These gentle sports that make you more beautiful

Who said exercise had to be torture? Whether you like to sweat or not, some so-called "gentle" sports (yes, I promise!) seem to offer a perfect compromise between beauty and well-being. So, quickly get it out of your head that you have to suffer martyrdom to be (even more) beautiful. 😉

Did you know, for example, that very intense physical effort causes large spikes in cortisol? Or that excessive sporting zeal increases free radicals and therefore, if the body is not properly equipped, oxidative stress – implicated in the premature aging of our cells?

Conversely, moderate physical activity would be better for our cognitive abilities, and no less beneficial for our body and our health in general.

So, we're taking advantage of the arrival of summer to get back into it... but gently and without forcing it, please!

The walk

It's the basics of the basics – and yet, walking is devilishly effective!

Good for the body and the mind, it tones the silhouette and helps eliminate toxins that dull the radiance of your complexion. It is also said to be effective in preventing varicose veins on the legs if you are prone to them, for example in the case of poor blood flow.

You're probably familiar with Nordic walking, but you might also consider walking in the forest. Why? Because it's said to have additional benefits for our cortisol and stress levels. This is the principle behind sylvotherapy.

To guide you step by step:

Aime's Matcha Glow Collagen: Before hitting the trails, make yourself a delicious matcha latte enriched with marine collagen and antioxidants (vitamin C, matcha tea).

Djusie's exfoliating body brush: take it out after your shower and after a walk to support your body's natural oxygenation and drainage processes.

La Canopée Tiger Oil: the ultimate massage oil for athletes! Its certified organic formula optimizes muscle recovery and soothes sore tendons.

Fitness

Emblematic of the 70s, the workout remains fashionable (we're taking this opportunity to point out that it's no longer mandatory to do your fitness session to the hit Toutouyoutou 😉).

The idea: Stay in shape by combining strength training, dance, HIIT, CrossFit, Pilates, aquagym, and cardio training. This activity is most often practiced in a gym, on dedicated machines, and you can adjust the intensity to your preferences. The key: a sculpted body, less cellulite, and an irresistible healthy glow after each session!

To support you during and after:

Ripple + Aromatic Inhaler: Choose the FOCUS version with green tea and apricot extracts (0% nicotine) to live fully in the moment and mobilize all your resources.

Aime hydration sticks: a cocktail of electrolytes in a sachet, with a touch of lime flavor to boot, to replenish your hydration in case you feel a bit tired during exercise.

Zen in the city body balm: a heating stick with 4 essential oils and arnica, to massage wherever you have pain (aches, joints, trapezius muscles, neck, etc.).

Bedroom sport

Yes, it's also a sport! Isn't it the gentlest of all sports? You'll probably be happy to know that a 25-minute round of somersaults burns about 69 calories for a woman. That's less than jogging, but more than walking at a pace of 4.8 km/h.

Even more surprising: the pleasure hormones released during sex are said to have the ability to cleanse your skin's pores and stem minor inflammatory phenomena. Not to mention the legendary "sex glow," which leaves our skin plumper and more luminous, subtly rosy...

To accompany you in your intimate games:

Sitre's Pleasure Booster Oil: Formulated with 1% CBD, it guides you to ecstasy with a 100% natural, fragrance-free formula with a tantalizing velvety feel.

The My Lubie game: 120 erotic cards to inspire you as a couple, vary your positions, and help you increase your desire and your heart rate.

Baûbo's vulvar balm (vulvar care): a game-changer to soothe all your vulvar discomfort post-sex, post-sport, post-friction, post-bike saddle or post-whatever-you-want.

Face yoga

Does giving your face a workout sound crazy? And yet, your face is home to around fifty skin muscles, the gradual sagging of which is responsible for a good portion of your signs of aging. By combining muscle strengthening, acupuncture, and energy circulation techniques, you can tone your muscles, smooth your features, and release the small tensions that deepen your expression lines. A complete fitness program for mature skin, but also for young skin that wants to take preventative action.

To support you in your session:

Odacité's rose quartz gua sha: a genuine semi-precious stone sculpted to stimulate the metabolic activity of cells and gradually lift the appearance of your skin.

The Djusie exfoliating facial brush: ideal for those who like more dynamic massages, it stimulates microcirculation for radiant, energized skin.

Odacité's terahertz-activated cryo-tech tool : both a gua sha and an acupuncture accessory, it concentrates the beauty benefits of cold for an invigorating and decongestant massage.
