3 / Target the care formula

Gesture : the pros recommend to perform a first scrub a week before the start of treatment and another one the day before. Moisten the skin with lukewarm water so that the dead cells come off even more easily. massage a hazel of exfoliation on each area concerned by making circular movements.

5 / Use a suction cup

The suction cup reproduces the movement of rolling massage, which allows to restart the cutaneous micro-circulation, to oxygenate the tissues, and to revive the lymphatic flow. She is particularly effective on the buttocks and the inside of the knees. However, be careful not to hurt yourself: always use it with an oil or cream.

Gesture Apply the oil or cream to the affected area, place the suction cup, then pinch on each side to flush the air. Know that the more you pinch, the deeper the massage. Release the sides so that a fold of skin is formed, then drag the suction cup on the skin.
