Full Circle Wellness has partnered with Fake-it Beauty to bring you wellness tips to help you look your best! Check out the first of regular monthly blog posts from salon owner, Tasha Clinksales!

I’m sure going into Summer, uncovering those “gorgeous”, dry, pasty-white, “slightly bigger than last Summer’s” bodies can be daunting. Especially when you go back to the beach for the first time this summer and you see those bronzed, muscle builders with their perfect physiques and you wonder where they’ve been hiding that they look so perfect!

So lets get serious and start loving our bodies. I’m sure we all need a little boost, whether it’s Claire’s motivational bootcamp classes or my expertise in the beauty field. Let’s uncover the beauty secrets to looking your best this Summer.

What is the largest organ in the body?
Yes… it’s your skin! So lets start there. |

1.      Body Brushing (5min per day – before you shower)

–          Use a natural/cactus bristle brush
–          Brush your skin in a circular upward motion towards the heart

Benefits:
–          Increases circulation in the skin therefore helping to reduce cellulite
–          Encourages new cell renewal
–          Helps with muscle tone and helps the skin to absorb nutrients.

2.     Exfoliating (2 x per week, face and body)

–          Use different exfoliators/scrubs on your face than what you would use on your body.
–          Don’t over exfoliate (over exfoliation can stimulate the skin to produce too much oil, this results in breakouts or sensitivity).

Benefits:
–          Improves texture
–          Evens out skin tone
–          Buffing dead skin away help keep pores unclogged
–          Helps prevent break outs
–          Leads to a visibly brighter skin

Homemade recipe for a body scrub:
–          ½ Lemon – Vit C (Lightening)
–          ½ cup sugar – Glycolic acid (Improves texture)
–           1 tbls Olive oil – Vit E (Healing)
–          1 tbls Honey – Anti oxidant ( Locks in water)

Mix all together and scrub body for 3 – 5 minutes.
Results: a silky soft skin

Products highly recommended:
Body:  Fruity Peel [Comfortzone] ;
Face: Active Pureness Scrub [Comfortzone]
Professional Treatment: Rejuvenating AHA Peels

Tip: Whenever exfoliating, especially with AHA, PHA, BHA remember to always wear a sun protection (exfoliating exposes new cells that need extra protection).
