I’m loving this body oil at the moment; it feels almost warming when I massage it in and the texture is just really pleasant! Non-greasy, fast-absorbing but with just enough slip to allow you to get the circulation going. I use it on thighs and bottom and whatever is left over on the palms of my hands I use on my tummy!

The essential oils included in the formula apparently help to stimulate circulation and help with drainage, but I can tell you right now that no lotion or cream will really slim you. Not on its own, at least! That said, I’m a great believer in dedicated anti-cellulite oils, gels and creams, not only because they remind me to target a specific area and allow me to get into a daily massaging routine but because I do think that they help to tone and firm up the skin, improving the general appearance of lumps and bumps. Every little helps, in my opinion!

This oil is new to Melvita (you’ll be hearing more on this brand in the coming weeks – they have some stonking products!) and costs £21 with free worldwide delivery from FeelUnique.com
