Dry Brush Your Way to Your Summer Body 500 250 Facercise

Dry Brush Your Way to Your Summer Body

Summer is right around the corner and if you haven’t started a body sculpting regimen, now is the time! One of the best ways to complement your exercise and No Lipo Lipo routines is with dry brushing. It’s an old school technique that yields modern results—the kind that rival risky surgeries like liposuction. In just a few minutes per day, you’ll tone muscles and shed dead skin cells to reveal a rosy, youthful glow.

Use one of our Sisal Louffas imported from Germany to achieve the best results possible. They are the highest quality you can find and very long-lasting. Dry brush right before your morning shower and use upward motions. For in-depth instructions, purchase our No Lipo Lipo DVD or click this link.

Here are five ways that dry brushing will help you feel confident about your summer body.

1. Dry Brushing Unleashes Your Inner Glow

It boosts circulation and blood flow, which feeds more oxygen to the skin. The result is a brighter complexion and healthy, natural glow.

2. Smoother, Softer Skin

This technique is one of the best ways to exfoliate, which detoxifies the skin, unclogs pores and expedites cell turnover. You’ll experience less breakouts and softer, smoother skin.

3. It Stimulates the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system helps flush toxins from your body. When it’s not working properly, these toxins build up and lead to weight gain and illness. Dry brushing stimulates this process so that cellular waste is eliminated faster.

4. Reduced the Appearance of Cellulite

With improved circulation and detoxification, skin becomes firmer. This helps reduce the appearance of unsightly cellulite.

5. It Boosts Overall Health

Research shows that dry brushing can improve your mood, digestion and kidney function. This leads to a much healthier, happier you.

5 Tips for Sculpting Your Summer Body 500 334 Facercise

5 Tips for Sculpting Your Summer Body

body sculptingSummer is around the corner—and there’s no better time to focus on body sculpting. While there are no overnight fixes, you can make a difference quickly—for example, No Lipo Lipo results can occur in a matter of weeks. If you follow some or all of the tips below on a consistent basis, you can build lean muscle, burn fat and appear sleeker and more toned. Your confidence will soar and you’ll feel summer ready. What are you waiting for?

1. Lean Out

Lean protein is key to sculpting your body and losing inches. It helps you build lean muscle mass, which makes you appear more toned and increases the number of calories burned every day. Load up on lean protein sources such as eggs, quinoa, chicken, turkey, beans, lentils, peas, salmon, tuna, mackerel and shrimp.

2. Build Muscle

Strength and resistance training are the best ways to build muscle. Many women are afraid to use weights and resistance because they think they will “bulk up.” Your goal is simply to use resistance and weights to tone and build lean muscle; doing some body weight and dumbbell exercises will not make you get too big. Try moves like lunges, squats, dead lifts, bench press and dumbbell curls and rows. For abs, try planks and hanging leg raises.

3. Burn Fat

Two of my favorite ways to burn fat are to drink green tea and do cardio. Green tea contains EGCG, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to help burn fat. It also helps hydrate and flush the toxins from your system, which aids weight loss. Cardio exercise helps you burn fat and calories, while building a healthy heart and lungs. It also gives you energy, improves sleep, increases bone density and bolsters your mood.

4. Dry Brush

Dry brushing exfoliates and boosts lymphatic drainage, which flushes toxins and excess water from the body. This helps eliminate bloat and encourages healthy digestion. Dry brushing also boosts circulation, which promotes the elimination of metabolic waste. This can help prevent and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

5. Do No Lipo Lipo

No Lipo Lipo is a massage technique that you can perform on yourself in the comfort of your own home. It breaks down cellulite and fat in the connective tissue while reversing gravity and tightening the skin. Regular practice promotes weight loss and results in the appearance of a more sculpted, toned body. The No Lipo Lipo DVD shows you how to perform the technique on yourself so you can achieve your best body. No Lipo Lipo results are enhanced when performed in conjunction with dry brushing.

No Lipo Lipo Dry Brushing Technique

body sculptingDry brushing is truly a remarkable body sculpting tool that should be included in everyone’s daily regimen. It’s absolutely step one in obtaining your dream body. When you dry brush using our sisal louffa mitt and strap, you remove the dead skin cells, stimulate circulation, boost detoxification, break down cellulite deposits and improve muscle tone. After a week of daily dry brushing, your skin will actually begin to glow and appear tighter, more toned and lifted!

Dry brushing is actually best performed first thing in the morning, before showering. Our sisal louffa mitt and strap are manufactured in Germany and created specifically for use with No Lipo Lipo. At first, they may seem a little rough on the skin, but this is a good thing! As your skin gradually begins to detox, the sensitivity will lessen.

The Method

Start by sitting on a stool or edge of your bathtub. You will dry brush each section of your body 30 times. If you want to accelerate your results, go for more strokes per area. With the sisal louffa mitt, begin by brushing the bottom of the foot from the toes to the heel, then the top of the foot from the toes to the ankle. Next brush the front and back of the leg from the ankle to the knee using quick back and forth strokes. Proceed to brush from the knee to the top of the front of your thigh and inner and outer thigh areas using quick back and forth strokes, making certain to cover the entire thigh area. Then repeat the same sequence on the opposite side of your body. Brush using upward strokes over the entire buttock and hip areas.

Brush up your waistline from hip bones to your natural waistline, covering the entire front of your body. Brush the palm of your hand from fingers to the wrist and repeat on the back of your hand. Brush upward from wrist to elbow, front and back. Now brush from elbow to shoulder, front and back. Brush under the bust from side to center of body in semi-circular strokes. Brush from the armpit across the top of the bust area to prevent or eliminate a flabby armpit. For the back of the body, you will use the louffa strap. While standing, place the strap at the back of your ankles. While holding the handles, shimmy the strap up the back of your body, working your way up to your neck as if drying yourself with a towel.

Care

To clean your mitts and strap ~ shake them outside. NEVER WASH. Always remember to replace mitts & strap once they become too soft.

6 Ways to Reduce Cellulite 500 333 Facercise

6 Ways to Reduce Cellulite

Cellulite is a stubborn condition that both men and women suffer from—and one that is difficult to improve. It gives the appearance of dimpled skin everywhere from the legs and glutes to the arms and stomach. Many seek surgical treatments out of desperation to try and remove cellulite, but the results are unpredictable and often mediocre. The good news is, you can use a non-surgical body sculpting technique like the ones below to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite.

1. Flush Away the Toxins

It’s essential to drink lots of water to flush the toxins from your body that dwell under the skin’s fat layers and make skin appear bumpy. Proper hydration also plumps up the cells to make skin look smoother. For maximum benefits, squeeze lemon into your water and add green tea to your hydration plan.

2. Dry Brush

Dry brushing is an excellent technique for detoxifying skin. It stimulates circulation and breaks down fatty connective tissue to help skin glow and appear smoother. Regular dry brushing also helps prevent the formation of cellulite.

3. Apply Retinol

Retinol helps smooth dimpled areas and boosts collagen production. Apply a gentle topical retinoid like our Retinol Skin Conditioner nightly to diminish the appearance of cellulite.

4. Avoid Refined Carbs & Sugars

Refined carbs and sugars cause inflammation that makes fat cells grow and retain fluid. These fluids accumulate, slow down circulation and breakdown collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.

5. No Lipo Lipo

One of the best ways to eliminate unsightly cellulite is with No Lipo Lipo, a powerful, non-invasive body sculpting technique. It tones, firms and helps break down fatty tissue. Best of all, it can be performed in the comfort of your own home—you can now stream the No Lipo Lipo DVD on Amazon!

6. Infrared Saunas

Sweating in an infrared sauna detoxes pores and boosts circulation to facilitate delivery of oxygen to skin cells. This stimulates collagen production and improves skin tone and elasticity, which reduces the appearance of cellulite.

Ways to Stay on Track Memorial Day Weekend 396 417 Facercise

Ways to Stay on Track Memorial Day Weekend

body sculptingThis weekend marks the unofficial start of summer! For many this means outdoor fun, barbecues and special events. No matter what this weekend means to you, there is no better time to get your summer body in gear and start rocking a healthy, youthful glow. If you practice moderation, do your facial exercises daily and follow the body sculpting tips below, you’ll look your best this weekend and beyond.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Proper hydration is essential this weekend and throughout the summer. Drinking water and green tea helps flush the toxins from your system and fills you up. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so if you think you’re hungry but aren’t sure, try a glass of water. Hydration also keeps our cells plumped up! When our skin cells are dehydrated, collagen breaks down and dulls our skin. Drink lemon water for an extra detoxifying boost.

Work it Out

Even though it’s a holiday weekend, make time to exercise. You may consume more calories than usual, so it’s definitely not the time to slack off of your routine. Make time even when you’re on vacation! If you can’t hit the gym or an exercise class, go for a run around the neighborhood. It will boost serotonin levels and circulation, which imparts a healthy glow.

Sculpt It

It’s essential to stick to your dry brushing and No Lipo Lipo body sculpting regimens as well. If you haven’t started these programs, there is no better time than the present. You will see results in a matter of weeks. Do these routines even if you are out of town. You can easily stash one of our Sisal Louffas in your suitcase and all you need for No Lipo Lipo is some Nourishing E Oil.

Slather on the Sunscreen

You can never wear too much sunscreen! There’s a chance you’ll be outdoors more than normal, and even if you aren’t, damage can occur in just a few minutes of sun exposure. Apply it to your face and body a minimum of 20 minutes before you head outside and re-apply throughout the day.

Pamper Yourself

Your skin will be on display more than usual during the warmer months, so do an exfoliating mask like Face Lift to Go. You can do the Body Lifting Masque on your body to make skin appear firmer, more toned and lifted.

Stick to the Program

Don’t skip a beat when it comes to your daily facial exercises. If you’re on the road this weekend, you can stream the Ultimate Facercise on Amazon Video.

Be Moderate

Give yourself a cheat day, but not the entire weekend. Make sure not to arrive anywhere on an empty stomach, or you will be sure to overeat. Have a protein-packed snack before you head out and set some boundaries in advance. If you plan to imbibe, limit it to one or two whine spritzers or something similar. Drink a glass of water in between each alcoholic drink to maintain hydration and prevent a hangover.

5 Steps for Reducing Crepey Skin 500 333 Facercise

5 Steps for Reducing Crepey Skin

body sculptingIf you have crepey, loose skin on your arms, there are several body sculpting tips that can improve the situation. Crepey skin is a very common problem associated with aging, and caused by several factors. As we age, our skin retains less moisture and our bodies produce less elastin and collagen. These proteins give your skin elasticity to stretch and contract, so when they break down, your skin sags and wrinkles.

If you want to avoid crepey skin, incorporate the following into your anti-aging skincare regimen. You’ll see a difference in about 10 days to two weeks—and it will be well worth it.

1. Silica and Vitamin C

These two nutrients promote healthy, elastic skin. Load up on fruits and veggies that are rich in vitamin C, like oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, pineapple, papaya, cantaloupe, red pepper and berries. Good sources of silica include leeks, green beans, garbanzo beans, rhubarb, cucumber, mango, kelp, whole oats, buckwheat, brown rice, alfalfa and green leafy veggies such as spinach, asparagus, celery and kale. Strawberries, bananas, broccoli and Brussels sprouts are all excellent sources source of both vitamin C and silica.

2. Load Up on Sunscreen

Sunscreen is an essential part of your anti-aging skincare regimen. Cover your arms and hands with sunscreen every morning and anytime you go outside when the sun is out. Sun damage decreases skin’s elasticity, resulting in crepey skin and wrinkles. Try our Protective Sunblock SPF 30.

3. Apply Your Vitamins

Apply our Nourishing Vitamin E Oil all over arms immediately after you shower in the morning. Wait a few minutes and let it soak in. Then apply Vitamin C Complex Serum. Once it’s absorbed, apply sunscreen. In the evening, apply Retinol Skin Conditioner all over your arms. Do this daily and you will see results!

4. Dry Brush

Dry brushing boosts circulation and helps shed dead cells that dulls your skin’s appearance. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, which flushes the toxins from your system. If you dry brush on a daily basis with one of our Sisal louffas, your skin will appear more lifted, tightened and glowing.

5. No Lipo Lipo

No Lipo Lipo will help you get that summer body like nothing else. This system breaks down fatty tissue and cellulite to trim inches all over your body. No Lipo Lipo uses strong upward sweeping motions to reverse gravity and firm skin while boosting the lymphatic system. The results are unparalleled when it comes to body sculpting.

7 Tips for Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain 500 333 Facercise

7 Tips for Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain

body sculpting techniqueThe holidays are one of the best times of year, but if you’re not careful, you can pack on the pounds. Studies show that the average American gains anywhere between 5 and 10 pounds each holiday season. If you want to avoid falling prey to that stat, try my body sculpting technique and favorites tips to keep holiday weight gain at bay.

1. Stick to Your Exercise Routine

The holidays are the busiest time of year! While it’s tempting to forgo your workouts, this is the worst thing you can do. Schedule each workout like an appointment and stick to it no matter what. If anything, you should increase your physical activity to compensate for some of the extra calories you may consume. Keeping doing your facial exercises as well to maintain the results you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

2. Dry Brush

Dry brushing is fundamental because it boosts circulation to boost your overall glow and stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps rid your body of toxins. Keep it up during the holidays and your skin will be luminous.

3. Avoid Carbs After 5 pm

Stay away from carbs after 5 pm! I live by this rule and promote it for those trying to lose weight and enhance their results from No Lipo Lipo. It especially helps this time of year, when temptation is upon us. Fill up on veggies, lean protein and fiber-rich foods so that you aren’t tempted to consume fattening simple carbs.

4. Don’t Leave the House Hungry

Stick to your normal meal routine and don’t skip meals so that you can eat more at a holiday meal or event. This leads to a sluggish metabolism and will result in you overeating later on in the day or at the event.

5. Do No Lipo Lipo

Whether you’re already using this revolutionary body sculpting technique or are just starting, this is the perfect time of year to do it. It’s part of my own beauty and anti-aging triple threat that includes facial exercises and dry brushing.

6. Slow Down

Eat your holiday meal very slowly. Savor each bite so that your stomach has time to signal your brain that it’s full, which usually takes about 20 minutes.

7. Re-Gift Treats

If you receive loads of food baskets and treats this time of year, bring them to the office or re-gift them to someone who is not so fortunate.

Studies show that the less rest we get, the hungrier we are the next day. If you’re plan to attend a bbq, wedding, party or special event this weekend, get adequate sleep the night before. You’ll look well-rested and will make better choices at the buffet table. Plus, you’ll get better results from exercise when you sleep well the night before. Which leads us to…

Just because it’s a holiday weekend doesn’t mean it’s time to take a break from your exercise routine. In fact, you have extra time on your hands if you don’t have to work, so there are no excuses. Working out increases your energy levels and revs your metabolism. It will also help you burn off some of the extra calories you may consume at those Labor Day fetes. Don’t forget the healthy glow you’ll get from the boost in circulation.

Dry brushing will also give your skin a healthy glow that will make you feel confident if you’ll be wearing a bathing suit or summer-y clothes.

4. Make Good Choices

While you may have some incredible spreads to enjoy, you don’t need to try everything offered. Start by filling up your plate with some low-calorie, fiber-rich options like veggies and fruit. Let your healthy choices digest for a bit so that you’re not as hungry and then proceed to enjoy small portions of some of your favorites. You’ll eat much less than if you went full steam from the get go. Also, don’t just eat something because it’s there; only indulge in foods that you really like.
