Although it is one of the sexiest parts of our anatomy, the back is often one of the most forgotten areas . It hardly plays a role in our beauty routines or in our daily exercises. But, now that summer is coming, it is time to take care of it with beauty routines and exercises.
How can you have perfect back skin?
With the arrival of warm weather, tank tops, low-cut dresses and bikinis are back in fashion. A dress, blouse or top that leaves your back bare is a safe bet. We can start with something simple and that gives us good results: a good exfoliation. In the shower and on alternate days, an exfoliant will help us clean impurities from the skin, allowing us to eliminate dead cells and bring out our brightest layer.
And if you don't want to risk showing off your dry back, with pimples or imperfections, get to work and prepare your skin with a simple 3-step beauty ritual so that your back looks perfect and becomes the center of attention:
- Start your beauty ritual with a relaxing bath . The back is very sensitive and receptive to daily stress, so it will appreciate you pampering it by immersing yourself in a bath to which you can add some oils such as lavender, perfect for its relaxing and moisturizing properties.
- After a few minutes of relaxation in the bathtub, do a peeling with the help of a brush to remove dead cells. We recommend an exfoliating cream with active ingredients from grape or shea butter, ideal for its high antioxidant and moisturizing power.
- Afterwards, once the skin is dry, nourish it deeply with a moisturiser that also adds shine. You can mix a little of your highlighter with your body moisturiser and apply it to the areas you want to highlight and illuminate instantly. You will get satiny and radiant skin.
How can you get rid of annoying pimples on your back?
The first thing you need to do is get rid of impurities. Oily skin causes pimples and although it takes perseverance to treat it, everything has a solution. Clean your skin with specific products and do a peeling once a week, as long as the impurities are not infected. Afterwards, take a shower. In addition, you should shower immediately after exercising to avoid the concentration of fat in this area and the use of products such as oils is completely prohibited.
If your goal is to have a radiant back, put your hair up in a bun or ponytail until then, since loose hair on your back causes more sebum which will only create more pimples on your back.
After a deep cleansing and subsequent hydration, it is time to get serious about your exercise routines: you must do certain exercises that improve the health and shape of your back.
Exercises to tone your back
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, having a strong back protects you during training of other muscle groups. And it also makes the body more symmetrical. If you have wide hips and you don't like that, training your back will help you have a better figure. And have better posture.
These are the five exercises with which you can begin training.
Dumbbell Deadlift : Place your feet shoulder-width apart or in a position that allows you to maintain good balance and where you won't sway. Grab the dumbbells with your palms facing down. Your hands should be a few inches wider than shoulder-width apart. Now take a deep breath and keep your abs as tight as possible to protect your lower back. As you go up, keep your gaze forward without bending your neck too much and keep your back straight. As you go down, do so carefully and always be careful not to bend your back. The bar should be as close to your legs as possible. Do 3 sets of 15 reps.
Wide-grip seated row: Keep your knees slightly bent. Your grip should be wider than shoulder-width apart so that your lats are working. Keep your wrists straight and your back straight. It is important to keep your abs tight to protect your lower back. As you stretch, breathe in and out once back, tensing your muscles for 1-2 seconds. Never arch your back and always look forward. Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions.
Dumbbell Row : Grab the weight and bring the dumbbell towards your pockets. Hold the tension back for 1-2 seconds and lower it back down in a controlled manner. Perform 4 sets of 10 reps.
Dumbbell Pullover: Lie face up on a bench with your head fully supported. Grab a dumbbell and place it in front of your face. Keep your arms extended but not completely rigid. Slowly bring your arms back, inhale as far as you can, and exhale as you come back up. Perform 4 sets of 10.
Pull-ups: Grip the pull-up bar wider than your shoulders, but not too wide or you could injure your shoulders. Ideally, the same width as you would grab a bar for shoulder presses.
Once you are hanging, use your legs to help you climb up.
Once at the top, exhale and hold for 2 seconds, then come back down in a controlled manner.
How can you have a perfect back?
It is essential to always maintain a correct posture. A beauty tip is useless if we do not constantly take care of our back in terms of posture and stability, since a good posture can help you achieve a slimmer figure, gaining in attractiveness and elegance. Avoid hunched postures at all costs and if you cannot do so, practice relaxation or stretching techniques when you get home, as well as exercises to relieve back pain, since the spine should always be in a straight line with the body to avoid deviations in the future.
In addition, you should be careful when lifting anything heavy, and always do so with your knees bent. Likewise, you should get used to not holding the phone between your shoulder and head: if you have to talk or write or use the device a lot, it is best to use headphones, which are much more comfortable and healthier for your back.
At work we should sit with our back straight and a comfortable backrest, putting our feet on the floor (no crossed legs! They encourage the appearance of cellulite) and placing the computer screen and the table at the correct height.
Sunbathing with care
The sun is beneficial for our health and our skin, as long as we use UVA and UVB protection and protect ourselves during the hottest hours of the day.
Sunscreens are becoming more and more convenient to use, and come in formats such as sprays or mousses, which are quick to spread over the skin.
Also, if you have sensitive skin, it is advisable to be careful with pool products , as high concentrations of chlorine can cause skin problems. Therefore, after the pool or the beach, you should rinse your skin with fresh water and always take care to keep it moisturized, in order to maintain the tone and elasticity of your skin.
