4 winter plans and 4 devices to accompany them

Winter envelops us, shrinks us, and traps us in the warmth and refuge of home. Since we spend more time indoors, we tend to have more time for self-care, that right we proudly claim and defend fiercely. But beware, being at home isn't synonymous with isolation and boredom: there are plans, even fantastic ones, to elevate pleasure and self-care to another level.

Beauty plans: Sonic pleasure:

Listen to " One Day You're Young" while using TriPollar Stop Vx2. The latest and most innovative from TriPollar, a skin firmness and tone finder that only requires 15 minutes. The duration of its episodes is slightly longer, but between removing the conductive gel and applying your traditional skincare routine , it fits perfectly into your schedule.

It's a podcast that a good portion of the SKINVITY team loves—women who already fall into the "medianers" category, which is what its two hosts call those of us between 35 and 55 years old. So what's the podcast about? It's a reflective journey, infused with humor and science, through the big themes of midlife. Here's its description.

“How do I get through a midlife crisis, retire rich, change jobs, make love last… or get a good divorce? How do I remember those damn passwords, get out of an endless renovation, or make better friends? Is it good to sleep in separate beds? Do I need to get a vasectomy? Is this all I’m going to achieve in life?”

They're short, refreshing sessions, perfect for a radiofrequency beauty routine . When you're finished, your skin is plump and firm, and you have a smile on your face. Some plans are just pure bliss.

Beauty plans: A wonderful half hour

Because in just 30 minutes with PressTech and this great plan, fantastic things can happen to you, such as getting rid of leg swelling, reducing cellulite, gaining lightness and relaxation (two words that combine wonderfully in any woman's life), and also giving a good push to that book you've had half-finished for a long time - something that happens to us more often than we'd like.

Some of us on the team have signed up for Goodreads reading challenges, because it's not always easy to find the time and it's good to stay motivated. And as a top book recommendation, "Your Body on Fire" (nothing to do with the Netflix series), by nutritionist Beatriz Larrea , an expert in nutrition and science communication, who clearly explains, with data and a wealth of wisdom, what happens to our bodies when we don't give them the nutrients they need. Everyone on the team follows and admires her.

It's an easy read but hard to put down; it's very engaging and pairs perfectly with Presstech: a healthy mind in a healthy body. 30 minutes of holistic self-care is in your plans, right?

Beauty plans: Exfoliation, yes I do.

When we think of our home as the best place in the world, certain scenes that resonate deeply with us come to mind. One of them is the moment of enjoying a glass of wine in the bath. Since we would never recommend a glass of wine (at least not in writing), we're going to recommend another one of those plans, specifically a healthy and nourishing one , and of course, with a beauty component.

The Glo 910+ is a round device that, in addition to being the best-rated anti-cellulite massager on the market, has other delightful attachments, such as the Body Brush , an exfoliating brush ideal for use before a bath (with or without a glass of wine) or a long, relaxing shower. The Body Brush removes all those dead skin cells that cling to our skin. Its bristles are fine and flexible, made of natural fibers, and apply gentle pressure to the body—nothing uncomfortable.

To finish off the preparation and make this one of those plans that become a long-standing habit because you enjoy it so much, here's a healthy smoothie, created by Beatriz Larrea, that can be prepared in 5 minutes: it's healthy, delicious and will make you tick the self-care diva checkmark.

Pomegranate smoothie (for two)

Ingredients:

Juice of a pomegranate

1 cup of unsweetened Greek yogurt

1 large handful of frozen strawberries and raspberries

1 serving of collagen (if you have it, if not, it's okay)

1 teaspoon of flax seeds

1 teaspoon of pumpkin seeds

Vanilla

Cashew or macadamia milk (it's also delicious with almond or walnut milk)

Add the blender with or without ice and enjoy while you admire your smooth and firm body.

Beauty plans: Let the party begin… LED

We love cosmetic technology that empowers us, which is why our own-brand devices are always born with that sense of freedom at their core. Our LED mask has four straps so you can multitask while using it, a power output of 30mW/cm² for shorter, more efficient treatments, and built-in eye protection so you don't need to keep your eyes closed.

With these elements, it goes without saying that routines with her are wonderful and, although you could do anything else, getting hooked on a miniseries adds points and you win instantly.

Our team has been totally hooked on We Are Lady Parts , a Filmin series that tells the story of a group of young Muslim women who form a feminist punk band in London. It's fresh, funny, and super entertaining. You completely forget about the mask until you notice the light going out. We recommend continuing for another 10 minutes with the other light spectrum and finishing with our Serum by SKINVITY.

Exploring the SKINVITY universe is another tempting option to complement your LED routine. Taking care of yourself and enjoying yourself at the same time—what more could we ask for?
