Review: Cellulite Reduction Gels

Image000copy Remember these leg gels? I had an amazing surprise last night. I think the Hip & Leg Power Tight, which is for removing cellulite, actually works! My yoga pants that I use for sleeping, (not doing much yoga anymore haaha), were quite fitted a few days ago but when I used it yesterday, they were actually baggy and loose! I don't think it could be due to anything other than using these gels every night, because I have been eating alot due to the Chinese/Lunar New Year celebrations and these yoga pants have not shrunk nor expanded. I guess these gels work on reducing the water retention. Image005copy I must confess, I had been feeling bloated and so I also bought a gel for the tummy area called Fit Suana Waist. I am not sure how much the tummy has reduced in size ... but it has reduced some due to the loose pants, and also de-wrinkled some of my flabby stretch marks (which came from having my extra-large son lol). Overall, I'd say these are rather useful gels to have. They are not expensive, I purchased them for below $20SG each and I didn't have great expectations. I only wanted some comfort and relief from my bloated and swollen sensation on my legs and tummy. I thought the warmth the gels provide will give some relief. I didn't expect they would actually provide real inch-loss so I didn't measure myself, but it seems they do work! © Copyright. All rights reserved.

Leg Products: Cool Tights Gel, Hip & Leg Power Tight

John Little's beauty store, Star Dust, is now having a 20% (+10% for Robinson Card members) storewide discount. So, since I had some time I stopped by after work to stock up on my HG stuff, like Fiberwig. In addition, lately, my legs have been feeling tired and heavy. I also wake up with sore feet and painful soles. I know there are several things I could do, like change my diet and do some stretching etc. but I also wanted some immediate relief. So, when I saw thesegels with funny names, I bought them after some consideration. Very cheap, in my opinion, after all the discounts. Image000copy The blue bottle is for the lower legs, with the purpose of relieving tiredness, heaviness and provide a tightening feeling, improve circulation, prevent formation of veins and swelling. The orange bottle is for hips and thighs, has a cool-hot effect, and is supposed to also remove cellulite. They are both light-weight gels that absorb quickly and do not require long massaging. According to a poster display, both were reviewed in 女人我最大, together with some other items. Seems like that means they are good products? I don't know why appearing on 女人我最大 implies a product is good though. *tickled* Nonetheless, after application, my legs and feet felt relieved of tiredness and heaviness. The very minty and cool sensation is soothing. It does the job of giving me some immediate relief, so I'm quite happy with my purchases. The heat feeling from the orange bottle is not so strong. Not sure if the cellulite will be removed, but for something less than S$15 each, it's ok to me to just have some sensory comfort effect. I also found this online: Leg Care Synergy. Maybe I could find something similar in the aromatherapy oils sections at the pharmacy. © Copyright. All rights reserved.
