Your workout is done and all you want to do is sink into the sofa until tomorrow — we get it! But this is actually the perfect moment to pamper your skin and give it everything it needs to look its best. So head to the bathroom instead for a little self-care ritual!
Change out of your workout clothes
It sounds obvious, but let’s be honest — we all have a habit of lounging around in our gym kit long after a session… Sound familiar? The thing is, your workout clothes are anything but kind to your skin. They’ve absorbed sweat, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. To avoid unpleasant odours and, more importantly, breakouts or skin irritation, make it a rule to change as soon as your session is over.
Massage your skin to boost circulation
During exercise, your muscles release substances such as ammonia that can disrupt blood and lymphatic circulation, leading to that uncomfortable feeling of heavy legs. To restore a sense of lightness, you need to get fluids moving freely through your body again. And nothing works better than a good cupping massage for that. By massaging with your Cellublue Cups, you’ll stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation and help prevent post-workout water retention. But the benefits don’t stop there — it’s also one of the most effective tools against cellulite. So with a cupping massage, you pamper your skin after exercise, banish the heavy-leg feeling and smooth away dimples, all in just 5 minutes. Pretty great, right?
Apply a slimming treatment
To extend the benefits of your workout, slimming treatments are brilliant allies. Their formulas help your body eliminate the toxins and fats released during physical effort. For maximum results, apply them as soon as possible after your session (after your shower, of course). If you train during the day, go for a day treatment. If you exercise in the evening, opt for a night slimming treatment instead, which lets you pamper your skin while targeting fat while you sleep.
Finish with a cold shower to pamper your skin
Another essential tip for caring for your skin after exercise, preventing water retention and tackling cellulite is to stimulate circulation with cold water. It couldn’t be simpler: get into the habit of ending your shower with a cold rinse, working upwards from your ankles to your glutes. A little challenging in winter, we’ll admit, but genuinely beneficial for your skin and overall wellbeing!
