Of course, one must not neglect to make sure your spring/summer look is perfect with firm, beautiful skin. Our guide will give you various tips and tricks on how to get firmer skin and your legs and arms in shape quickly.
10 tips on how to strengthen your connective tissue and get firmer skin
In order to achieve long-term success, it is important that you take about 15 minutes daily for a well-balanced beauty routine. My tips will help you.
1. Massage against cellulite:
Massage your legs in the morning and in the evening for five minutes each. Grasp with your hands around the thigh so that your thumbs touch. Swipe with pressure from the knees to the hips. Repeat the process until the skin is well supplied with blood and turns red, activating the connective tissue.
Then you stroke with the palm of your hand from the ankles to your knees. Then you pick on the calves easily. Finally, you knock off your entire leg with a loose fist. The massage stimulates blood circulation, making the skin smoother and fresher. Incidentally, you can also repeat these exercises on your arms and hands to get firmer skin.
2. Strengthen connective tissue with creaming
Cream your legs daily. Granted, this is probably the simplest but also the most effective tip for firm skin. Especially suitable creams with draining and firming substances such as caffeine and vitamin A. My insider tip for fresh, shiny skin: native coconut oil. These and all other creams you should rub in well to get firmer skin.
3. Bars for a strong connective tissue
The contrast of cold and warm boosts blood circulation and strengthens the connective tissue. Incidentally, you also improve your immune system. If you do not have a pub nearby, you can also mimic the effect at home.
First, shower your legs cold on the front, from the ankles to the knees. Then you walk down with the cold jet of water on the back of the leg. Repeat the process with warm water. After several passes, you should complete the application with cold water to help get firmer skin.
4. Shaving and epilating
Latest summer you should shave your legs to achieve a smooth silky soft result. Shave your legs best wet and always use shaving cream. If you are shaving with an epilator, you should use it in the evening so that the skin can calm down overnight. Shaved skin appears younger and fresher overall.
5. Tight skin by exfoliation
Once or twice a week use a scrub for legs, arms and face. No matter if commercially or homemade. Regular exfoliation removes old and dead skin, allowing the new layers of skin to shine again. Please do not use peeling on injured or very sensitive skin.
6. Apply self-tanner correctly
A radiant sun complexation lets your legs shine. Here a little cheating is allowed. Selbstbräuner concealed by the way also skin discoloration and spider veins. To get a streak-free result, you should first exfoliate your skin and rub elbows and palms with a greasy cream. Then you can apply the self-tanner in thin layers.
7. Strengthen connective tissue with the right workout
Define your legs and arms with muscle-tightening exercises. You will find suggestions on countless fitness sites on the Internet. In addition to such exercises, however, you should also train your stamina. In the office or shopping center, take the stairs rather than the elevator. And also cycling or swimming are great for short endurance. The best three times a week for about 30 – 45 minutes.
8. Eat yourself strong
Even the right nutrition can make you a firm body. Apricots, for example, are rich in beta carotene, silicon and vitamin E, they tighten the skin and strengthen the connective tissue. Basically, two liters of (mineral) water or herbal teas support the elasticity of the connective tissue. In addition, you should use salt only in small amounts, because it binds water in the body and leads to storage.
9. Time out for your legs
9. Take a break from your legs: Avoid crossing your legs while sitting, as this hinders blood circulation. In addition, you should stand up during long activities while sitting in order to loosen up your legs. Spend too much time on your high heels and walk barefoot or in flat ballerinas. My insider tip for beautiful feet in summer: In the evening, a lukewarm foot bath with essential oils.
10. Lining up fashion
The perfect shoe and the optimal skirt length can make your legs look longer and narrower.
