You don’t have much time left before your holiday. Sun, rest, beach… and bikini. To look and feel your best this summer and turn heads – including your special someone’s – you can’t afford to miss a thing. Exercise, seasonal eating, foods that get your skin ready for the sun, scrubbing, moisturising and massage: follow our tips to feel good in your body this summer!
A workout routine worthy of a champion
A summer body means a toned body. Choose your physical activity based on your goals. Want to sculpt your whole body and give some attention to the areas where cellulite tends to settle? Go for swimming. Aiming for a flat stomach? Strength training is your best bet! Dreaming of a firm bottom? Give roller skating a try. Struggling with your thighs? Tone them up with cycling. Every sport has its strengths… and nothing stops you from combining several activities for a summer body that radiates health.
Light, seasonal eating before you head off on holiday
The summer season is the perfect time to embrace light, seasonal eating. Summer fruits and vegetables are the ideal ingredients for salads and homemade juices. That said, don’t skip lean proteins or complex carbohydrates, so you keep your diet balanced. And since it’s warm, take the opportunity to prepare drinks that are both delicious and refreshing, so you stay well hydrated. Each evening, you can also treat yourself to a particularly enjoyable little ritual: a herbal tea to savour before bed.
Operation golden glow
Speaking of nutrition, let’s take a closer look at the foods that will help prepare your skin for sun exposure – which should always remain moderate, of course. For a beautifully bronzed summer body, include ingredients rich in:
- Vitamins C and E: these powerful antioxidants, which neutralise free radicals, are found in nuts, oily fish, and aromatic herbs such as parsley, bell pepper, and lemon.
- Beta-carotene: this natural pigment, responsible for the yellow-orange colour of many foods, helps prepare the skin for sun exposure. You’ll find it in sweet potato, carrot, melon, as well as spinach and kale.
- Lycopene: another pigment and a formidable antioxidant, found mainly in tomatoes, but also in watermelon, grapefruit, and guava. Best paired with quality fats, such as cold-pressed olive oil.
- Tyrosine: an essential building block for melanin synthesis, which gives skin its colour. Found in bananas, avocados, almonds, and sesame seeds.
Scrub and hydration: the winning duo for beautiful skin
To complete your summer body routine, nothing beats a dedicated skincare ritual. Our Cellublue routine:
