Lovin your Body (skin-wise)

Many times we focus on our face, only to neglect the body. A beautiful glow from our body skin speaks volumes as well. There are a couple of steps to maintain the moisture of our body each and every day : 

1. Shower using alcohol free body wash - that suits your skin type
2. Use a body scrub once or twice a week. It exfoliates away dead skin and allows better absorption of products after. Cheaper alternatives are nylon net scrubbies. Don't scrub too often though! It can dry skin.
3. Dry out with clean towel.
4. Apply body oil or lotion. 
5. Apply firming cream.


Recently, I've been using Alqvimia Shape Reducer Body Elixir and Alqvimia Cleopatra Body Oil. In Malaysia, these products are sold at beauty salons (as I know so far). They are made out of natural ingredients which are a plus! 

From experience I noticed natural ingredients do not make your skin overdependent on it. There is this weird thing with products not made from natural ingredients - they make your skin extra dry when you stop using them. Ever noticed hands that always use hand cream and how it gets extra dry without it as compared to hands which don't use hand cream? Anyway.

When I first opened the bottles, there was a whif of seductive + musky + vintage scent. The Cleopatra Body Oil makes the skin so velvety and sensual. Just a few drops is enough for the whole body. Following the oil, I applied the firming cream on particular areas making it smell lovely too.

The results are pleasing! Within a week my skin regained its moisture levels. Within 3 weeks, I noticed my butt and thigh areas becoming firmer with less cellulites. These products are great help in a dry climate and a busy cellulite-causing routine.

That glowing body starts from young - it starts from a proper skincare routine at this moment. 

Big thanks to Joans Parlour de Beaute (location : Taiping town center, Perak, Malaysia) for recommending them =)
