Contrary to popular belief, cellulite isn't solely linked to fat, but also to poor circulation and insufficient lymphatic drainage. There are natural and effective solutions to stimulate the lymphatic system and visibly smooth the skin. Discover how lymphatic drainage can transform your beauty routine and which tools to use to maximize its effects.
Why does the lymphatic system play a key role in cellulite?
Lymph is a fluid that circulates throughout our body to eliminate toxins and waste. Unlike blood, it doesn't have a "heart" to pump it: it relies on our movements and proper massage to circulate effectively. When it stagnates, it promotes water retention and the accumulation of toxins under the skin, contributing to the appearance of cellulite.
Effective lymphatic drainage helps to:
- Detoxify the body and decongest tissues
- Improve blood and lymphatic circulation
- Smooth and firm the skin while reducing the appearance of orange peel skin
And the good news? It is possible to activate this drainage without going to a salon or between your sessions in a treatment room, thanks to suitable tools and simple actions to adopt from your bathroom.
The best tools for effective lymphatic drainage
1. The Body Slim Brush: the essential step to activate circulation
Dry brushing is an age-old technique that instantly stimulates lymphatic and blood circulation. Thanks to its natural bristles, the Body Slim' Brush gently exfoliates, removes dead skin cells, and activates microcirculation for an immediate toning effect.
How do I use it?
- On dry skin, before showering, make circular movements always moving upwards towards the heart.
- Focus on areas prone to cellulite: thighs, buttocks, stomach.
- 5 minutes a day is enough for visible results in a few weeks.
Results: softer, firmer skin and activated drainage from the morning!
2. The Ridoki Body: the secret to anti-cellulite massages
Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, the Ridoki Body is a metal roller with small spikes that stimulate deep tissues. Its mechanical action dislodges fatty deposits and boosts circulation, thus promoting toxin elimination and collagen production.
How do I use it?
- Apply a draining oil (such as grapefruit or birch oil).
- Roll the Ridoki over the affected areas using firm, slow movements.
- For optimal results, perform this massage for 3 to 5 minutes per area, every day.
Results: smoother, firmer skin and a gradual reduction of the orange peel effect.
Habits to adopt to boost results and reduce cellulite
- Stay hydrated: the lymphatic system needs water to circulate properly. Drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day.
- Eat to prevent water retention: favor foods rich in potassium (banana, avocado, spinach) and limit salt.
- Move regularly: walking, yoga or swimming are excellent for activating lymphatic circulation.
- Take contrast showers (also called Scottish showers): alternate hot and cold water to tone the skin and stimulate the lymph.
