The countdown to Valentines has begun and if you haven’t kept your promise regarding daily workouts and you’ve cheated on your diet, it’s not too late to achieve total body confidence. Whether you have a date with an old flame, a new flame or your BFF, these beauty tips will have you looking your best.
Two Days to Go-The Body Brush
Daily body brushing helps to eliminate toxins from the body, boost circulation and improve the appearance of cellulite. In the weeks leading up to Valentines, brush your legs in an upward motion from your ankles to your thighs, wrists to shoulders and don’t forget other cellulite prone areas such as your bottom. After a week of this daily ritual you will begin to see an improvement as you buff your way to supermodel worthy pins.
One and a Half Days to Go-Salt Scrub
All over body exfoliator is the key to silky soft skin and will ensure that you possess that coveted supermodel glow from head to toe. Choose a powerful luxurious scrub, like a salt scrub and use the day before your date.
One Day to Go-Be a Bronzed Goddess
The right fake tan can hide a multitude of sins and make your body look slimmer and beautifully bronzed. Apply the night before your date after a full body exfoliation and wake up with a fabulous tan. Add a mist of body shimmer to your collarbones, cleavage and the center of your thighs to create the illusion of longer legs.
V Day-Marvellous Manicures and Pretty Pedicures
When your hands and feet are well maintained, you feel sexier and there is nothing better than a mani/pedi to leave you feeling pampered. Shellac nails last for over two weeks, and won’t chip like regular nail polish. Ruby red is the shade of the season and is the last box to tick on your Valentines beauty checklist.
