Good to know : Massage is important to achieve good results. It is therefore advisable to be very regular and to do it morning and evening ideally. The massage should ideally last at least 5 minutes to be beneficial. You don’t know the right gestures? For example, we can take inspiration from the gestures used to dry brush! On the stomach, massage clockwise. On the legs, massage upwards (towards the heart) to follow venous return. It is also possible to massage by palpating and rolling. This fights against water retention in the tissues and flushes out the toxins and fat cells that cause the orange peel effect on the buttocks, thighs and hips.
