Summer body treatment season is back
Words by KELLY ATTERTON
Summer’s here, and so is the panic at the idea of baring more skin. Fret not! Check out these tips and tricks to get your body summer ready.
Kick off the season with a simple spray tan that delivers a sun-kissed glow without the sun’s damaging rays. It’s a quick way to even skin tone, mask imperfections, and enhance muscle definition sans harmful UV exposure. Chocolate Sun at Kate Somerville is known for the most natural-looking tans, with exceptional contouring, customized for every skin tone. Exfoliating before your appointment is nonnegotiable if you want your tan to last longer and look as though you’ve already been on holiday.

Bolster your fitness results with electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) workout suits like Katalyst EMS, seen all over social media and backed by investors Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. These suits use electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, maximizing your workout efficiency while being easy on your joints. You can see visible results in as little as two 20-minute sessions per week, so it’s no wonder these suits are becoming a staple in fitness routines everywhere. Expect costs for equipment to decrease as their accessibility grows, making it easier and faster to attain peak fitness.
Don’t sleep on the transformative power of the Brazilian body-shaping massage. Its sculpting prowess has attracted celebrities and influencers alike. Employing deep, therapeutic methods, often using wooden tools, this technique reduces inflammation and sculpts the body via lymphatic drainage. It targets excess fluid, banishes bloat, trims inches off the waistline, and smooths the appearance of cellulite. You’ll emerge posttreatment feeling lighter and more contoured, but the next day you may be a bit sore. Check out the Beverly Hills Wellness Club’s viral Golden Package. This two-hour treatment includes Brazilian Bootycamp Body Sculpting Massage and Brazilian Lipo Wrap, topped with a Brazilian Face Sculpting Massage. It feels like heaven and delivers visible results in just one session.
