The Challenge
It’s Day 24 of the My Body Challenge.
Still going strong?
As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your cold anti-cellulite shower (explained on Day 4).
For this morning, 2 slices of wholegrain bread with 1 tsp of jam (your choice) + a coffee or mint tea.
For dinner, here is today’s recipe:
Carrot Soup
Ingredients (serves 4):
– 1 kg carrots
– 2 onions
– 1 litre of water or vegetable stock
– pepper
– 1 teaspoon of curry powder
Recipe preparation:
Slice the carrots and onions.
Add the carrots, onions, stock and a little pepper to a saucepan.
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until the carrots are very tender.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
Blend the soup using a blender or food mill. Add the curry, stir and enjoy 🙂
Extra: Why drink mint herbal tea?
Drinking water is essential in the fight against cellulite. But did you know that herbal infusions are also highly beneficial? Certain plants have detoxifying, diuretic and purifying properties that are particularly well suited to tackling cellulite. Combine their effects with your CelluBlue and you’ll be well on your way to smoother skin!
Among the best natural herbal teas against cellulite, mint is a top choice.
Refreshing and thirst-quenching, mint tea helps cleanse the body naturally. Mint is ideal for detoxifying the body from fatty deposits and for boosting blood circulation. Simply steep a few dried or fresh mint leaves in a cup of boiling water to enjoy all its benefits!”
Today’s exercise
Do you still have your skipping rope handy?
For those who haven’t read our Day 6 article, you’ll find the 8 great reasons to take up skipping — a full-body workout you can do anywhere!
Do 3 minutes of continuous skipping, or go for 3 sets of 100 jumps — and more if you can.
Daily palpate-roll massage
To tackle cellulite, the palpate-roll is the most effective massage technique there is.
This technique involves kneading the skin to stimulate lipolysis, which helps release fat from adipose cells while boosting both venous and lymphatic circulation.
These actions help combat cellulite and the orange-peel effect, as well as reducing water retention. Ideal for eliminating toxins beneath the skin, this massage can be performed with a device, by a professional, or by hand.
The movement should always go from bottom to top to improve circulation. Although this technique can sometimes be uncomfortable, it is remarkably effective against all types of cellulite. A few basic principles should nonetheless be followed:
The massage should always be performed on an area that has been oiled beforehand.
The palpate-roll should not be used on skin with open wounds, as this could worsen injuries and impair healing.
The CelluBlue method:

The manual method:
This method only requires energy (elbow grease!), a little more time since it is less effective than using the cup, and some patience to get the right precision.
Watch the video below for the full technique.
For today, massage each area for 10 minutes.
