I’ve always had an issue with my stomach. Even at my thinnest in my 20s and “wedding weight†in my early 30s, I never (ever) felt confident baring my belly in a bikini. Fast forward to almost 20 years later at the age of 42, I do Pilates six days a week—and while I’m definitely in the best shape of my life, I still see room for abdominal improvement.

AVÈNE’S GENTLE BODY SCRUB FOR DRY SKIN WOES
For those of us with dry, sensitive skin, season changes undoubtedly cause a plethora of issues. As the weather gets colder and the boots and coats come out of hiding, I experience them at full-speed. Scaly legs? Check. Itchy, inflamed arms? Double check. I’m always looking for something to use in the shower that exfoliates without irritation, and the made-in-France Gentle Body Scrub by Avène has proven to be my skin’s new savior.
Having always been hesitant towards exfoliating beads due to their roughness, I found that the beads in Avène’s scrub were small enough that I barely even noticed they were there. I put the scrub on my loofah in the shower and instantly no
