Anti cellulite

Anti cellulite: creams, gels and capsules

Anti cellulite products are made for smoothing and firming care of the skin on the thighs, hips and abdomen. Here you will find cellulite cream, cryo gel, gel-mud, concentrates and capsules used together with massage.

The range suits anyone who wants to add a clear step to body care: every day after the shower, or as a treatment course before a holiday. The products come from the Collistar, Shiseido and Filorga lines, so you will find both a light gel and a richer cream.

How to choose an anti cellulite product

• Cream and thermal cream: massaged into skin, giving a warming or cooling effect.
• Gel and cryo gel: a fresh texture, comfortable in summer.
• Mud and concentrate: more intensive care used as a course.
• Capsules: a daily caffeine-based body care product (14 pcs in the pack).

Start with a body scrub on dry skin and follow with a body lotion. Anti cellulite products come from Collistar and Shiseido.

The product types in more detail

If you like a rich feel, choose a cream. The thermal cream gives a feeling of warmth while you massage and suits the colder months. The slimming body cream is made for everyday care of the thigh and buttock area and fits neatly into an evening routine.

If you prefer a light, refreshing feel, choose a gel. A gel is more fluid, absorbs quickly and is comfortable in warm weather. Mud is thicker and made for days when you have time for a thorough treatment: the Draining gel-mud is applied as a course.

A concentrate is more intensive care, used as a course. The Two Phase Sculpting concentrate suits people who like clearly defined treatment courses and want to give their skin a little more time.

A body care routine step by step

Care is more pleasant when it is regular. Here is a simple routine you can adapt to your day:

• Step 1: cleanse the skin in the shower and pat it lightly dry.
• Step 2: use a body scrub once or twice a week, so the skin is smooth and ready for care.
• Step 3: apply the cellulite cream or gel and massage it in with upward strokes.
• Step 4: finish with a body oil or body cream that keeps the skin soft.

Massage is part of the care: slow, firm strokes over the thighs, buttocks and abdomen turn the routine into a small ritual. An evening massage is a moment for yourself.

Which product for which season

In summer many people choose a cryo gel or a light gel, because the cooling texture is comfortable after the beach and at the end of a hot day. In autumn and winter a thermal cream with a warming feel turns the evening routine into a pleasant ritual. In spring, as a holiday approaches, a mud or concentrate used as a course is a popular choice. For a year-round routine, choose a cream whose scent and texture you love: a good feeling during the care makes you do it regularly. Candlelight and calm music make a nice little ritual when the evening is meant for exactly that.

Who these products suit

Anti cellulite products suit anyone who cares about the look of the skin on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen and wants a clearer direction in body care. They are made for adults who enjoy a ritual: a long shower, a scrub, a massage and a lovely scent. The range also suits those preparing for a holiday, a wedding or the summer season, who want to look after their skin before the event.

How to plan a treatment course

Pick one main product whose texture you like and use it every day at the same time. That way care becomes a habit rather than an exception once a week. Keep the pack in a visible place in the bathroom. Add a scrub once or twice a week and follow the directions on the pack. When the course ends, choose a new product or continue with the one that suited you.

You can also tie the care to other routines: after a workout, before bed or on a weekend as part of a home spa day. Then the care does not stop when the day has been long.

Capsules and targeted cream

If you want care that fits a handbag and a busy day, look at the caffeine capsules: a daily caffeine-based body care product (14 pcs in the pack). When the care is aimed at one area, a firming cream for the abdomen and hips has a texture made for massaging in exactly there. Both go well with a body scrub and a moisturising body cream.

The choice of texture and scent is personal: some people like a cold cryo gel, others a warm thermal cream, others a rich, soft cream. If you cannot decide, start with the texture that feels the nicest in the evening, because that is the one you will use most consistently.

Popular brands

Collistar has the widest range here: cryo gel, thermal cream, gel-mud, concentrate, firming cream and capsules. From the Advanced Body Creator line, Shiseido offers an anti cellulite body gel and the Super Slimming Reducer body cream. Filorga adds the Nutri-Modeling body cream, made for body contour care.

Care for yourself and as a gift

An anti cellulite treatment course is a gift to yourself: a long massage after a warm shower, a lovely scent and the feeling that you are doing something good for yourself. As a present, a rich cream together with a body scrub works well, because the recipient gets a whole care ritual in one parcel. If you do not know where to start, choose the popular cryo gel and add a scrub.
