The challenge
It’s Day 23 of the “CelluBlue Body Challenge”. We wish you a wonderful long weekend 🙂
As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your cold shower (explained on Day 4).
Here’s a breakfast recipe idea: light pancakes!
Ingredients (for about 8 pancakes):
– 4 tablespoons of cornstarch
– 4 tablespoons of fat-free fromage blanc
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon of sugar (or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar)
– a pinch of baking powder (about 1/4 of a sachet)
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients together: the cornstarch, fromage blanc, eggs, sugar and baking powder until you get a smooth batter (you can use an electric mixer or a whisk).
Then, in a hot pan, pour the batter into the centre using a small ladle. Flip the pancake once you see small bubbles appearing on the surface. Enjoy!
New exercise: the bridge!
Lie on your back, arms alongside your body, head straight and knees bent.
Your feet should be firmly pressed against the floor — they will act as your support. Bring your knees as close to your glutes as possible.
Engage your core, then push through your feet to lift your hips, squeezing your glutes.
Your hips, thighs and knees should be aligned.
Lower back down to the starting position, back flat on the floor, then repeat.
Do 4 sets of 20 reps, and for the bravest among you, feel free to follow up with a few ab exercises 🙂
Daily palpate-roll massage
When it comes to cellulite, the palpate-roll is a well-known massage technique.
This technique involves kneading the skin.
The skin is pinched and then rolled. This massage can be performed using a device, by a professional, or by hand.
The movement should always go from bottom to top. This technique can sometimes be uncomfortable, which is why a few basic principles should be followed:
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
The massage should always be performed on skin that has been oiled beforehand.
The palpate-roll should never be performed on skin with open wounds, as this could worsen injuries and interfere with proper healing.
The CelluBlue method:
Do you have a CelluBlue? Have you heard of our CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup?
This handy little tool makes the palpate-roll massage technique incredibly easy to do at home.

The manual method:
This method only requires energy (a bit of elbow grease!), a little more time, as the manual technique takes longer, and some patience to get the right technique.
Watch the video below for the full method.
For today, massage each area for 10 minutes.
