How to get beach ready

With the summer holiday booked and the bikini shopping started, many of us will be wondering how to get toned up before we hit the beach.
Research shows 90 per cent of post-adolescent women have cellulite on their body, with the main problem areas being the bum, back of the thighs, upper arms and stomach, but personal trainer Kelly Du Buisson urges us not to get hung up on the idea of a perfect body.
"Everybody’s body shape is different and there is no single image for what you should look like on the beach," she pointed out.
"However, to treat those trouble spots that spend the rest of the year covered up, try a simple routine which uses wide leg squat jumps. These tone the gluteus, the inner and front of the thigh and the core."
As part of your healthy living regime, try burpees, which involve doing a star-jump then immediately getting on the floor, kicking your legs out far behind you, pulling them back in and repeating the move for a whole minute.
Toning exercises are also great for building muscles - and the more muscles you use, the more calories you burn.
"To keep yourself feeling fit and at your best on the beach, make sure you avoid high calorie and sugary foods that leave you feeling and looking bloated," advised Kelly.
"Avoid ice cream and candy floss - they may taste nice and cool you down, but the sugar in these snacks can cause inflammation in the gut, giving you that bloat that doesn’t sit well in a bikini."
When you’re relaxing in the summer sunshine, remember to keep your fluid intake up because otherwise you could get dehydrated. Kelly recommended boiling some green tea and leaving it to cool while you get ready. Pour it into a spray bottle and take it with you to the beach, so that when your skin feels like it’s had enough you can spritz your own remedy on to freshen up your complexion.

- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing. Had to cut off all my hair and even the little that is left is falling off daily not sure what to do. Please suggest something.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
