Juliette Levy's tips for feeling good about your body

Discover the 5 tips, techniques and treatments that help Oh My Cream founder Juliette Levy feel good about her body.

Our selection for feeling good about your body

It's funny how the way we look at our bodies can change over the years. Here I am, aged 35, mother of two and much prouder of my body than I was 10 years ago. Sure, it's changed and evolved, but I've learned to live with it. In fact, my relationship with my body is much healthier, and I've developed a real desire to take care of it and pamper it, to simply feel good! It's true that the road to acceptance is a long one... And like everyone else, I've made mistakes, testing far too many things with "miracle" promises (hello diets of all kinds with no results), which have finally enabled me to come to the right conclusions.

As a result, for me, the "Summer Body" is not a frantic race to prepare our bodies for the start of summer, but rather a time to take stock of our self-care habits. And since many of our discussions at Oh My Cream are monopolized by this quest for well-being, I felt it was my duty to share my daily resolutions with you. These tips, techniques and treatments that accompany me throughout the year and help me feel good in my body.

1. The new nugget I've added to my beauty routine

As I've always had great difficulty drinking water regularly, and therefore inevitably had little problems withheavy legs and water retention, I was delighted to see the arrival on our shelves of the new supplement We want... Draining Elixir Atelier Nubio. This little drink, easy to incorporate into your routine and from a brand with a knack for unveiling fearsomely effective products, was THE new product I was particularly looking forward to for a light, toned figure.

2. The treatment I can't do without: lymphatic drainage

After the birth of my second child, I could see that I couldn't get back to my pre-pregnancy figure. So I turned to lymphatic drainage (at home with a specialist in the Renata France method, my dear Virginie from @bodyretreatbyvg). Twice a month, I treat myself to this little ritual that helps me reconnect with my body and regain my self-confidence. And the results are there! I've always been self-conscious about my thighs, but now I can really see the difference. I'm more relaxed, my legs are more toned and I feel good about my body. It's a real virtuous circle!

3. The wellness ritual I no longer give up: dry brushing

I've always had this feeling of heavy legs (thanks to water retention!), and if there's one ritual that has had an effect on the tone of my skin, it's dry brushing! Frankly, it's not a habit I have every morning, before heading off to the shower. But when I'm feeling sluggish, I'm not above grabbing my Body Drying Brush Oh My Cream Skincare and off I go for a few minutes of circulation-boosting self-massage. As well as doing me a world of good, it's the ritual that really makes a difference to my body.

4. My sporting revelation: Pilates in 20 minutes

My post-partum revelation after the arrival of my second? A real lack of dynamism and constant fatigue. I'd given up physical activity for lack of time, even though a bit of sport would certainly have given me the energy I needed. But finding a couple of hours free in my already busy week seemed complicated, especially when I'm dreaming of settling down as soon as I have an hour to myself.

So I've incorporated a short sporting ritual into the end of my day: video Pilates classes. It's a gentle practice that motivates me and does me good. Twice a week, I unroll my yoga mat (in the middle of the living room!), slip on my leggings and off I go for 15-20 minutes of Youtube video, in front of videos by @melissawoodhealth, @juliepujolsand Pamela Reif or even ELLE !

5. Nutrition: MG Pep's re-balancing system

To get back on track with my eating habits, I turned to MG Pep's. This method of rebalancing the diet involves learning to combine the right foods for better digestion and a visibly slimmer figure. Accompanied by an expert in the field (Sophie Boudrant Richter whom I can't thank enough!), I succeeded in reconciling the strict rules of the program with my tastes, work constraints and outings, all the while eating to my heart's content, without any frustration! The result? Although the method may seem a little radical at first, it has enabled me to get back into good eating habits (goodbye junk food!), to regain my energy and feel great. And what's more, I managed to shed those last pregnancy pounds I'd been hoping to lose.
