Four weeks is ideal for a complete detox program
During the first week from November 27th to December 3rd, to stay in great shape, follow these tips.
Start with your diet
With four weeks to spare, you can lose a bounty without too many sacrifices. Choose a low calorie diet that reduces the consumption of carbohydrates (and therefore sugars) and fats, favoring fish, white meat and vegetables.
Detox operation
The month of December is a good time to detoxify, in view of the overeating and stress that awaits us. The advantages? Brighter skin and drier silhouette, but also better sleep quality and more energy.
Slimming treatments
To reshape the silhouette, apply a slimming and firming treatment every day. Choose a formula with active ingredients against adiposity and cellulite such as argan oil, caffeine, algae, Indian forscolin (extracted from nettle).
Having reached the second week which goes from December 4th to 10th, what must be done to keep a splendid shape stable?
Garlic and ginger are faithful allies of the liver because they help eliminate excess waste and toxins, reduce cholesterol levels, improve digestion. Use them to flavor your dishes.
Wellness for body and mind and for a splendid shape
Have you already ready the elegant dress for the Christmas dinner with colleagues? For smooth-skinned, even-colored legs and arms, use a smoothing scrub. Immediately afterwards, nourish your skin with rich creams and butters and mix a few drops of relaxing essential oil with the moisturizers.
No cars!
Forty minutes of brisk walking outdoors 3-4 times a week is ideal for burning excess fat but also for eliminating the stress that you would otherwise end up appeasing with food. You can take advantage of the time dedicated to Christmas shopping: just do it strictly on foot!
In the third week that goes from 11 to 17 December follow the three tips:
Total worn out? If the first colds are putting a strain on your face and your skin appears dull and dehydrated, immediately run for cover. Two weeks of treatments can make a difference. Choose creams and serums, richer and suitable for the season, to deeply hydrate and nourish.
Side A
He also pays attention to the décolleté, especially in view of the New Year's Eve parties, when it happens to wear low-cut dresses. Apply a firming cream with a push-up effect based on hyaluronic acid, phytoestrogens (facilitate plumping), centella asiatica (anti stretch marks).
The herbal tea that deflates
To eliminate the annoying swelling of the belly due to meals swallowed in a hurry during the work break, try an herbal tea based on cranberry, or fennel seeds, anise and cumin that promote digestion. Ginger root is also excellent as it absorbs air from the stomach and intestines.
Having reached the last week, which runs from 18 to 24 December, what state is the splendid shape?
Pay attention to the first panettone. You will certainly have one at home by now. If you want you can eat it but a small slice and with the morning coffee. Breakfast is the time when our metabolism is most active and there is the whole day ahead to get rid of calories. Keep in mind that 100 grams of panettone correspond to about 340 calories.
Take care of your hands
Having well-groomed hands is important, but skin tends to dry out and crack in winter. This is why a rich cream should be applied every day. And if you don't have time to do it yourself, book a manicure at your beautician.
All in masks
For an immediate effect, choose an illuminating mask, with plant extracts and fruit enzymes that revitalize the skin, against the dullness caused by fatigue and pollution.
To arrive in splendid shape at Christmas, in December, give yourself a small beauty surprise a day, to be discovered by opening the boxes of the Advent Calendar. From the classic almond soap to the Shea cream, to the Aromachologie shower gel.
