Let’s face it – nobody takes good care of their thighs and bottom during the colder months. Nobody, that is, except for the kind of people who use ‘winter’ as a verb (as in “where do you winter?” Answer: “Mustique”), and models. There is no seasonal respite for model bum and thighs – they could be called upon to perform at any minute.

Recipe:

1) Take one of your favourite body lotions (lotions work much better for this than butters or thick creams)

2) Dispense a manageable amount into the palm of your hand

3) Add a few drops of Clarins Body Shaping Supplement

4) Mix, and massage into thighs, bottom and tummy

Clarins concentrate is utterly genius; instead of forking out premium prices for a ready-mixed lotion, you can use this supplement to turn your own humble body lotions into a powerful cellulite-and-fat-busting product!

Cost per application is considerably reduced – 50ml of supplement costs £36.50, only six to eight drops are needed each time – and it means that you can use whatever lotion takes your fancy, whether it be own-brand Coco-butter for less than a pound, or the most extravagant of anti-aging body milks.

TIP: The Shaping Supplement will blend with oils – why not combine with Almond Oil (see Listening to Mum) for a nightly after-bath treatment?
