Not in a gross way obviously, I’m a laydee!
Fat Buns
I am sadly one of the millions of women with cellulite. Unfortunately if you have fat pockets in gross places it doesn’t matter what diet or excercise you do. Obviously the fat cells will shrink with diet and exercise, but their placement won’t change unless you have them removed via lipo (yes please, sign me up) so any cosmetic products that tell you they can rid you of fat or cellulite are crap as they cannot go into your body and move them around or remove them!
They can of course reduce the ‘appearance’ of cellulite or dimpling and that is the best you can hope for. So don’t be too disheartened, it’s better than nothing!
Over the coming weeks I am going to be trying out all manner of products that claim to help or reduce the appearance of cellulite to help myself and hopefully help others in the same cottage cheese filled boat.
This Week My Butt Has Mostly Been Using – Bliss
The product that made me decide to do this ‘Project’ was Bliss Serious Seaweed Cellulite Soap. It has a lot of positives and a few negatives which I will explain. I like that it is ‘serious’!!
This is the info they provide
“The seaweed base and bumpy face stimulate anti-cellulite lymphatic action. Targeted seaweed-and-sweet-almond-oil-based exfoliating soap. Light surface strokes with seaweed will flush out fluids that cause cellulite. The inner and upper thighs, while in the shower.”
Use three to four times weekly.
Positives
£10.00 for 110g this is a lot cheaper than most cellulite products of a department store quality
It’s easy to apply – In the shower just rub in circular motions on your cellulitey bits, then rinse off
It smells really nice
It feels like it is doing something and your skin feels quite taught straight after using
The nubs are a bit scratchy but I enjoyed it!
It’s good for the backs of your arms as long as you don’t scrub too hard
You use it in the shower and rinse it off, so no waiting about for creams or gels to sink in.
Negatives
One of my nubs broke when I was taking off the plastic wrap the soap is packaged in. Therefore I think the plastic packaging is detrimental as it can cause damage rather than protecting the product
Once the nubs wear off, which of course they will do as it’s a soap, I have no idea if the product will work as well?
I am never sure where to store a soap once I have use it, so far I let it air dry and then keep it in the box, but I have no idea if this is sanitary?
Overall
I love the cooling and tighter sensation straight after using. I have been using this every day since Monday so I will update once I have used it up and we shall see if any more permanent changes have been made.
You can purchase this from http://www.blisslondon.co.uk/
They also sell lots of spa -style products with hilarious names, it reminds me of Benefit in a way but more spa-like?
Have you got any cellulite tips for me? So far I have dried dry body brushing (did nothing) and I already drink lots of green tea and water but any other tips are much appreciated x
