Admittedly, I wasn’t too familiar with Parisian brand Anne Semonin before recently, but I got the pleasure of trying out some wonderful skincare products, and now I can see why people become converts to this premium skincare brand.
The brand’s belief is that anyone’s skin has the potential to be radiant, and Anne Semonin’s mineral-rich and ‘prescribed’ skincare promises to give optimum efficiency. I was given the Lipoliss Anti-Cellulite Gel to try out and I must say, I was intrigued.
Oh, the dreaded orange-peel skin. The best of us have it okay? Admittedly I am usually a little dubious about anti-cellulite creams, as cellulite is so stubborn to get rid of – even if you are on a great diet and exercise regime. It can just be part of your genetics. But – saying this, what’s the harm in using a targeted cream that promises to make your skin look and feel the best it can – on the areas you might feel less fond of? It’s a no brainer really, so away I went, and started using the stuff.
Described as the ‘innovative approach to weight loss based on a major scientific discovery: Sea Lotus Extract“, the Lipoliss Anti Cellulite Gel is designed to smooth away the appearance of cellulite and improve the firmness of the problem areas on your body. The essential properties of Sea Lotus help keep adipocytes (fat cells) active, which maximises the fat breakdown and drainage, ensuring that your body is holding onto the minimum amount of fatty acids. You need to apply this gel twice daily for best effects, once in the morning and night.
The pinky gel-like cream has a lovely velvety texture, and is quickly absorbed, which I instantly liked. This had a massive soothing effect on my skin, which can tend to feel a little bumpy around my thigh area too, plus it smells deliciously fruity. The trick is in the application too – using a kneading motion is a good technique to get into the swing of – even when applying your regular creams. Keep the circulation going!
The tops of my legs look and feel smoother, and I can tell that with reasonable expectations and constant use, this cream is a great one. Tackle cellulite from the outside as well as the inside.
