Staying ship-shape

THERE is a new addition to Marion's luggage when she travels these days – the new Clarins High Definition Body Lift.

"It is a body lift treatment that helps shed cellulite to ensure firmer and smooth skin and a redefined silhouette," explains Caunter.

She has been using the product to complement her active lifestyle which includes consistent exercise and healthy eating habits – both of which help reduce that dreaded orange-peel effect on the skin.

The Clarins HD Body Lift is easy to use – all she has to do is to apply the formula twice a day to the "target'' areas, which usually include the hips and thighs.

"It's portable and you can use it wherever you are. You can carry it to work or when you are travelling and all you need is five minutes a day to apply it on your body," Caunter says.

"Think of it as your facial regime. I think a lot of women practice the cleanse, tone and moisturise regime for their face, and this is exactly like that." Caunter has been using Clarins High Definition Body Lift for just over a month and she can already see the results.

"My thighs are smoother and lifted and I don't see the little waves on the skin anymore. I'm definitely feeling a little bit more confident when it comes to wearing shorts or mini skirts," she says.

The shaping cream also leaves a cooling sensation on the skin which Caunter feels is perfect for our hot weather.

"Unlike some creams which have a thick texture, this shaping cream leaves my skin feeling cool so I just slap it on and go on my merry way."

The Clarins HD Bodylift stimulates the release of excess fats through two innovations; the product assists the opening of the protein barrier which protects stored fats and helps to trigger the elimination of fats with caffeine.

It smoothes the skin and enhances its beauty through its moisturising and nourishing action.

The shaping cream will be available at all Clarins counters, Instituts and boutiques nationwide from May 1 and is priced at RM180 per bottle.
