How to Get a Bikini Body to Rival Gisele’s

It goes without saying that one way to look and feel better in a bikini is to tone up – there’s a reason most Brazilian beaches are swarming with joggers and people doing push-ups. Busy lifestyles make it hard to regularly hit the gym or pound the pavement, but before you get the swimwear sweats (or beach preparation panic), decide to run for the hills, and burn your bikini, try these fabulous firming products to tone up in no time.

Move over skinny latte – this fierce fat fighter is our new caffeine fix. Targeting problem areas using encapsulated caffeine molecules beneath the skin, it energizes lethargic lipids to rid them from the body. This lymphatic draining works wonders on dimples, helping you get that dream derrière whilst firming and toning. Use twice a day for 20 to 30 seconds.

This revolutionary product tackles the main concerns most women have – slimness, firmness, hydration, tonicity, and evenness. Using a unique complex rich in sea extracts and coral grass, this contouring cream aids the natural synthesis of the adiponectin protein (responsible for regulating glucose levels and for fatty acid breakdown) and in just four weeks can increase firmness by 77 percent.

These dark-purple Amazonian berries were used by indigenous tribes to treat ailments and provide nutrition, as they’re crammed with antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, protein, and omega fatty acids. They’re now found in cosmetics around the world and in almost every smoothie being sipped by a Brazilian beauty.

Amazing anti-agers, Açai berries fight free radicals and inflammation thanks to the powerful antioxidant anthocyanin, which they contain more of than any other food, and they’re nearly 1000 times higher in antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. If that wasn’t enough, they also boost immunity, speed up the metabolism, and aid digestion. These berries may be small, but they boast some seriously big beauty benefits – and you too can reap their rewards without having to roam the rainforest.

Quench dry, thirsty skin with this beautifying butter made from Açai. Blended with Shea and coconut butters, carrot seed, fennel, and soybean and almond oils, it deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin whilst protecting it with antioxidants.

If you really want to set off your beach bod, then make a tan your top accessory – Latino ladies don’t go anywhere without one. Not only will it leave you glowing and golden à la Gisele, but it’s also the secret to looking slimmer on the sand. A tan helps conceals any lumps and bumps whilst creating a more flattering, slimming finish. You can also use a fake tan to contour your body, adding tone and definition.

This gradual tanner will bronze you up like a Brazilian with just one application. Its cleverformula won’t leave you streaky or smelling like biscuits (bonus) and absorbs instantly, so there’s no awkward waiting around in your underwear for it to dry. It also improves skin tonicity and smoothness, creating a streamlined effect. Apply to clean, exfoliated, moisturized skin and watch that sun-kissed glow develop in just a matter of hours.

Brazil in a box, this brilliant bronzer will leave you looking like you’ve just stepped off a jet from Copacabana. With no sparkle or shine, it’s a mattifying powder that gives you buildable, pure pigmented color without an orange overtone. Dust across the face and décolletage for an all-over tan, or sweep under cheekbones, along the jawline, and down your nose for Brazilian supermodel definition.

What makes a Brazilian beach body? The bottom, of course. Want to get a lifted and toned Brazilian derrière and rid of any junk in your trunk? Becky Hart, Lead Instructor at FlyBarre Dubai, has revealed her top bottom-busting move to help you achieve that.

On all fours, with your elbows under your shoulders and your knees under your hips, place a three-kilo weight behind your right knee and, keeping your knee and ankle flexed, lift your heel towards the ceiling, ensuring your back remains still. The movement is created from the gluteal muscles. Pulse the heel towards the ceiling until you feel your glute muscle struggling to continue. Do three sets and repeat on the left leg.

Toning is just the first step to a beautiful bottom; it’s time to say goodbye to cellulite and banish dreaded dimples for good. Cellulite is caused by fat deposits stuck under the skin’s surface, and it seems they’re quite comfortable where they are, as getting rid of them isn’t easy.
