Reshape your body

Successful cellulite treatment requires an assessment of the level of disease and general health condition, appropriate choice of products and ways of application. 

There are several types of cellulite – the most important thing is to distinguish them

Aqueous cellulite is the most common type of cellulite. The symptoms are fluid retention and poor blood circulation. The texture of the skin is close to orange peel, and skin tissues are swollen. The solution for this type of cellulite is blood circulation improvement. 

Adipose cellulite can be visible when you pinch the skin, or when you place the body in a specific position and stretch it. It is not painful and not much noticeable. We can treat it efficiently, as the causes involve an unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle. 

Edematous cellulite is the worst type of cellulite. It is hard, visible, with bumpy and uneven skin. In some cases, it can be painful. It is not easy to get rid of this type of cellulite, but not impossible either. You will need a lot of time and effort.

We can now proudly present our new product Cinnamon Massage Gel. The gel reshapes skin by making it firmer, smooth and tight, and the cellulite is less visible.  Cinnamon Massage Gel is enriched with essential and aromatic oils that work wonders for the skin, as well as fine particles of silica sand and pulverized cinnamon bark for removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.

Ivy extract acts as an astringent, has a soothing and relaxing effect on the skin. Because of flavonoids content, it prevents water accumulation in the skin, so it is often part of products that help reduce cellulite. (1-3).

Glycerin is a well-known natural humectant. Its most essential role is to attract water to the skin, hydrate it and make it smooth. It improves skin barrier properties. It has a soothing effect on the skin. (4).

In addition to that, it contains a lot of polyphenol units with beneficial antioxidant properties. It catches free radicals (6), thus protecting the skin from harmful external factors.
