Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Control

It’s something we all complain about, and it’s something that I am pretty sure there is no real cure for. Cellulite. Regular exercise and the right diet can make a difference, but if you have the fatty deposited tissue that manifests itself as a sort of orange peel, dimpled effect, it’s pretty hard to budge. However, there are loads of products out there that claim to get help shift it.

Since 1996, Clarins have been helping women with their cellulite, and have just launched their SIXTH generation Body Lift – Body Lift Cellulite Control which promises to target early and stubborn cellulite.

Clarins Institute in collaboration with Inserm research has made further advances into the understanding of cellulite. Inserm is the only French public research body entirely dedicated to human health – researchers are committed to studying all diseases, common or rare.

There is a lot of science behind cellulite, how it is formed, with what type of cells, but although interesting, it’s science, and it sort of blows my mind, so I won’t even try to explain it here. What I will tell you is that, formulated with eight plant extracts, this Body Lift Cellulite Control acts at all stages of the formation of adipose tissue – that’s fat to you and me – to reduce cellulite and help maintain the results by preventing the formulation of new cellulite.

Caffeine is an ever-present ingredient in anti-cellulite products, and it is here with Cangzhu and Geranium which help release the fat, to be broken down. Horsechestnut, Baccharis extract and Hazelnut oil work on giving an immediate lifting effect.

And what I like about this product is that it comes with an insert  – Clarins Self-Massage Body Contouring Method. This method, in conjunction with the Body Lift Cellulite Control, works to ‘trap’ the fat tissue, through a combination of manual pressure and muscle contraction, to stimulate deep-down and to drain away excess fluid and fatty deposits. It takes just a few minutes, and can be carried out sitting down, on the bath mat, perhaps

I have to say, I have not tried this product yet, but I will give it a go, and report back!
