How to Live A Healthy Lifestyle?

The bottom line principle of losing weight is to consume less calories than you expend on a daily basis. This is called a calorie deficit

You can use a free online calculator to understand how many calories you need on a daily basis. This is determined by your gender, age, height, weight and how active you are. You can then download free calorie counter apps on your smartphone to keep track of how many calories are in the food and drinks that you intake.

It is important to note that calorie counting might be helpful for some people, but can also be dangerous for some people’s mental health if you find yourself becoming fixated on it. Eating too few calories can also be dangerous and have the opposite effect on losing weight.

If you don’t want to count calories or know that this might impact your mental health, there are other ways you can lose weight:

  • 1. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables
  • 2. Get more active and try to exercise at least three times a week
  • 3. Drink plenty of water at least three litres a day
  • 4. Eat high fibre foods to help you feel full for longer
  • 5. Use a smaller plate or bowl with meals to reduce your portion size

01 How to feel happy in your own skin?

How to feel happy in your own skin?

The Clarins philosophy: respect every woman's body, regardless of her weight. Women carry so much on their shoulders that they often forget to take care of themselves first

The female body is incredible - it creates life itself, and therefore it’s important to look after your body in order to feel happy in your skin.

Take time to relax and let go of any tension built up during the day with Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate. Let yourself go and indulge in a relaxing moment just for you. Light a Clarins candle, breathe, and relax.

Discover the benefits of aroma-phyto care. This is the first trick to keeping your figure in shape. A balancing act between your body and mind, where positive energy acts as a regulator.

Listen to yourself!

Weight loss should be supervised by a nutritionist who will ensure that your diet is on the right track. Foods are weighed and chosen for their low calories, and their carbohydrate and protein intake is calculated. Fresh fruit and vegetables are rich in fibre and minerals. But dieting is not about stopping to eat, starving yourself, causing deficiencies or putting your health at risk.

Losing weight must be done sensibly and consistently, week after week, with a weight loss goal in mind.

Lymphatic drainage

A draining massage reduces water retention and helps flush out toxins. At home or in the Clarins spa, taking care of your body to maintain a healthy-looking figure is not always about your weight. Losing weight can be a health risk. Instead, stay focused on your slimming goals with a smile and willpower.

02 How can I get firm, beautiful skin?

A small exercise that you can do once or twice a week, when showering. Exfoliating is the first step in any beauty routine and restores your skin’s suppleness and softness. Treat your skin to a toning or smoothing step so it’s beautiful and smooth!

03 How can I reduce the appearance of cellulite?

How can I reduce the appearance of cellulite?

Clarins shaping products use natural ingredients to restore the skin's suppleness and shape and do good to the skin without damaging it

Body Shaping Cream gently resculpts and refirms your figure. Poppy extract, caffeine and quince extract help to streamline your figure and improve the elasticity and tone of your skin.

Super Restorative Redefining Body Care is for women over 50. Its effect results from the combination of crowberry extract and caffeine, which refines the waist and stomach. Quince leaf extract in the Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Expert acts on cells that store, burn and produce fibres that cause cellulite. This slimming expert reduces the appearance of cellulite on the thighs and buttocks.

Formulated with plant extracts, Clarins slimming and firming treatments are good for the skin without harming the environment.

04 How to maintain your weight

Comment éviter un régime ?

Weight loss and weight gain can be caused by various factors – physiological and psychological

Stress can make some put on weight and others lose it. It is a source of discontent, offset by compulsive eating or, the opposite: a radical loss of appetite. Learning how to listen to and understand your body is important. It is constantly sending you small signals that something is wrong and weight fluctuations are proof of this. Take time to relax and let go of any tension built up during the day with Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate and discover the benefits of aroma-phyto care.

Other tips to maintain your weight include:

  • Don’t ban any food groups but instead eat in moderation. This will help you avoid binge eating
  • Find healthy alternatives to junk food and snacks that you enjoy eating and keep these stocked at home instead
  • Plan your meals

06 Staying slim after 50

Staying slim after 50

As we head towards the menopause, changes in our hormone levels can lead to increased levels of body fat, particularly around the waistline

Enriched with organic extract of Japanese cedar buds (cryptomeria), which helps to slow down fat storage, Clarins is designed to help slim your waistline, helping to fight water retention and create a smoother, cleaner silhouette.

To apply, begin by making large circular movements across the stomach and lower abdomen. Then, gently knead your stomach from right to left to ensure the product penetrates deeply into the skin.

Finish by placing your hands on either side of your waist and pressing your fingertips along your waistline and under the ribs to stimulate lymphatic drainage.
