“I have dry hair.” Here’s a statement that often comes up in front of the bathroom mirror. Rough feel, dull color and split ends? Don’t panic! If you have the dreaded feeling that it’s an inevitability and that you’ll have to cut it all off, rest assured. Here are a few tips from Phyto experts that will help you care for your dry hair and transform it into healthy, shiny hair.

Naturally dry or parched, hair that lacks moisture requires special care. Brittle and rough hair that has lost shine and elasticity, for those of you who face this problem, we have found the best advice. Let’s see what are the important factors that cause dry hair and how to neutralize them:

The Heat

You’ve probably heard it – heat is the enemy №1 of beautiful hair. We need to cut down on heat and sun exposure. Dry hair carefully by holding the hair dryer far enough away from your strands, and always with its nozzle. Finish with cold air to close the hair scales. Space out or eliminate procedures with straighteners, irons and electric brushes. If you can’t do without them, use a protective product. Don’t take continuous hot showers. As for drying, always finish with a jet of lukewarm water.

To avoid hair breakage, use a natural fiber brush. Do not pull or force your hair. Use a detangler or leave-in serum to make your mane more manageable. If needed, treat yourself to an everyday mask that can be applied to damp hair in the morning.

Chlorine and chemicals

Not all ingredients in beauty products are good for our skin and hair. Even water is not good for us because of the chlorine, which dries our hair out a lot. When it comes to hair care, try to use gentle hair care products. Make sure your shampoo and conditioner are alcohol-free and as natural as possible. Space out coloring and avoid using too many styling products. Most cleansing products reduce the production of sebum that naturally nourishes the hair. So reduce the frequency of washing. To neutralize chlorine, add a few spoonfuls of apple vinegar or lemon juice to the rinse water.

Lack of nutrition

Just like your skin, your hair needs careful treatment and a regular supply of nutrients to stay healthy and supple. To that end, we use a hair mask at least twice a week, and when we have time, we turn to homemade masks. Even a simple oil or mix of essential oils can help you fight dryness. Treat yourself to hair care products with moisturizing ingredients such as vegetable oils, essential fatty acids and keratin. Don’t forget that certain foods rich in iron, vitamin B and good fats contribute to the good appearance of the mane. These include salmon, olive oil, lentils, grains, wheat germ and nuts.

5 Tips To Moisturize Dry Hair

We understand that dry hair is porous and in great need of hydration and nutrition. Without it, it breaks, is dull and splits. It is also very fragile: the scalp does not produce enough sebum to protect it. This makes it particularly prone to external aggressions such as the sun, dust, wind, rubbing with hats, caps, scarves or helmets. Dry hair requires special attention and a special hair routine.

1/ Oil baths to nourish dry hair

You want to make an oil bath? Massage the lengths of your hair, avoiding the roots and scalp, with the oil of your choice. However, some oils are better suited to certain hair types. For example, if your hair tends to get greasy easily, choose jojoba or hazelnut oil, which will nourish your hair without making it greasy. The most nourishing pure vegetable oils for dry hair are coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, argan oil and avocado oil. Castor oil is also particularly recommended as it boosts hair growth.

Then wrap your hair in a towel for at least 30 minutes. For a deep treatment, you can leave it overnight. Then shampoo your hair gently.

2/ Shea butter to give shine to dry hair

The fatty acids in shea butter are great allies for dry hair lacking shine and luster. To benefit from all its nourishing virtues, it is advisable to choose it pure, to take a hazelnut of it to brush the hair of the point towards the roots without however touching the scalp. Leave it on overnight for more effectiveness. Where to find it? In some organic stores or in natural care stores.

3/ The egg yolk to give shine to dry hair

The egg yolk mask is a natural grandmother’s trick. It restores shine to the hair. The recipe is simple: mix the egg yolk with a tablespoon of olive oil to create a creamy texture. Then apply the mixture to the length of the hair. After a 10-minute break, rinse thoroughly and proceed to shampoo.

4/ Spacing out shampoos to avoid stressing the hair

The scalp of dry hair does not produce much sebum. Therefore, it does not need to be washed every day, as washing it too often would tend to damage it. You can also use the cowash method if your hair is dry. This method of washing without shampoo is gentler. Why not also try a sebum cure? This involves stopping washing your hair for a month in order to heal your hair and to be able to space out shampoos when you start washing again.

5/ Aloe vera masks are all good

Aloe vera is a plant with many benefits. Its gel is made up of numerous minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids that provide hydration and softness to the hair fiber. Using it as a mask on damp hair nourishes the hair to restore shine and radiance. It can be applied from the roots, along the entire length of the hair and up to the ends. As it dries, the hair will absorb the nutrients from the aloe vera and regain all its vitality.

How to build a skincare routine for beginners? In this article I will answer that question and share with you the easiest skincare routine in 9 steps for beginners that will keep your skin looking healthy and radiant!

The face is undoubtedly the most valued part of the body for many of us. It is the object of all our attention, and we make sure that it looks its best for us but also for those we meet on a daily basis, at home or at work. We track down acne pimples, we fight against oily or dry skin and we try to get rid of the slightest imperfection. But did you know that the best way to take care of our pretty skin is to apply a skin care routine? We tell you everything!

What is a skin care routine?

A Skincare routine is a ritual of hygiene and beauty gestures that we adopt according to steps and a certain regularity, to pamper our face and preserve its natural radiance.

Why have a facial routine? Because the skin is like a plant, it needs to be watered every day to grow in good health. Like a plant, your facial skin needs daily care to treat and prevent all that is :

• pimples
• oily skin, dry skin, acne-prone skin
• dull complexion
• wrinkles
• other imperfections

The skincare routine is therefore necessary to provide your skin with everything it needs to be healthy and to fight (or prevent) visible imperfections. You would be wrong to neglect its importance.

Regularity and the use of good products are the secrets of a good routine.

What are the different steps of a Skincare routine?

To set up a facial care routine, you need to follow 9 steps. And yes, 9 steps is a lot, but don’t panic, you don’t have to do everything. We’ll tell you which ones are mandatory and which ones are not (but which can still help solve a specific problem. We will come back to this).

Moreover, regularity in the different steps, combined with the use of products adapted to your skin will inevitably give you visible results. A woman with dry skin, for example, will not use the same products as a woman with oily skin and vice versa.

Step 1: make-up removal

We can already see you widening your eyes! Yes, you have to remove your makeup even when you are not wearing makeup. With the external aggressions (dust, pollution even the hands carried to the face), you will be astonished to see the residues which you will withdraw from your skin by applying a make-up remover to it. Makeup removal should be done morning and night.

Step 2: cleansing

The second step is to use a gel or soap to clean your face right after the micellar water. Because yes, when we sleep, our face continues to secrete sebum without forgetting the impurities which can settle there. It is thus essential to get rid of it. This cleaning is to be carried out morning and evening. Remember to use products adapted to your needs to avoid aggressing your skin.

Step 3: Exfoliation

At least once a week (for example on Sundays), a deep cleansing is necessary just after step 2 to remove dead skin cells. You should therefore apply a scrubbing or exfoliating product to your face to obtain smooth skin but above all to prepare for the absorption of your moisturizer and the renewal of your cells.

Step 4: the mask

This step is also to be done once a week (at least) right after your scrub. Moisturizing, soothing, anti-stain or purifying, there are several types of masks adapted to the needs of each skin. Depending on the mask chosen, it nourishes the skin, unclogs and tightens pores, reduces blemishes, regulates sebum and can restore the skin’s hydrolipidic film. In short, it is an essential step in restoring radiance and vitality to your skin.

Step 5: Tonic lotion

Use it every day, morning and evening, just after cleansing your skin with your gel or soap and also after your mask (the day of your scrub and mask). It allows to sweep away the last impurities and to eliminate the remains of make-up remover or the traces of limestone if you pass your face under water. In the morning, it also refreshes the complexion and rids the epidermis of excess sebum produced during the night.

Step 6: the serum

This is a treatment that is applied after the toner and before the day cream. It serves as an intensive care layer before applying your daily moisturizing dose. A serum is not a moisturizer and will never replace your face cream. You must therefore put it on when you are looking for a very specific action. Sometimes morning and evening. Sometimes morning or evening. It depends on your needs. Basically, a serum is mostly used for the following problems:

• Severe dehydration that can’t be addressed with a cream
• A problem of spots or scars on the skin: the serum will have a deeper action than the cream
• A problem of radiance: dull face for example
• Acne

The serum is also useful if you have a problem that you are treating with a cream but you want to increase its effectiveness with the associated serum.

Step 7: Eye contour cream

An eye contour product is necessary to smooth the skin in the morning when you wake up and get rid of the bags under your eyes. It is a care adapted to this sensitive area that will take care of your look and ensure that you do not look tired.

Step 8: moisturizing

To prepare your face to face the day as soon as you get out of bed and after cleansing and nourishing it, you need to moisturize it deeply to prevent your skin from cracking if you have dry skin, from becoming sallow if you have combination or oily skin, or from suffering from discomfort even when you are lucky enough to have normal skin. This 8th step is also to be done morning and evening.

Step 9: Sun protection

We don’t always think about it, but applying sun protection is an important part of your face routine, especially in our hot countries and even more so in hot weather, even when you’re not directly exposed to the sun. And just because you have black skin doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply sunscreen. Black and mixed-race skin is also exposed to the sun. This gesture is therefore essential to preserve your health and have a beautiful skin.

Required steps – The foundation for a facial routine

Have you just made the decision to take care of your face? Then these mandatory steps are for you. You don’t have the budget for these 9 steps either, so focus on the basics, on these mandatory steps. You don’t have dark circles or specific imperfections on your skin? Then you don’t need to apply these 9 steps, stick to the basics.

Here are the mandatory steps for your face care routine:

1. Makeup remover: morning and evening
2. Cleansing (with gel or soap): morning and evening
3. Scrubbing: at least once a week and at most 3 times a week
4. Mask: at least once a week and at most 3 times a week
5. Moisturizing cream: morning and evening
6. Sunscreen: during the day for those who live in sunny countries all year round and in summer only for those who experience intense periods of yver with cold weather.

The non-obligatory but important steps according to the need

For those who want to go further with rigor and regularity, here are the non-mandatory but important steps if you want to solve a specific problem of imperfections on your skin:

1. The tonic lotion
2. The serum
3. The eye contour treatment

These steps are only performed when you really need them.

Tips

The hardest and most important part of a routine is :

1- to be convinced of the importance of a routine: a healthy skin is a beautiful skin without make-up, even more beautiful with make-up and it is a skin without imperfections. Adopting a daily routine allows you to have this type of healthy skin.

2- Use the right products for your skin. The best way to do this is to test the products recommended to you or the products recommended by your favorite beauty store and listen to your skin. This way you will know which products are best for you and not someone else.

3- Be regular. Again and again. A routine is every day. Morning and evening. And at least once a week for the scrub and mask. You won’t get results by applying your products every 3 days or every 10 days. No! So be regular. And be patient.

Then, before you try to apply all the steps of the facial routine, get the basics of a facial routine right. Apply the mandatory steps with regularity before moving on to the extra steps. Be aware that your efforts are paying off with just the mandatory steps, and then you can move on to the extra steps if you find that you need them.

For those who want to apply all the steps of the routine and who do not have the financial means to buy all the products, rest assured and focus on the essentials: the mandatory steps and regularity. You will see visible results.

For those who have the purchasing power, who are convinced of the importance of a routine, who master the needs of their skin and who are already regular on the mandatory steps, you are certainly better equipped to go further and add everything that is serum, toner or other. And again, if you really need it.

On the other hand, don’t forget that there are natural options to take care of your skin. They are just as effective and inexpensive.

And finally, don’t give in (easily) to the overconsumption of beauty products. Take the time to test products, listen to your skin and identify those products that really work on you and stick to them. Your face care ritual can therefore be quite minimalist, just listen to your skin and it will thank you.

There, you know everything now. Here’s to your routine. And now!

What women like in a man ? There are many myths surrounding women’s preferences in men. They would only like slender, muscular, hairless men. We know that in reality all tastes are in nature. Some women love men who are a bit plump, others like bearded men… In short, it’s time to take stock!
There are many preconceived ideas about the selection criteria for finding love… It is often said that women like tall, gallant men, “dark brown with blue eyes”… But is it true?

To put an end to all these preconceived ideas, we asked the question to the main people concerned: women!

What attracts women to men ?

Women prefer tall men: myth or reality?

Reality! Respondents say they are attracted to tall men. At least taller than them.

But let’s not forget that there are plenty of good reasons to date a shorter man!

Women do not like hairy men: myth or reality?

Opinions are divided. 49.1% admit that a man with hair is much sexier. As for the remaining 50.9% of women, they find the hairiness of these men unpleasant and prefer those who wax. They find it more aesthetic and much softer…

Conclusion: men, women… do what you want with your hair!

Women like men in uniform: myth or reality?

Myth! No, think again, the man in uniform is not the object of all women’s fantasies. Only 39.5% of them said they find it attractive.

The rest say they like to look at them and find them very sexy, but they value the person more than the outfit. (No kidding!)

Women like men with big cars: myth or reality?

Myth, thank God! (Who else but sexist ads invented this myth, by the way?)

The women surveyed do not seem to have any particular attraction for men who have big cars! For 73.6% of women, a nice car is nice to look at, but it is not a selection criterion.

Hard blow for bad boys and macho men

Women like bad boys: myth or reality?

Myth! It is often said that women are attracted to bad boys. But it seems that this legend… is just a legend!

However. When we are young, it is true that we find bad boys attractive. But as you get older, bad guys aren’t really what you’re looking for anymore.

Moreover, 78.2% of the women interviewed said they prefer gentlemen, responsible and mature men. So even if for 21.8% of the women surveyed, bad boys bring spice to their lives, as they get older, expectations are not really the same!

Women like mysterious men: myth or reality?

Myth! First of all, what is a mysterious man? And even so, too much mystery kills the mystery.

Secrets (without turning into jealousy or paranoia) scare 78.2% of women. Openness and communication are much more successful (it’s not for nothing that it’s the secret of couples that last).

And ideally, a man who opens up and talks about his feelings, it’s all good!

Women like chivalrous men: myth or reality?

Reality! It’s not surprising that the vast majority of women appreciate gallantry, because it is proof of a certain education.

What they like most of all? That this spontaneity is sincere and not used as a seduction technique.

Nevertheless, 5.4% of women find chivalry “old-fashioned”.

Women like very muscular men: myth or reality?

Myth! Women like men who maintain themselves, like everyone else, but men who are too muscular are far from being unanimously approved.

72.8% of women admit they don’t like body-built men and some even prefer men with a bit of a belly. Body posi as you wish!

Women like powerful men: myth or reality?

Almost a myth!

Once again, opinions are divided. 55.3% of women claim to like men of power, especially for the charisma they exude.

But for 44.7% of those surveyed, power is synonymous with arrogance. To each his own, to each his own.

Women don’t like macho men: myth or reality?

Reality, no surprise. 84.1% of women say they don’t like macho men (even if the myth of the virile and protective man persists among most of the respondents).

As always, it’s all about nuance: a man can “play the man” (and yet, what does that mean?), but being misogynistic, certainly not!

3 Golden Rules To Flirt With A Woman

To approach a woman, yes, but not anyhow! Single men, you have probably already asked yourself how to seduce a woman? How to approach her without being too heavy? Here are the 5 golden rules not to forget to have all your chances.

There are as many ways to flirt as there are flirts. And as many people to charm. So, it is impossible for us to provide you with a manual, nor a guarantee. What we can tell you is that there are certain rules to respect in any situation.

1. Consent, the first rule of dating

If there was only one rule, it would be this one. You don’t hit on a woman or a man who doesn’t want to.

Very often, the signs are there. A look in the evening, a smile, a gesture, a discussion that has started. You tell yourself that you can please him and decide to make the first step.

There are situations where it is less obvious. It is therefore understandable that you cannot know every time before trying if this woman who caught your eye would want you to try an approach. Don’t hesitate to make this first step, but only if you are prepared to accept a ‘no’ as well as a ‘yes’.

Your target will quickly let you know if she is interested. Verbal language and body language do not deceive. A no is a no. It is not a ‘yes maybe, insist to see’. A yes, followed by a no some time later, is a no.

Often the person makes this clear, more or less directly, more or less delicately. Don’t take this kindness as a yes. It is always a no, but instead of answering you: “I’m not interested in you”, she will find a formula. Why? To avoid showing off in front of your friends, because she doesn’t dare, because she’s afraid of your reaction.

Listen to gestures and posture. A woman who sits straight in front of you and plunges her eyes in yours to continue the conversation, it is a good sign. A woman who turns around so you stop talking to her is a no. And insisting is harassment, not flirting.

For those who have difficulty with the notion of consent, we strongly recommend you to watch the video entitled Tea consent.

2. When and where to hit on a woman?

Now that you have the basics down, you are ready for that first step.

First of all, location matters. A woman is not willing to be hit on everywhere, especially in uncomfortable situations. The workplace, for example, is prohibitive for some. So is the gym or the pool.

Speaking of aquatic, Lena has an even wilder place in mind: “On a surfboard. I spent the first day in a flesh suit that was as sexy and comfortable as a foam condom, with my legs in an X shape and my arms crossed on my board, in the middle of 15-year-olds who were more talented than me.”

You will have understood, for her, it was not really the moment: “That did not cool the ardor of the instructor, who proposed me to go to drink, just as I went back to the surface with the grace of a drunk seal”. It was a rather dry no.

Some places are better. Airport lounges, trains, planes, coffee shops, nightclubs, parks in the spring are some of them. These are just suggestions of course.

For the rest, it’s mostly a matter of observation. It will help you to know when to approach her. Are you trying to approach your colleague? Observe his habits and his rhythm.

Hervé, for example, didn’t manage too much on timing with Anne-Sophie. “I’m not a morning person. Before 11 o’clock, I’m in a Doberman mood after a training session,” she confesses. You just have to know that, and respect my social jet lag. Unfortunately, my neighbor Hervé didn’t know that. And he came on to me one day at 7:50 a.m., when I was late for work. Hey, this is not the time at all,’ I barked over my shoulder. Fortunately, he wasn’t touchy, and he tried again one night… where I was much more receptive.”

On the street, for example, if the person is walking in a hurry, it’s not really the time. In the evening, if they’re ready to go, too bad, you’ve missed your chance.

3. Adapting to the one you like, the best dating technique

The observation is also valid to determine the profile of your target. The flirting technique should be adapted accordingly.

I don’t like to be hit on in public, it’s very embarrassing,” explains Magali for example. When a man approaches me in a public place, like in a café or in the subway, I immediately feel that everyone is watching us and making predictions about what to do next: I feel like I’m at the racetrack in Vincennes, track side, it takes away my means and my judgment. I prefer to be approached by a man when I am alone, reading, or during my lunch break.

Discreet, outgoing, romantic: be subtle according to his temperament.

Finally, you’ll need to keep perspective on the situation. This means, among other things, not insisting when it doesn’t work out.

“He was handsome, apparently brilliant, since he had a position of high responsibility in the architectural firm where I was doing a replacement, very nice… when he stopped talking about himself!” remembers Chloe.

Only, it was impossible to go further for her: “Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to make sure because he was in a loop on one subject: himself. With its variations: his hobbies, his job, his passion for motorcycles, his friends, his travels… To cool him down, I managed to slip in that I had a boyfriend. A lie on the first date, of course, but as we were not going to get married…”

Women do not ask men to have a list of topics prepared. He can approach without a catchphrase in mind, his awkwardness will even be perceived as cute. Only sometimes we like it for two minutes, then we realize that it will not stick. Because there are big awkward silences between you, because she realized that you have no common ground.

We agree, making yourself interesting is not easy. In real life, but also during the first messages on dating apps. Give some information about yourself, but also ask questions about her. After a while, open the conversation to other topics that are important to you. And listen to your instincts: can you feel this connection between you? No ? After a while, move on. Yes ? Tell us about the beautiful story that is starting. And you’re ready to go!

Can Lose Weight Without Exercise ? You are not satisfied with your figure and you would like to get rid of a few extra pounds? But you don’t have the time or even the motivation to follow a regular sports program? You are far from being the only one! More and more people are trying to lose weight without doing sports. And it is possible thanks to our 7 tips to lose weight without sport.

1.Prepare yourself mentally

To “lose weight without exercice”, you must first prepare yourself mentally for the essential steps to take. It is impossible to lose weight without changing your eating habits. If you don’t feel able to change your habits right now, take the time you need to prepare yourself.

The best way to prepare yourself mentally to transform your body is to communicate with others. Explain your goal to your partner, friends or anyone else you trust. Ask for their support. With the support of those around you, it is easier to succeed in losing weight without exercising.

2. Creating a caloric deficit

At first glance, creating a caloric deficit may not seem simple, but it’s actually not that complicated thanks to a sensible diet. Reducing your calorie intake does not mean eating less.

It’s about finding the right diet. A balanced combination of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats and an optimal water intake is the ideal basis for becoming slim without doing sports.

The best way to lose weight without strict dieting and exercise is to eat less carbohydrates (15%), but more protein (50%) and healthy fats (35%).

Within the body, carbohydrates are the primary suppliers of energy. In a typical diet, carbohydrates are responsible for half of the calories consumed. If carbohydrate intake is reduced, as it is in a low-carb diet, without being replaced by protein- or fat-rich foods, the body consumes its fat stores. This is one of the keys to losing weight without doing sports. It is not a matter of eating less, but rather of choosing the right foods to put on your plate.

3. Eat fat-burning foods

There are various food substances that are more or less well assimilated and transformed by the body. This means that some foods are quickly assimilated by the body and thus generate little calorie storage. These are, for example, proteins and water-rich foods.

Other foods are completely assimilated and the energy load remains in the body – what is not used is transformed into fat stores. Fats and carbohydrates, for example, are quickly converted into energy. Certain foods increase the metabolism and ensure that food is consumed quickly and in its entirety to be distributed throughout the body. They promote weight loss without dieting or exercise. These foods can be from any food group: fruits, vegetables, spices and more.

We have compiled a detailed list of the best foods for weight loss. Use it to create a healthy, balanced meal plan to lose weight quickly without working out.

• Eggs: protein intake helps maintain muscle mass. A stronger muscle mass allows the body to burn fat more easily. The myth that you can only eat one egg a week has long been disproved. Dieticians now say that eating one egg a day is safe.
• Garlic: freshly grated or cut, it helps digestion, unlike roasted or cooked garlic. If possible, it’s best to use unprocessed garlic. You can also opt for garlic extract tablets and capsules.
• Fruit: it can make you feel full quickly, even when eaten in small quantities. Fruit is rich in vitamins and water. Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are particularly recommended for a healthy diet. They stimulate fat burning and are an excellent alternative to snacks when you are hungry. Fruit can also be eaten as a fruit salad for dessert. For a balanced breakfast, add low-carbohydrate foods such as nuts to the fruit.
• Meat: white or red meat is a high quality source of protein. For red meat, be sure to choose lean meat, such as beef – the protein content is particularly important. In addition to protein, white meat such as poultry also contains high levels of carnitine. Carnitine contributes to muscle development. Pork roast with its rind, sausage or sausages are not suitable for a low carb diet. Sausage, even if it is specially prepared for dieters, almost always contains hidden fat.
• Fish: Make sure you eat fish at least once a week, whether you are on a diet or not. Fish contains, among other things, omega fatty acids. These are easily transformed by the body and help to improve cell structure and regulate digestion.

4. Adapting your diet to lose weight without exercice

It is generally not necessary to undertake a total change of diet. Most of the time, it is enough to simply find alternatives to the little sins that make us gain weight. Replace the chocolate cereal bar in the morning with an apple and a piece of dark chocolate and you’ve already reduced your calorie intake.

Spicy foods are also real fat burners. There are a lot of spices that effectively stimulate the metabolism. Cayenne pepper, for example, is an excellent stimulant. Often, we also tend to eat less when the dish is very spicy, which therefore reduces our calorie intake.

If you want to speed up the burning of fat in your body, all you have to do is select the right foods. Make sure you always eat a healthy and balanced breakfast. If you start your day with enough calories, you will avoid the hunger pangs that cause you to snack on unhealthy snacks.

If you are feeling a little hungry, choose fruit with honey and some nuts instead. It’s important to keep your caloric intake in line with your personal needs. If you sit at your desk all day, you may need fewer calories than a shopkeeper who stands all day.

5. Losing weight with slimming supplements

Diet shakes are also a good way to lose weight without working out. You can find some examples in our comparison of the best meal replacements. Weight loss shakes are a good and partial meal replacement: they give you all the energy you need to have a good day and are suitable for anyone with a hectic schedule.

The slimming tablets can also help to lose weight quickly without doing any exercise

Many tablets and capsules currently available on the market can help you lose weight. You can lose weight quickly without doing sports thanks to appetite suppressant tablets for example. They are generally made of plant extracts and cut short the irrepressible cravings for unhealthy snacks. Carb blockers capture the carbohydrates assimilated through food and eliminate those that have not been digested. Appetite suppressants can also contribute to weight loss. These are composed of natural substances that make you feel full sooner.

Choosing the right drinks to lose weight without exercise

Spicy food or a reduction in carbohydrate intake will certainly help you lose weight, but if you want to accelerate fat burning, regular and abundant hydration is necessary. First of all, choose cool drinks. The body spends significantly more energy processing cool liquids.

Cold unsweetened water or decaffeinated tea are particularly recommended. Fruit juices, on the other hand, contain a lot of calories, which is obviously also true for sweetened drinks. Also try to avoid alcohol. If you can’t avoid it, just have a glass of wine or beer but avoid mixed drinks and cocktails.

Vegetable juices are great drinks. They provide an excellent feeling of satiety quickly and one glass can be effective for several hours. A glass of vegetable juice has about 100 fewer calories than a full meal.

Semi-skimmed milk can also contribute to a balanced diet. It contains calcium, protein and little fat. As an alternative to milk, you can use coconut milk, which is also rich in energy without being caloric. The same goes for coconut water. For cooking and baking, you can use coconut flour which does not have as many carbohydrates as wheat flour.

6. Burn fat on a daily basis

If you want to lose weight without working out, there are a few simple things you can do on a daily basis that will help you burn calories. Today’s generations are becoming more and more sedentary. We spend the day at the office and the evening on the couch. We take the car for even the shortest of trips. Simple changes in your habits allow you to be more active on a daily basis: take the stairs instead of the elevator, go for a walk during your lunch break, use the bicycle instead of the car.

Household chores can also make a difference and help you burn calories (values given for 30 minutes):

• Ironing: approx. 80 kcal
• Vacuuming: approx. 120 kcal
• Cleaning the windows: approx. 100 kcal
• Washing dishes: approx. 60 kcal

But first of all, try to be more active during your working day. Once an hour, walk around your desk or do some stretching in your chair. These exercises not only give you new energy but also do your back and neck a world of good.

7. Reducing stress

Stress and overweight are linked. A stress study conducted by Techniker Krankenkasse (a German health insurance company) highlights this conclusion in 2016: 23% of Germans feel “frequently” stressed and 38% feel “sometimes” stressed. In other words: about 60% of the German society is more or less stressed. These figures are consistent with those for obesity: according to the 13th report on nutrition by the German Nutrition Agency”, 74.2% of men are overweight at the end of their working lives, compared to 56.3% of women.

Of course, we cannot deduce a cause and effect relationship from these statistics. However, medicine has observed that stress leads to the production of cortisol, the stress hormone. Cortisol also has the function of waking us up in the morning. In dangerous situations, it produces rapidly available energy from the body’s own reserves, which allows us to act quickly. In such situations, other functions such as digestion take a back seat.

Today, cortisol has largely lost its primary mission: we no longer resolve stressful situations by physical reactions. Thus we do not immediately consume cortisol and especially the energy that comes from it. The released glucose remains in the bloodstream and the body reacts by secreting insulin. This in turn causes the storage of fat and prevents the body from consuming this fat.

Stress causes another problem: we don’t take the time to eat or we eat too much, too fast and often unhealthy foods, too fatty or too sweet (you will find more information on this subject in our article on sugar-free eating). These calorie bombs are particularly fatal in times of stress, because our metabolism thinks it needs a lot of energy quickly. This is an illusion and we store all this energy as fat.

Getting rid of stress not only helps your body prepare for the diet, but also helps your mind stick to the diet program.

As if by a miracle, the beautiful days have finally decided to show their skin! While our beautiful country has switched to summer temperatures, your skin has remained in winter weather: it lacks collagen, firmness, and tends to dehydrate. But don’t panic! Skin that lacks elasticity is not a fatality: discover our 10 key tips to firm and tone your skin.
When your skin lacks elasticity, and you feel that your body is less toned, that it is flabby, then we talk about loosening of the muscle mass. This very frequent symptom can be due to successive weight changes that your skin has difficulty assimilating, or simply to a poor lifestyle. On your body, this translates into the sudden appearance of love handles, as well as less firm buttocks and stomach.

However, a few simple rules are recommended to quickly regain a toned skin, whether in your diet or in your cosmetic care.

Indeed, the benefits of marine cosmetics will be your best allies to firm up your skin: seawater is rich in nutrients and allows your body to eliminate toxins; as for seaweed and mineral salts, they naturally tone up the skin.

Follow our 10 tips to get a toned skin, and be ready for the summer days!

Adapt your beauty routine for a firmer, more toned skin

1 A scrub to renew your skin

This is the first treatment to recommend when you want to firm up your body: exfoliating once or twice a week eliminates dead cells and cleanses your skin thoroughly. After application, it will be soft and ready to receive an intensive firming treatment.

2 Rejuvenate your figure with a toning cream

After exfoliation, applying a toning cream will leave your skin hydrated and visibly firmer. Choose one with a tightening effect for immediate results.

3: Choose a targeted treatment

By choosing a targeted treatment, you won’t give your skin a break! Choose a night cream, which will act intensively on your skin, when it is most receptive to care. When applying it, don’t hesitate to massage yourself or to adopt the palpate-roll method to tighten the skin and fight against skin slackening.

4 Protect yourself from the sun

Even if the sun is necessary for your body because of its vitamin D synthesizing properties, it is not recommended to abuse it. Indeed, prolonged exposure will dry out the skin and destroy its natural production of collagen. And who says imminent lack of collagen, says skin in loss of firmness.

For a visibly toned skin, choose the right gestures every day

1 Adopt a balanced diet

If there are foods that burn fat, there are also foods that strengthen muscles. In fact, when you are subject to muscle slackening, it is because your body is not well balanced and your diet is not balanced enough. By choosing to strengthen your diet, you will also strengthen your muscle tone. To do this, choose good sources of protein, such as eggs, lean meats and fatty fish such as salmon. Apples are also an excellent source of protein, as they are enriched with ursolic acid, the only component that destroys fat while increasing muscle tone.

2 Focus on antioxidants

The most powerful antioxidants are found in berries and their caloric impact is one of the lowest. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, thus limiting skin aging. They are also perfect for maintaining your skin’s natural collagen.

Think also of foods rich in Vitamin C, such as oranges or lemons, which will restore firmness to your skin and help you keep a flat stomach: consume them for example in the form of fruit water (cut the lemon, taking care to keep its zest, and add the cut fruit to cold or hot water as you like. Drink it on an empty stomach in the morning to boost your fat-burning metabolism, get rid of saddlebags and firm up your abdominal muscles).

3 Beware of water retention

Beware of the water retention that can be caused by eating too much food: even if indulging yourself from time to time is essential, you should know that food with a high salt and sugar content favors the irremediable loss of tone.

However, there are foods that help eliminate the water that stagnates in the body: think for example of grapes, rich in potassium, which has draining virtues. It also improves your transit, thanks to the fiber it contains.

And to stay in the summer period, you can also consider pineapple, which in addition to firming the skin by making it deflate, also promotes the elimination of cellulite.

4 Take a nice cold shower

Also known as the Scottish shower, it consists of alternating jets of cold water and hot water in the shower, especially on areas that need toning: arms, thighs, stomach. This technique promotes good blood circulation and tones the tissues of your epidermis for the day… Ideal for a quick firming up! And what could be better than a little fresh air in the morning?

5 Exercise to build muscle

If eating well helps eliminate toxins, sport, above all, helps firm up your skin and ensure that your efforts are sustained over the long term. While not all sports are equal in terms of tone, it is not necessary to have the level of an Olympic competitor… Choose dance, gym or swimming, which will mobilize your lower body muscles more.

Don’t hesitate to opt for exercises to build up your abs and buttocks: a little cardio, crunches, lunges, or even the elliptical bike will help you quickly get a flat stomach and burn excess fat.

You can also opt for weight training exercises to be done at home: sheathing, Crossfit or simply doing squats allow you to work out easily without having professional equipment nearby. Invest in elastics, small dumbbells or a skipping rope and you’re done!

But beware of aches and pains: remember to warm up before any physical effort.

6 Stay hydrated

We can’t stress this enough, but drinking plenty of water throughout the day contributes to the health of your skin, and especially your muscles, which are made up of 65 to 75% of water. Remember to always have a bottle of water in your bag, especially when the thermometer starts to rise.

You are now ready to sculpt your summer figure!

People with beautiful skin have made a habit of washing their face with a gentle cleanser

“I recommend using a gentle facial cleanser in the morning to remove oils that have built up overnight and to cleanse your skin of any products you may have put on overnight,” says Christine Choi Kim, a cosmetic physician and dermatologist in California. Start the day with a clean face.

Another beauty habit for beautiful skin: protect your skin from the environment

Apply an antioxidant to delay cellular damage caused by both environmental pollutants and ultraviolet rays, suggests Dr. Kim. Antioxidants commonly found in skin care products include vitamin C and E, phloretin, feluric acid, and plant-derived substances such as resveratrol, green tea and coffee beans.

Sunscreen with SPF over 30

Wait a few minutes for the antioxidant to penetrate your skin, then apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Dr. Kim recommends SPF 30 or higher because when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) measures the effectiveness of SPF, it does so with 28 grams (1 ounce) of lotion, but most people don’t use that much. So if you apply SPF 30 like most people do, you’re probably getting the same protection as SPF 15. If your blemish balm (BB Cream) or base contains sunscreen lotion, choose it with an SPF of at least 30. Or apply your makeup as usual a few minutes after coating your skin with a separate sunscreen lotion.

Cover your hands, neck and chest

Don’t forget to apply an antioxidant and sunscreen lotion to your neck, upper chest and the backs of your hands, which are exposed to the ravages of UV rays when you drive. There are areas that people often forget to protect,” adds Dr. Kim, “even though they’re just as exposed to the elements as your face – and they’ll show signs of aging from the sun even if your face is sunless.

For beautiful skin, avoid touching your pimples

If you find an ugly red pimple when you wake up in the morning, don’t try to pop it – you’ll only inflame it and make it swell more, warns Dr. Kim. Better to put an ice cube on the intruder to reduce inflammation, then apply an over-the-counter acne medication that contains salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or sulfur to dry it out. Some products even contain a concealer, so you can treat and conceal at the same time.

A healthy glow from whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals

What your skin needs most to glow is a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, especially berries and leafy greens. Whether you’re eating oatmeal, cereal, yogurt or a smoothie, add berries – plus a vitamin C cocktail – to make your skin glow.

Your skin will also look better if you cut back on alcohol, sugar and processed foods, Dr. Kim advises. If you’re gluten-sensitive or lactose-intolerant and eliminate these products from your diet, your skin will look healthier and you may experience fewer breakouts.

For beautiful skin, make a habit of moisturizing

When you’re dehydrated, your skin can look dry and dull and make you look tired. Skin loves moisture, which is why drinking is so important to prevent dryness. Drink a glass of water before your morning coffee, and plan on having one or two more 250 ml (1 cup) glasses with your lunch.

7 Bad Habits That Harm Your Skin!

Our face is precious and fragile. To avoid seeing spots, wrinkles appearing too quickly or imperfections… It is better to take care of it. Here are 7 mistakes to banish from your beauty routine. Read the guide!

Mistake 1: not removing your makeup before bed

After a long day at work, or a drunken night out, all you can think about is…. Take refuge under the comforter. So much for the makeup removal step, mistake!

In fact, it’s very important to take time to remove your makeup. Otherwise, the pores of the epidermis are clogged, which actually accelerates skin aging. Before going to bed, it is therefore essential to use a milk, micellar water or gel to remove traces of makeup, pollution residue and excess sebum. Are you really lazy? Use a makeup remover wipe. That’s it!

Mistake 2: Overusing scrubbing products

Mechanical scrubs (with exfoliating grains) are often very abrasive. While they are very effective in removing dead skin from the surface of the epidermis, they should not be used too frequently, especially by sensitive skin. As for chemical scrubs, their formula can be very active, especially when they are not designed for daily use.

The right thing to do: as a general rule, limit the use of mechanical scrubs, which are too abrasive for the face. Instead, opt for a chemical exfoliant whose use you can adjust according to your skin and the formula (daily or not).

Mistake 3: Putting your phone against your cheek

Packed with all kinds of bacteria, the screen of your smartphone will transfer them to your skin, whose functioning could be disrupted, creating inflammations (pimples, blackheads, mouth ulcers…).

The right thing to do: use a hands-free kit or the speakerphone of your phone as often as possible. In the same spirit, avoid touching your face without washing your hands first. At night, rid your skin of the bacteria and impurities that have settled on it during the day. To do this, use a good cleanser, capable of capturing the dirt, then clean up once rinsed, such as micellar water or a cleansing milk… Also good, the ritual of the double-cleansing, associating the stages of the oil make-up remover and the foaming cleanser.

Mistake 4: Changing your face care too often

Unless you notice an undesirable skin reaction immediately after applying a new cream, there is no reason to change your skin care product before a reasonable time. In fact, by changing too often, not only will you surely not see any effect on your skin, but you also risk making the skin care products less effective, as skin renewal can no longer take place in an optimal manner. Finally, if you use too many different products on your skin in a short period of time, you run the risk of sensitizing it and, as it can no longer tolerate anything, it may develop an allergy.

The right thing to do: test your face care products for at least 3 to 4 weeks, i.e. the time it takes for a cell renewal cycle, or the equivalent of using a medium-sized jar of cream.

Mistake 5: Applying too much material to the skin at once

When too much cream is applied to the skin at once, the skin has trouble absorbing it all and enjoying the benefits of each treatment because of the masking effect of the previously applied layers.

The right thing to do: adopt a minimalist routine and for each treatment, take a reasonable amount of material (some well thought-out packaging delivers the right amount in one click). Applying twice as much, just because you missed an evening, won’t change anything. If your skincare product is fluffy when applied, it is often a sign that there are too many materials on the skin or that the products applied are incompatible.

Mistake 6: Using the same face and body care products

Except in SOS version, where they can help, body care products should not be used on the face. The needs are not the same and the characteristics of the skin are different. So forget the soap or shower gel to clean your face and the 2-in-1 body cream to moisturize your body and face. Especially since multi-purpose products promise several actions but in the end do nothing properly.

The right thing to do: opt for simple skin care products, at a low price if your budget is tight, but which are really dedicated to the area you want to take care of. The golden rule: one treatment = one action. A basic cleanser, a serum and a moisturizing cream and clay as a weekly mask can do the trick.

Mistake 7: Using dirty beauty accessories

You wouldn’t think of eating off the same plate night after night without washing it? So why would you think it makes sense to take care of your skin or apply makeup with dirty hands or accessories that are not regularly cleaned and on which layers of impurities, bacteria and cream accumulate?

The right thing to do: gloves, disposable cotton pads, make-up sponges, brushes, tweezers… Clean your beauty accessories as regularly as possible. If ideally, you should wash your tools after each use as the pros do, our daily life does not always allow it. Let’s stay soft: a good cleaning once a week will already be great.

Summertime requires special treatment of the skin – just as we must take special care of our hair in the summer.

The time we spend outdoors is obviously an important factor on skin health due to the effects of the sun and its rays on the skin.

But there are also our outdoor activities that influence skin health and facial care in the summer.

Here, we are thinking of activities at the pool and the various products needed to maintain it, but we should also not neglect the effects of perspiration on the pores of the skin – for the more active and fervent of physical activities.

Whether your lifestyle is the most active or you’re more of a sipping your favorite drink by the water, here’s the best 8-step routine to use to care for your skin in summer.

Step 1 – Use a pre-cleaner

Everyone’s skin needs vary and everyone needs what we call a pre-cleanser.

I would recommend the perfect makeup remover for all clients, with its oil-free eye formula it will quickly become a staple in your routine.

This one will thoroughly remove all traces of makeup, it also removes waterproof mascara and is suitable for all skin types.

Step 2 – Cleanse with a surface cleanser

It is the common cleanser that many know as gel, cleansing milk, foaming gel, etc..

To take care of your face in the summer, it is essential to have one because it is this one that will dislodge the first layer of dirt where we find sebum, pollutant deposits and others.

It is the same as the hairstyle: we will make a first foam to remove the pollutants then a second one for its benefits.

There is a wide range of choices with the Bioéléments line, for example: the positive hydration cleansing milk (dry to very dry skin), the enzymatic instant foaming cleanser (combination, oily, comedogenic, acne-prone).

Of course, there are many other options that can be recommended to you during your consultation with your esthetician.

Step 3 – Apply the toner

The toner is essential in a routine because it will moisten the skin cells to allow the exfoliant and all the other products to penetrate well and bring a maximum of benefits.

Important: Do not neglect the neck when spraying the toner.

With BioElements, you have two choices: Balancing and Power Peptide.

Step 4 – Exfoliate the skin

To take care of your face in the summer, the application of an exfoliant is certainly the most important step in a routine even if it does not necessarily require daily use.

This step allows to remove the dead cells that clog the ostias to finally allow the sebum to flow normally and to avoid blackheads and others.

It will also make the skin smoother and give a better complexion because the exfoliant stimulates the microcirculation in the skin.

The BioElements brand has a great line of exfoliants that are all suitable for different skin types and needs.

Step 5 – Apply toner (again)

This is a step that will greatly improve your results.

So, be sure to re-spray a small amount on your face and neck.

Step 6 – Make a mask

The mask will be a solution for many problems because it often contains a panoply of active ingredients that will act for 20 minutes.

This moment of relaxation is essential to take care of yourself because it will not only be beneficial for your skin, but also for yourself.

It can be done at least twice a week for a minimum of 10 minutes to be sure that it acts well and efficiently.

Step 7 – Apply the serum

The serum is the most concentrated product in active ingredients that you can apply on the face, so when it comes to choosing a serum, it is normal to wonder which one to choose…

So we have to target a problem that is more important than the others (the one that bothers us the most) and we choose.

In the end, we often apply it more in the evening to let it work all night long and it is also possible to have more than one serum in our routine.

This one will contain active ingredients that will either help diminish the appearance of wrinkles or brighten the complexion and even more.

Step 8 – Finish with a moisturizer

The cream is very important in a routine because it’s kind of the finishing layer of the routine – it ends the routine beautifully.

It’s called the “protection cream” and it’s not for nothing.

In fact, it will form a protective barrier on the surface to provide water, oil and other important actives.

I strongly encourage you to take a look and try several to find what you are looking for in a cream: whether it is the texture, the smell, the effect on the skin, the level of hydration it provides, etc.

Bonus step – What to do if you go to the sun?

It is PRIMORITY to wear a sunscreen with an fps of at least 30 every day of the year.

This is because sun aging is the most important form of skin aging and affects the majority of people.

The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends an fps of 30.

It is therefore very important to apply a layer and reapply every two hours if you want to get maximum protection for your skin.

Mirror and refuge at the same time, the house reveals and protects us. It tells our personality, our history and our secret dreams. It arouses in us contradictory feelings, often passionate, because it is a place of sharing, love and family, but also of conflicts. Our home therefore has a lot to teach us about the way we “live” or not our life.

What things should a man have in his apartment? When you think of a man who wants to be mature, responsible and attentive to detail, his space should definitely reflect that through a beautiful interior that manages to show some personality and is optimal in all aspects of life. However, not all men manage to do this and some have spaces that look empty and are not great for receiving visitors who will leave with a good impression.

On this occasion, we have compiled the opinion of several women who have told us the things they have noticed in some men that they consider essential to at least have a comfortable time. Some are very obvious, but many men often fail. Take note:

First Of All, Your Home Expresses Yourself

Today more than ever, the individual king seems to be very attached to the expressive dimension of the home. Walk into someone’s home, and you’ll know more about them than you would after hours of discussion: the colors they like, the objects they choose to display, the care or neglect with which they treat their home… All clues to a personal journey. When I was a teenager, I wanted every visitor entering my room to understand who I was,” confides this thirty-year-old. So, everything was there: the poster of my favorite singer, the pictures of my girlfriends… “.

If our house serves to reveal us to the other, it can also teach us a lot about our inner evolution. Sometimes, it is enough for us to become aware of the way we arrange our space. Thus, the example of Joseph, 42 years old. In conflict with his mother, he had refused to see her for years. One morning, without really knowing why, he felt like exhibiting some Yugoslavian statuettes that his maternal grandmother had left him. He found a prominent place for them on the ledge of the fireplace in his living room. “Two days later, I called my mother in Croatia. I still don’t know if it was my desire to forgive that led me to dig out those statues or if they led me to reconcile with her.

This collusion between our innermost being and the way we arrange our space appeared already in the writings of Artemidorus of Daldis, a Greek philosopher of the 2nd century BC. Long before psychoanalysis, he affirmed that any house appearing in a dream was an image of the self.

1. More than one towel

“Or that there are usually products in the bathroom,” says one of the testimonials, and he’s right. An empty bathroom is not an option. You need your toiletries, towels, soap for your hands and more than just shower gel and shampoo. With two towels, you’ll be covered as long as you don’t use them while the other one is in the laundry. Other women say an extra toothbrush isn’t a bad idea.

2. A good mattress

“…with a decent sheet, blankets, and a comforter,” said another testimony. Not an unreasonable request, although some stressed that the mattress should be large. Not necessarily a king size, but as long as it’s not a single, you’ll be fine. Remember, you have to say goodbye to old mattresses at some point. For the comforter and the sheets, nothing complicated. Just make sure they are not old and have no stains or holes…

3. A kitchen that is not empty

“It’s horrible to see that they have nothing…” It even sounds cliché, but we’re sure that some men are just not very close to their kitchen. So it’s usually a deserted area with only a few items in the fridge and a few condiments. Unless you don’t have the time, you can spend a few days cooking and at least know a little more about what you need. Develop your cooking skills and you’ll score extra points.

4. A good chair

“Nothing in black ‘faux leather’ or the parents’ heirloom chair…” The heirloom sofa can still be an option as long as it’s not too old or has one of those decades-old outdated designs. It’s best to choose one that matches your personality and has style.

5. Matching glasses and wine glasses

“Along with the wine, of course.” While wine can be an item on this list, we focus first on glasses that don’t look like they come out of different boxes and don’t feel like they serve all drinks combined. On the other hand, wine can give you extra points, knowing that serving it in the right glasses can be the finishing touch.

6. Plants

Many of the testimonials we have compiled mention plants as one of the essential things a man should have in his house or apartment. If you are not a plant lover or you don’t think you can take care of them, you can opt for some that don’t need too much care. They give a better look to your interior and it is better to have a few to fill the space.

7. A bookcase with good books

Although we don’t think this is an opinion shared by all, some women have told us that an apartment with a bookcase is essential but it should have not only encyclopedias that don’t gather dust but also good books. This may have to do with the fact that through someone’s reading you can get to know them a little, without forgetting the intellectual factor. Furnishing a wall never hurts.

8. A coffee machine

We also have to say that we didn’t think all women are coffee lovers, or purist enough to want a coffee machine but having a nice one in one place can make you look a little more sophisticated than if you were drinking instant coffee. We wouldn’t put this on the must-have list but it’s something to consider. Some women tell us that kitchen utensils are also important.

hat do women look for in men? This question will never have a good answer. Each person has his own world full of circumstances that will make him look for one thing or another. Are there any general traits that make a man more attractive to a woman? There is only one way to find out: interview a lot of women and draw conclusions from this field study. That’s what bestlifeonline and the Opinion Reseach Corporation of New Jersey did when they were commissioned to develop a study that looks at what makes a man attractive. Specifically, what aspects of your personality, your physique, your character and what skills you need to be attractive.

In the study, more than 1,000 women between the ages of 21 and 54 were asked this question. And the first surprise is that physical attractiveness is not above other characteristics, but rather a kind of extra. Only 13% of the women surveyed mentioned muscles as an attractive factor. However, 66% say they like a man to have moral integrity. But what do women want? It seems that they are looking for a confident, funny and stylish man. To check if you are the perfect man and your love failures are just a random possibility, here are the 20 most sought-after qualities:

Traits of a seductive man

That he is faithful, trustworthy, kind, upright, with a moral sense and endowed with a paternal instinct.

Personality traits of an attractive man

Sense of humor, intelligent, passionate, self-confident, generous.

Practical skills of an attractive man

Who is a good listener, romantic, good in bed, good at cooking, good at cleaning, and has good financial potential.

Physical attributes of an attractive man

A sense of style, beauty, good height, muscle, physical condition.

Meeting these 20 requirements makes you the most attractive man on the planet. But don’t get obsessed, meeting them all is almost impossible. What you can do is adopt the philosophy behind many of them: self-confidence that allows you to control the energies and channel them appropriately into understanding, empathy and a sense of humor, while bringing calm to deal with the setbacks that life throws at us. It’s clear, right? Attractive men are aware of their limitations and strengths and above all they never lose their cool or are aggressive. They always seem to know what to do in any situation.

What makes a man physically attractive

The work commissioned by bestlifeonline focuses on the psychosocial aspects of men. But what about the physical? To find out, we need to review other studies that have tried to shed light on this aspect, such as the one conducted by the Royal Society Open Science. In the work, they analyzed the evaluations of 800 women in the United States between 17 and 79 years old, who evaluated the body and face of dozens of computer-generated figures that are the result of mixing the physical characteristics of 9,000 men.

And the conclusion was surprising: what makes a man more attractive is his legs. The main conclusion was that most of them found particularly attractive men who had legs that were about half the length of their height. In addition, those with legs that were too long or too short would be particularly unattractive. The authors of the book make sure that this perception is based on an evolving system of judgment because people with undersized limbs are associated with health problems such as type II diabetes.

Here’s what women REALLY hate in men

We often talk about the qualities we look for in a guy. But rarely about what the vast majority of women find repulsive!

MISTER I’M TEACHING YOU ABOUT LIFE

You see the guy who starts to send you “I’ve really evolved, all you say is things I’ve experienced and from which I’ve returned”. Well, come back, we’re leaving!

MR. KNOW-IT-ALL

A derivative of the previous one: every time you speak, he rectifies! Date, place, time, you feel like you’re going through your high school again as soon as you open it. We are not here to feel humiliated!

MISTER I DECIDE NOTHING

So yes, we could have also mentioned Mr. I decide everything. But we decided and, the worst thing is to have a kid to drag everywhere by the hand. Not to mention that he sometimes has the luxury of sulking.

A GENTLEMAN WHO IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT

“Oh, it’s your birthday?” No but hell on earth! Especially when you’ve mentioned it a dozen times in a week… And the train tickets to Normandy? Forgotten too! Rrrr, do you guys know calendars?

SIR, HUH?

You’ve got a lot on your plate but fortunately, Loulou is here to listen to you tonight. Anyway. The little test of the unexpected question “What do you think?” turns out to be positive. He wasn’t listening to you! The best start to an argument we’ve ever found!

SIR YES OK, BUT TOMORROW

The picture to hang in the living room, it’s been hanging in your entrance for two months? Normal, you live with a guy of the type Why do today what you can do tomorrow, probable fan of Orelsan. Take heart.

MISTER I OWE YOU HOW MUCH

We know and hate cheapskates. But there are also guys who hurt you in the worst way: by insisting on paying you the exact price of the ice cream you gave him. It smells like a psychorigid guy who doesn’t want to owe you anything… In case he needs to pay you back one day!

It is important to know that 93% of our communication is non-verbal. It is therefore important to know exactly how to make our body language work for us in our relationships. In this article, I will give you 10 tips on how to feel better in your body and in your relationship with others. Very quickly, you will feel empowered, because your body will move and vibrate to its highest degree.

1. HAVING THE SMILE

Most people will go through their day without a smile. We live by the precept: metro, work, sleep and we lose our desire to live and to blossom. The people who will smile are those who have made the decision to spread light and positive vibes. This is a real strength, because we will look at this person and ask ourselves “What is their secret? Your smile is your calling card, because you will differentiate yourself from 99% of the people who have lost it. I suggest you try it for a week and you will see for yourself that the smile will change the way you approach your day.

2. KEEP THE SPACE OPEN IN FRONT OF YOUR CHEST

The idea is to be able to have enough space in front of your torso to make room for your movements and not block your breathing. It’s a bit like meditation where you have to breathe well and be aware of what’s going on in your stomach. When you have to talk to someone, you should take the time to take a deep breath and feel the oxygen flowing through your chest. This will help you to take a more “dominant” posture, as you will straighten up and take more space. On the other hand, people who do not do this and breathe poorly are the ones who will curl up and look like they are shrinking.

3. MAKING EYE CONTACT

When you look someone in the eye, you create a “connection” between you. If you do a simple test in the metro, you will realise that the person you are talking to will look at you and wonder about your intention. Similarly, when you are talking to someone, eye contact maintains a relationship based on closeness and importance. On the other hand, a person who avoids eye contact will be seen as shy and more fragile. Eye contact can really help you in the power of your body language.

4. MANAGING YOUR PERSONAL SPACE

We all have our own personal space. When someone comes close to you, at some point you feel that they are getting too close and that bothers you. This space is to be managed, because it determines your personal limit which you should not cross. This same space does not or cannot exist for our lover or our family. It is important to be able to manage this space well, because people are not aware of it and will tend to get too close to you. If you manage it well, you will be able to put a stop or step back so that the person respects this social barrier.

5. YOUR HANDS TALK

If you are anxious and constantly touch your hands to reassure yourself, the other person will see that you are not confident. If you look around you, you will see that hands have their own language. Between people who talk by moving their hands and others who tend to hide them, it’s a good indicator of your personality. From now on, when you speak, try to see what your hand language is. You can then change your hand language to feel more confident.

6. WATCH OUT FOR DISTRACTING MOVEMENTS

Your body language speaks for you, so distracting movements must be controlled. A confident person will not spend time touching their hands and hair for example. When you walk into a room and look down, it says a lot about your confidence. If you are the type of person who takes a long time to find your position on a chair, it also says something about your inner stress. Distracting movements are those that you may not realise but are part of the non-verbal language palette.

7. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PACE AND RATE OF SPEECH

It is always best to speak calmly and clearly to be understood. If you tend to speak too fast, you will not be understood properly. A confident person will put their words down and speak meaningful words to inspire confidence. If you speak too fast, you will not be heard by your audience. I advise you to pay attention to your pace and rate of speech in order to have more impact in your discussions.

8. YOUR MOVEMENTS SHOULD INCLUDE AND NOT EXCLUDE

When someone is talking to you and you cross your arms while listening: this is a form of exclusion, because you are in a closed position. If your face is closed, it’s the same, whereas a smile includes the person in the discussion. Our body speaks and will put itself in a position of exclusion without us really being aware of it. This is why we need to take a step back from our body language. The simple act of smiling and opening your arms in greeting can change the way others perceive you.

9. PRACTICE EMOTIONAL OPENNESS

If you can change your body language, but you can’t be open emotionally, it will be counterproductive. That’s why, when you’re on a date, you need to focus on the person without looking at your messages and notifications. When you are in a relationship with someone, you need to be able to be there 100% for that person.

10. ADAPT TO THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO

If you are in front of someone who is super dynamic, you need to be able to adapt to their pace. If you are in a recruitment interview, you should position yourself as a “mirror” to the person you are interviewing. This means that you will adapt to the other person’s body characteristics. By doing this, you will get in touch much more easily. We don’t realise it, but when we are in a relationship, we tend to adapt our body language to the other person.

Body language can be adapted according to the circumstances and the person we are talking to. We simply have to be careful how we position ourselves and respond to the messages in our environment. If you can follow the advice in this article, you will feel better in your body very quickly.
