Carol Bresolin: ‘It is essential to prioritize yourself and take time for yourself’

With more than five million followers on Instagram, the digital influencer Carol Bresolin is successful on social networks with content showing her day-to-day life and her care when it comes to beauty. In an interview with Good shapeshe, who also has a career as an actress, reveals her secrets to keep her skin, hair and body always healthy.

SKINCARE

Carol believes that the key to radiant skin lies in regularity of care. For her, this works a lot more than going overboard with the amount of steps and cosmetics.

“I have a basic that I do absolutely every day, regardless of whether I go to bed very late or wake up very early. I don’t give up on that. It’s five minutes that I know I’m doing well and, because it’s something quick, I know it won’t get in my way, ”she says.

“It’s a little time of yours, it’s time to look at you and prioritize yourself. Doing the basics with dermocosmetics that are really good, the change is surprising. I don’t know a person who doesn’t care about being well with themselves”.

To start, she washes her face with a foam or facial cleansing soap, then applies a moisturizer or serum to deeply treat the skin. One of the influencer’s most beloved assets is vitamin C, which has antioxidant action, fighting damage caused by external aggressions and skin aging.

That done, in her daytime skincare, she gives preference to tinted sunscreen, as it is a practical product that, in addition to protecting against solar radiation, evens out the skin tone. “Then I put on blush and mascara and I’m ready to leave the house.”

At night, the application of a eye area cream is indispensable for the actress, as it is responsible for promoting a lifting effect and putting an end to dark circles.

In order to prevent peeling lips, something that Carol is very fond of doing is sleep with lip balm. “I feel like the next day I wake up with wonderful lips and zero dryness,” she reports.

HAIR

When she had blonde locks, her care was redoubled, as they tended to be more sensitive and susceptible to damage. “Blonde hair dries out a lot more,” she points out. To deal with this situation, treatment masks, especially from the brand Kerastasewere the ones that helped her the most.

“Now that I’m brown and I don’t have to worry about touching up my roots, I’m taking the opportunity to take vitamins for strengthening and hair growthand of course I have the other basic care too”.

One of Carol Bresolin’s valuable tips for achieving beautiful and resistant locks is regularly use a hair oil. “I can’t live without my oils. I use some from Braé, Essential and Revival. There’s also Wella’s Luxe Oil, which I love. It’s what leaves the hair the most shiny and silky,” she recommends.

“I get out of the shower and apply oil to comb and, the next day, when I wake up, I apply it again. Since I started using it every day, my hair has completely changed“.

DIET

Despite having already done very restrictive diets at a moment in her life, today, Carol sees that this is not what makes sense for her health and well-being. As the influencer says, the balance has been your priority.

“It’s literally not being so radical, in the sense of not eating fast food even when you want to. Now, if I feel like it, I eat it, then the other day, I try to take care of it a little more”, he explains, clarifying that the quarantine experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic contributed to this change of perspective regarding food.

“I don’t let myself go wanting for anything. I will never do that again. It is better to be balanced and healthy, paying attention to your body and getting to know yourself, than to follow something very strict“, he completes.

The influencer considers the water one of your best friends when it comes to care not only for your health, but also for your beauty, as it favors the luminosity and firmness of the skin and leaves the hair well nourished. For this reason, throughout the day, she “lives with a water bottle in her hand”.

“I think it’s one of the main things to have a healthy body. I’m always checking myself for drink plenty of water“.

TRAINING

From a very young age, the actress cultivates the love of movement, and has already ventured into several modalities. “I am very sporty. I believe there is nothing in this world that I haven’t done yet. I love trying new things, I’ve played volleyball, football, tried surfing, beach tennis, functional, muay thay, crossfit, bodybuilding and several other classes”, she lists, describing that she loves the “absurdly delicious” feeling that the post-workout provides .

Carol, who is part of the cast of the film “Desapega”, in which she stars with Maísa Silva and Glória Pires, shares that she faces difficulties in gaining lean mass because of her genetics. For this reason, she seeks to mix other modalities with bodybuilding for hypertrophy, which she has been practicing for 12 years.

“I intersperse bodybuilding with other modalities, because if I do functional training every day, I can’t keep my body the way I like it. I need bodybuilding and I like it a lot, but what I like much more are other activities, for example, muay thai”.

Although she has always been passionate about the active lifestyle, Bresolin says that she ended up putting it aside due to the pandemic and, nowadays, even after the end of the quarantine, she still faces challenges to resume her previous pace.

“I’ve always been very fit, I’ve always really enjoyed working out, I’ve even worked out twice a day. I always liked to keep moving until quarantine arrived. Not that I stopped liking it, but after the quarantine, when we were prevented from going to gyms, I lost a little bit of love for being in the gym and exercising”, he vents. “So I’m having trouble sticking to an exercise routine, which used to be my priority.”

“It is essential to take care of yourself, prioritize yourself, take time for yourself. Self-care goes far beyond having beautiful skin or beautiful hair., it goes far beyond the physical, therapy, for example, is a way of taking care of yourself, because you are taking care of your mental health. It is extremely important in everyone’s life to have time for themselves and to put themselves first, especially in this chaotic world that we are living in”, he concludes.
