It was all good just a few months. Back in January you were all: “Woo hoo, New year, new me”. Fast forward to May, and you need to make up for lost time.

Zero exercise required, all you have to do is read…

Relax and release toxins with a nice full body soak. According to a recent study from the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine at Loughborough University, “an hour-long hot bath can boost metabolic health and cause an anti-inflammatory response similar to exercise.” Wait, what? So, yes, a soothing soak can yield the same health and wellness benefits as exercise. The art of bathing can burn over 100 calories, relieve tension, and help improve your metabolism. Dude, where’s my tub?

Set your body up for success with a good scrub down. This crucial step gently buffs away dead skin cells to reveal soft, smooth skin. A thorough scrub-a-dub-dub also gives skin a great base for subsequent products. Most scrubs contain finely crushed particles (like almond shells or sugar crystals), so be gentle. If you find you need a little extra grit, apply to dry skin while wearing exfoliating gloves. Your self tanners, lotions, slimming potions, and oils will all work 1000% times better on freshly exfoliated skin.
