6 last minute tips for a great body at the beach

It’s almost time for the beach, and as usual, although we’ve been dreaming about it for several months now, we haven’t got in shape at all. Nothing serious, but for those who would like to be on top from the first few days without having to wait for their nice tan, here are 6 last minute tips.

1. A firm body in express

Maybe it’s a little late to go and register at the nearest gym. But in two weeks, we have time to tone up at home, in a few minutes a day. Morning and evening, to firm the stomach, thighs and buttocks, place yourself in a sheathing position (as if doing push-ups, that is to say in a plank with the pelvis in line with the body). We squeeze the buttocks and stomach, and we lift one leg then the other. We try to balance first for a minute, to try to reach 2 minutes after two weeks.

For even more efficiency, you can invest in a Swiss ball. Of course, we combine all this with a balanced diet.

2. Soft, protected and sublimated skin

Once on the sand, we do not forget the essential: we bring the best sunscreens. To be the prettiest and most beautiful on the beach – and to stay that way – we need to protect our skin from the harmful effects of the sun, that’s essential. Our favorite for the season is the Tropical Coconut SPF30 mist from Coola. Why ? Its “spray” format is the most practical, and as a bonus, this sun care smells of coconut.

3. Mermaid hair

On the beach, we want perfect hair like The Little Mermaid on the Rock. For this, we need a treatment to protect them from water, salt, the sun and sublimate them, like an oil spray (some even include an SPF). Real sunscreens for our hair! Then, we opt for a special heat wave hairstyle, and voila.

4. Appropriate makeup

Truly optional, makeup at the beach is for some absolutely essential. Yes, but now, who says beach, says heat, water … Enough to turn our beauty looks into vinegar. For die-hard make-up fans, there are fortunately waterproof products, as we know. But what we know a little less is that brands now offer compact powders for the face with an SPF. Of course, they do not replace sunscreen, but they are ideal as a complement, to sublimate the complexion (especially when you are still a little pale) and always provide more protection!

5. The right jersey

Hop hop hop, we go to shop for your swimsuit of the year. To highlight our pretty shapes, don’t forget to choose THE perfectly suited piece.

6. A delicate fragrance

In summer, we have our favorite perfumes, and we want to leave an unforgettable trail behind us. Yes, but now, perfume and sun do not mix (perfume exposed to UV rays can generate skin phototoxic reactions such as redness, spots or even burns). At the beach, we therefore swap our usual perfume for a juice suitable for sun exposure. We find more and more, and for all tastes!
