Eugenia Silva is in her usual paradise: the crystal-clear beaches of Formentera, where she has been spending her summers for years and where she can be seen these days enjoying her seaside refuge. From her island home, the model shares her summer on social media, based on sunbathing, reading, boat trips, and beach looks that never disappoint. Every day she surprises us with a new effortless style proposal that achieves that unique balance of hers between sophistication and naturalness.

One of her latest beach outfits has been especially celebrated: a minimalist, elegant, and timeless swimsuit by the French brand Eres, known for its impeccable cuts and palette of soft tones. Specifically, it is a design with a classic silhouette, featuring a square neckline and wide straps that enhance her figure without artifice. The color—a warm, almost bronze brown—highlights her golden tan and provides a sophisticated air that contrasts with the white and turquoise backdrop of the Mediterranean. A swimsuit that proves that, when there is style (and well-cared-for skin), less is always more.

Toned and luminous skin: beyond the look

If you are wondering how you can—with the summer time left—improve the appearance of your legs and combat that feeling of heaviness so typical of the season, this is of interest to you.

Light legs in summer: when the heat doesn't help

Heaviness, swelling, and the sensation of tired legs are some of the most common discomforts during the summer. Vasodilation—the natural widening of veins due to heat—complicates venous return and promotes fluid retention. Furthermore, the loss of electrolytes through sweat, a diet rich in salt or sugars, and dehydration further accentuate the problem.

From Beldon Medical, their founder Teresa de Miguel and her team of specialists advocate for an intelligent combination of in-clinic treatments, specific nutrition, and cosmetic products to reverse this situation.

“Legs suffer especially in summer. We opt for protocols that combine lymphatic drainage, radiofrequency, and products that stimulate microcirculation,” she explains. Among the experts' favorites are always:

• Manual lymphatic drainage: gentle but deep, it stimulates the lymphatic system, alleviates retention, and improves skin texture. Ideal if you are looking for lighter and smoother legs.





• Pressotherapy: a technique that stimulates circulation with controlled pressure. It relieves fatigue and improves visible cellulite.





• Indiba: one of the most effective. Through radiofrequency, it improves venous and lymphatic return, reduces inflammation, and visibly tones the skin from the first session. “Five well-planned Indiba sessions, accompanied by drainage massages, make a real difference,” says Alejandra Castro, a specialist at the center.

From the kitchen: what you eat also matters

A good appearance for your legs—and what is not your legs—is also fought with a fork and spoon. These are the basic tips from nutrition experts:

• Reduce sodium (cold cuts, sauces, processed foods).





• Increase potassium (banana, spinach, avocado).





• Introduce draining and anti-inflammatory foods (pineapple, cucumber, celery, berries).





• Don't forget quality proteins (eggs, legumes, white fish).





• Hydrate with water and herbal teas of horsetail, ginger, or dandelion.





• Limit alcohol and move. Walking and elevating your legs at the end of the day is as basic as it is effective.

Legs are one of the most exposed areas during the summer, but also one of the most ignored in our beauty routines. Eugenia Silva, without saying it, reminds us with every post that taking care of them is not a luxury, but an act of self-care. It’s not about reaching perfection, but about feeling good. About moving with lightness. And about reaching September knowing that we did something for ourselves. Even if it was just applying a cooling gel after the shower or walking barefoot on the sand. Because every gesture counts.
