exposure to detergents dries and roughens the skin and may damage nails. Sun damage causes slack skin tone and hyper-pigmentation or age spots. A sunscreeing hand cream protects and prevents dehydration. Simple manicure keeps nail trim and attractive. Massage and exercise keeps fingers nimble and joints flexible. LEGS CARE - Heaviness, swelling and varicose veins are all caused by a sedentary lifestyle, leading to poor circulation. Overweight, constipation and pregnancy pressurize veins, exercise and a fibre-rich diet relieve congestion and maintain veinious health. Massage stimulates lymphatic drainage and eases swollen ankles. FEET CARE - A lifetime of ill-fitting shoes causes hard skin build-up, corns and calluses. Regular home pedicure keeps skin supple and feel comfortable. Comfortable shoes limit the damage. Massage soothes soreness and eases swelling. Exercise maintains foot and toe flexibility. Body Basics TipFrom contouring creams to deep moisture treats, there is a formula for every zone of the body. |
