Body butter or body lotion?
The answer Something in between.
The reason Most body butters are
heavy and create an occlusive
(non-porous) barrier between your
skin and outside elements. While
sealing in moisture, they can cause
breakouts. Lotions are lighter, but
may not soothe really dry skin. Try
a semi-occlusive butter, such as cocoa
butter, which seals in moisture but
allows skin to breathe normally.Morning vs

The reason If you suffer from
autumnal allergies, such as
dust mites and mould, you
may want to rinse off in the
evening. Otherwise, during
the night you’ll breathe in
everything you’ve picked
up during the day,
waking up sniffling.Smart Swap
Instead of starting your press-up from a
plank position, start it from the floor. It will
ensure you’re doing the move correctly,
building endurance through your core.The verdict Chopsticks (if you’re
watching your weight!)
The reason OK, you might not be
the most efficient at eating with
two skinny bits of wood, but the
less skilled you are, the more likely
these ancient Asian utensils will be
your secret weight-loss weapon.
When you eat more slowly, you
give your brain time to register
when your stomach is full, helping
you eat less and reduce your
overall calorie intake. Simple.Forks vs chopsticks
Exercisers worked
out this much harder
when they sweated it
out with a competitive
pal. We often compare
ourselves to others
and assess whether
we’re doing better or
worse, which helps
give us that little push.
