The team at L’Oreal have come up with a groovy little self-massage gadget and clinical tests have been conducted on 100 women under the supervision of medical expert. It is a lipo-kneading treatment designed to combat visible cellulite. The bottle features 2 kneading rollers, as shown in the photo below, to intensively massage the skin and body contouring draining concentrate to tone the figure and smooth orange-peel skin. The massage is based on the kneading and squeezing concept used in professional salons for lymphatic drainage.

Here’s a demo on how to use it. Couldn’t find an English version.

Cellulite appears on the parts of our body where we are most likely to store fat – thights, bottom, tummy and sometimes upper arms. It’s estimated that 90% of women will have cellulite at some point in our lives, which is caused when fat cells grow with age and start pushing through connective fibers, creating the dimpling effect.

So now, they claim the Co-caffeine Cx will immediately make your skin look firmer and supple, and the most amazing thing is, you will see improvements after 2 weeks! The self-massager is simple to use, my skin becomes slighly red and warm after use, proof that blood is getting to the surface. It has a lovely holiday smell too! Use only 1 or 2 times a day after bath. Always use the rollers in 1 direction: upwards from bottom to top and do not move it back and forth.

I’ve been told by at least 3 friends that this cool little gadget is very effective, so I though I would buy one and have a try. It’s kinda expensive in Shanghai, cost me RMB220 for a bottle. You can get an additional refill bottle for RMB180.

I bought the pro-massager at Watson and the L’Oreal girl gave me a membership card with some samples.

Here’s how to use it:

• Step 1 (Prepare): Cellulite-kneading massage – The massage rollers actively massage the cellulite area in kneading strokes. The skin is squeezed and rolled. This intensive massage helps to stimulate micro-circulation and encourages tissue drainage. The skin is prepared for step 2.
• Step 2 (Post-Massage Firming Concentrate): The concentrate, enriched with stimulating Co-caffeine Cx, is specially formulated to act effectively post-massage and helps to improve the appearance of cellulite.

Apply on the areas of stubborn cellulite and you can now massage like a pro!
