NIVEA Good-bye Cellulite


Alright this one did do it's job. Again While pregnant I gained a whole lots of pounds and when I did slim down the back of my legs did seemed to have cellulite. In case you don't know how cellulite looks like is like little dents in your skin.

IT IS the excess storage of fat in the deeper layers of the skin this causes the skin to get uneven and to loose elasticity. The gain and lost weight or just gain in weight and not exercised to tone up will cause cellulite.

Anyways I did saw improvements on this Nivea product I did use the whole bottle as directed which is twice daily. It did not go away completely but it did reduce it by much I did exercised while using this product, exercised to tone up my legs so perhaps the both combined helped a lot. Also I would massage going upwards instead of going down.
A little about the product. It's blue like gel and for me it smelled delightful has a very strong scent. My husband said he did not like the smell that it was too strong. The product disperses very smooth on the skin and a small amount goes on long. I did noticed that if I would massage it for long the lotion would start to peel off from my skin.

This is how the bottle looks after wrapped it's a 6.7 oz bottle It lasted me for about a month and probably a week. Used as directed.

I rate this product 4 stars out 5 :)

Aveeno Positively Ageless Firming Body Lotion

Well alright after giving birth my tummy was left flabby so I decided to give it a try to this Aveeno firming lotion. When I bought it, it was sold for $10 but now is $8.99 at your Walgreens or Walmart stores.

My experience with this firming lotion is as follows. First it is very very good moisturizer the smell is like tangerines to me. It's also non greasy and it goes on very smoothly when applying it. The bottle says you will see improvements in little as two weeks. NOT TRUTH. I did not see any improvements at all just that my skin was less dry and more moist. But as firming goes this product did not do it's job and I used the whole bottle twice or one time every day. Don't buy unless you want a good moisturizer.

I give this baby on firming 2 stars out of 5.
Aveeno dissapointed me on this one.
