Lancome Sculpturale For a Smoother, Firmer Backside
As I’ve been saying around social media, I’ve got quite “the fever” for everything SPRING, including bright beauty products, cute skin-bearing clothes, and of course a healthy, toned physique. I will be shopping around for a perfect pair of short shorts, and in the meantime I’ve gotten back into pilates and doing squats to get my bod ready. Not only does exercising make me feel more confident, but it makes me feel better in general. Improved circulation allows me to concentrate better at work and have a better quality night’s sleep.
Anyway, the main reason for this post (as the title suggests) is to hype a body toning treatment I’ve been using for a long time. It’s from Lancome’s body line and it’s fantastic. Lancome Sculpturale Anti-Cellulite Treatment whips butt and thighs into tip-top shape. On the surface, anyway. Dimpled skin is smoothed gradually and quickly by applying this serum at least once a day. The formula contains ginkgo biloba, caffeine, escine, and rutin salts.
Lancome Sculpturale Anti-Cellulite Treatment appeals to my impatient nature – although I’m working out, I want to see results, like, nowww.
You can pick up Sculpturale at your local Lancome counter, or save $10 by ordering online.
To improve the appearance of cellulite from the inside, remember to drink lots of water (I’m talking 100 ounces per day), stay away from sugary junk food and pastas, and tone it all up with some squats:
Butt-Toning Squats
- Stand with your legs shoulder width apart (wider if you have long legs) and your feet parallel, or slightly turned out.
- Cross your arms in front of your chest, or hold dumbbells in your hands and rest them on your hips.
- Inhale as you squat, going no lower than the point at which your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep your head up and your back straight. One way to keep your head up is to focus on a point high on the wall, near where it meets the ceiling (unless you’re training in the Astrodome).
- Exhale as you stand up. Straighten your legs completely, but don’t lock your knees. Also, make sure your knees don’t jut out beyond your toes. This avoids knee strain (which is also the main reason for not going lower than knees parallel to the ground) and won’t recruit your hip extensors as much. Do up to 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions.
