You can’t under estimate the power of a good work out – and what that will do to your, um, derrière. But a little help can go a long way too. Here are a few fab; firming, smoothing and shaping creams to help prep for the before-you-know-it-it’s-here, summer sun!
I’ve always loved the Clarins Renew Plus Body Serum. (Right back to my days on the Clarins counter as a student 
) I can feel and see a huge difference in my skin texture when using this product regularly. It’s a very light lotion and so best used with a moisturizer if you have dry skin.
Says the Clarins Website:
- Sorbier bud, recognised for its capacity to stimulate blood microcirculation, provides skin with a luminous, even, satin-smooth aspect and a fresh, healthy-looking glow.
- Katafray extract combined with Peach tree milk reinforces the skin’s protective barrier and encourage lasting hydration, the key to incredibly soft skin.
- Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin that retains moisture, helps maintain a smooth, even texture and optimal elasticity so skin stays smoother, toned and more youthful-looking
Love it! You can buy it here.
Gernetic International Vasco Artera is great for sluggish legs and cellulite. Lime Blossom calms, smooths and refreshes, Horse Chestnut is de-congesting and an anti inflammatory, chamomile is toning and contains vitamin a, b1, b2, and c and iron – things our skin and blood love! This product is most effective massaging it under your feet, working in an upward motion towards ankles, calves, thighs and abdomen. Massaging will also stimulate blood circulation . Exactly what that suborn, grumpy-old cellulite peel hates! At first glance the cream doesn’t look like it would smell very nice, but it smells gorgeous and has a thick, moisturizing consistency.
The QMS Medicosmetics Body Shape Cream is amazing! Wow, a little goes a long way. It’s incredibly stimulating and so you only need to use a little. You can actually feel your skin heating up and it can even go slightly pink, which quickly goes away. Me being rather heavy handed, nearly had myself on fire the one day – until I found out I was using WAY to much.So you’ve been warned. Use it mornings only due to it being so stimulating. Loving this product and its lovely cinnamony fragrance.

Spray 4-5 times on clean dry skin, rolling the roller over in horizontal and vertical movements (gently – I’ve already scratched myself) – finishing off by spraying the area again and leaving it. The kit retails at R1895 (Available at Edgars), so I’m going to try be religious about this routine and report back!
I hope you’ve enjoyed the 3 part Winter Body Round Up. There will be loads more products coming up in the near future - so keep a look out! At the end of the day – all these treatments are nothing without a healthy lifestyle and a Go-Get-Em attitude. Love the skin your in!
