How to use it best?
Centella asiatica can be found in several forms: choose whichever fits best into your daily routine! You can find it in infusions, or in extracts and tablets, which are more concentrated. Before consuming it, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice and follow the recommended dosage carefully.

- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
You can also apply it directly to the skin, as creams and oils containing Centella asiatica are used in massage routines for areas affected by cellulite (available from pharmacies, parapharmacies or natural health shops). Apply them daily using circular, firm massages on the areas concerned.
To care for your skin, it’s important to also adjust your diet and maintain a regular exercise routine. And don’t forget your CelluBlue! You can combine Centella asiatica oil with your CelluBlue during your massage session, or apply the cream after your anti-cellulite massage. If you enjoy infusions, enjoy them as a moment of relaxation, and drink enough water throughout the day. Stay consistent for 4 weeks before assessing how your skin looks, and discover the TV reports featuring CelluBlue.
Incorporating Centella asiatica into your routine
Centella asiatica is best suited to a simple, repeatable routine. The most sensible approach is to start with the areas where cellulite bothers you, then choose what you can realistically maintain during the week: a cream or oil, and a massage session with your CelluBlue.
