Losing inches, targeting the appearance of cellulite, detoxing and slimming… The promises made by slimming creams sound almost too good to be true… Don’t they, ladies? But what can you really expect from them? Here’s a closer look at how they work, how to use them properly and their limitations.
How do slimming creams work?
Slimming creams contain selected active ingredients, such as pineapple, green tea and seaweed extracts, chosen to help fight the appearance of cellulite. When you apply these creams, they work on the upper layers of your skin, helping it look smoother. However, a cream cannot make the fat cells beneath the skin disappear.
What’s more, when applying these slimming creams, it is often recommended that you massage your skin firmly. This massage is also part of the treatment: it helps the product penetrate and leaves the skin feeling smoother and more toned.
When chosen carefully and used regularly, slimming creams allow you to benefit from both the active ingredients and the massage — a winning combination for fighting the appearance of cellulite and caring for your skin!
How to use slimming creams correctly?
First things first, check the ingredients and choose products with actives suited to your needs, such as the night slimming creams for the stomach and thighs by Cellublue.
The evening treatment with Ginger & Slimsize® for the belly and hips
- Targeted night treatment for belly & hips, to massage in every evening before bed
- Ginger & Slimsize®, with a patented active ingredient at the heart of the formula
- Helps smooth and firm the skin
The evening slimming treatment for thighs and buttocks
- Targeted night treatment for thighs & buttocks, to massage in every evening before bed
- A formula with Ginger and Remoduline® (a patented active) to apply every evening
- Helps smooth and firm the skin
Second, follow the usage instructions! For example, with Cellublue’s night slimming treatments for the stomach and thighs, we recommend using them daily during the first month. After that, you can apply them every other evening to continue your routine. For best results, apply these treatments using circular movements until the cream is fully absorbed. Always massage from the bottom upwards and, ideally, apply them after your shower.
Slimming creams can provide a real boost for your skin, but they have no effect on your weight. These treatments do not target fat stored deeper beneath the skin or excess weight. To care for your figure, it is essential to adopt a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruit, protein and wholegrains. Regular physical activity is equally important. Slimming creams have their place in a beauty routine, but only a balanced diet and regular physical activity act on your figure.
Spotlight on “cryo” creams
There are several variations of slimming creams, including “cryo” creams. These treatments are inspired by cryotherapy, a method offered in salons that uses cold. However, cryotherapy sessions at a salon can be extremely expensive! So, to recreate that cooling sensation at home, Cellublue has developed a range of treatments inspired by this method: the Cryo Slimming Gel Stomach and the Cryo Slimming Gel Thighs.
The cooling gel that leaves the skin on your stomach firmer
- Arctic Algae, Prosveltyl® & Menthol, combined in a formula designed for the stomach and hips
- Sorbet texture: it absorbs faster and makes the fresh sensation last longer
- 🍃 98.3% natural-origin ingredients
The cooling gel that leaves thigh skin firmer
- Immediate cooling effect: menthol kicks in as soon as it is applied, then skin is firmer under your fingers (keep the gel in the fridge for even more intensity)
- Caffeine & Lipothetic®, a patented active ingredient, at the heart of a formula designed for thighs and buttocks
- Sorbet texture: it absorbs faster and makes the feeling of freshness last longer
These two treatments are designed to target the appearance of cellulite in specific areas. Their blends of active ingredients are combined with an icy effect, creating a fresh sensation as soon as they are applied. With the cryo range, you can care for your thighs, buttocks, hips and stomach. Perfect for getting ready for summer, right?
