Proskins Slim leggings arrived looking very much like leggings. You are meant to work out in them and even if you are just walking around the fabric is meant to give your skin a work out leaving it smooth, firm, toned.
How is this possible, you think? You get them on and getting them on is kind of a work out in itself. The fabric is like getting into a wetsuit made of extremely tough thin skin. Immediately your thighs cease to wobble. They feel tight at all times and they make you legs look good. They are not so tight they are uncomfortable – they are like secret leg corsets- but ones you can breathe in!
They look like a second skin. The fabric is not thick and bold as you would expect but it has a huge grip to it and it makes everything pulled in.
It also promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, which flushes away toxins that cause cellulite.
Is it possible for a legging to reduce cellulite, I would have said no, but now I am kind of unsure. The patented microencapsulated yarn is enhanced with active slimming ingredients. During wear they get massaged into skin providing instant conditioning. Kind of made me not want to wash them in case I washed out the good stuff.
The fabric itself contains caffeine, which is an active slimming ingredient. I had no idea that coffee promoted fat distruction but I do think caffeine is an appetite suppressant. The fabric also contains retinol, which tightens the skin and stimulates collagen productions and Vitamin E to condition the skin. It has also got Aloe Vera for moisturizing and fatty acids to carry the active ingredients into the skin.
So I know I am making these leggings sound that they are full of things that make you very sweaty. And because they are tight you might feel instantly too hot to put them on but in fact they do this thing where they feel soothing as well as smoothing. You don’t sweat in them nearly as much as regular lycra leggings. They have some kind of antibacterial treatment, which keeps the fabric odour free, which is a good thing.
I am not sure if they actually take inches off your thighs, but when you wear them you have the appearance of definitely being trimmer. I would say they are a very good investment.
