Want to extend the feeling of deep relaxation created by a day at the beach? Prepare yourself for a moment of intense relaxation with this massage routine created by the PAYOT team.
Turn off your smartphone, sit back, make yourself an iced tea, and let's go!
1. We take care of our body.
Head to the shower to rid your skin of sand, sunscreen residue, and dust accumulated during the day. Gently exfoliate using broad, circular motions to stimulate microcirculation beneath the skin's surface. Rinse, pat dry, and then apply moisturizer with broad, light strokes .
The little extra: with the heat, we are more sensitive to water retention. To eliminate toxins and reduce excess water , opt for Slim Ultra Performance remodeling body oil. Massage the affected areas with palpate-roll movements from the outside to the inside.
2. We pamper his little feet.
The ultimate in relaxation, foot massage also allows you to apply nourishing treatments specially designed for your feet. Wearing sandals or flip-flops exposes their delicate skin to harsh elements: grains of sand, pebbles, dust, etc. For a truly soothing moment, apply a nourishing cream before gently pressing on the soles of your feet, moving from the heel to the toes. Make circular movements around your ankles, focusing on tension points to release pressure.
3. We focus on the face.
Rid of the impurities accumulated during the day, the face is waiting for one thing: hydration ! Practice a few PAYOT Beauty Gym movements. Our favorite gestures? At PAYOT, we love the butterfly , which consists of grasping the inner corner of your eyebrows between your fingers before sliding them outwards. We also love the owl , where you simply place your fingers on the brow bone and the top of the cheekbones and keep your eyes wide open, then close them and open them wide. With these small movements, you relax the eyelid muscles that the summer light makes frown. This limits the appearance of crow's feet and frown lines.
The little extra: if your skin has specific needs, now is the time to take advantage of them! Massage improves the effectiveness of the active ingredients, while stimulating micro-circulation which helps to reduce fine lines .
4. Before concluding with the scalp.
Soothing and relaxing, scalp massage will quickly become a staple in your post-beach routine. It's a great opportunity to nourish hair damaged by chlorine, heat, or seawater. Apply a nourishing oil from roots to ends, using small circular motions with your fingertips. Don't be afraid to apply light pressure. Just thinking about it already makes you feel relaxed, right?
The little extra: after the massage, wrap your hair in a hot towel to multiply the nourishing effect of the oil.
After this little relaxing ritual, all that's left is to dive into the latest summer novel. Unless you still have enough energy for a last drink on the terrace, watching the sunset?
