Cellulite and heavy legs: what are we talking about?
Heavy legs, cramps, water retention, tingling, cellulite concentrated on the thighs and calves… These signs are often associated with poor circulation, and cellulite can accompany them. However, they are not enough to establish a diagnosis: only a doctor can determine the cause. If you experience them regularly, speak to your doctor.

The good news is that solutions do exist to look after both your legs and your skin affected by cellulite!
What everyday habits can you adopt?
A few simple habits can be adopted on a daily basis:
- Avoid heat sources and swap steaming baths for cool showers!
- Avoid tight clothing, boots and underwear so as not to put unnecessary pressure on your legs day to day.
- Incorporate certain foods such as garlic and ginger root as part of a varied diet. For plants such as horse chestnut or ginkgo biloba, ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice first.
- Don’t smoke, as tobacco is not an ally for your legs or your skin.
- At home, try elevating your legs when sitting or lying down.
- If you spend your day sitting at a desk, get up every hour to stretch your legs, or do a few discreet squats and stretches.
- Don’t forget to use your Anti-Cellulite Cupping Cup: this cup is inspired by the well-known palper-rouler massage and can be used on all cellulite types to massage areas where dimples form. After each massage session, remember to drink a glass of water, with lemon if you like. For a regular routine, allow 3 minutes of massage a day.
