CLARINS
Want to lose weight and keep it off? A balanced diet, regular exercise and daily skin and body care are the keys. Team up with Clarins today!

Take your time to lose weight and feel good about yourself. Focus on your strengths and forget about your little weaknesses. Losing weight slowly means keeping it off for good!
Chose the right moment. It probably isn’t a good idea to begin a weight-loss programme if you are fatigued or stressed. You can, however, start feeling good about your body by using body care products which offer immediate results.
Smile and others will smile back! Know that stress plays a role in the development of cellulite so letting go of stress and adopting a “zen” attitude is very beneficial!
Don’t cross your legs and try raising them a bit while you sleep.
Adopt a healthy diet for a lifetime. To lose weight, you need to reduce your calorie intake. To maintain that weight, you’ll need to find the balance between what calories you burn during the day and how much you eat. Consult a dietician to help you find your balance.
Brush your teeth after every meal, you’ll not be as tempted to snack afterwards.
Enjoy time with others and don’t feel guilty about not staying on your diet. Eat lighter meals the next day, but never skip one.
Exercise. Regular physical activity helps maintain muscle tone and balance energy. 
The Clarins philosophy
Firmness = a youthful-looking you.
A firm body has a youthful appearance even if it is round in shape. When you lose weight, keeping skin firm is essential to enhance your new silhouette. Clarins was the first to create specific skin firming skin care and has added these benefits to all its body streamlining products.
The best way to keep skin firm? Cool water, regular exfoliating, a protein-rich diet and physical exercise.
Focused weight loss
You always lose weight when you’re on a diet, but not always from where you want! Weight loss starts on the face and bust, followed by the waist to streamline stomach, buttocks and hips more quickly and lighten your legs, you must ensure that weight loss is focused. This is what skin care products aim to do. Clarins has created three body streamlining products that focus on different priorities: cellulite control, stubborn curves and water retention.
Establish your priorities
When you make the decision to start taking care of yourself, you always want to do everything — firm skin, streamline body contours, lighten legs etc… it will be too much for you and you’ll give up very quickly. Clarins advice: apply High Definition Body Lift in the morning to disperse cellulite and achieve perfect skin quality. Use a partner product in the evening. Lack of firmness? Tonic Body Oil, Body Firming Cream or Extra-Firming Body Care. Stubborn curves? Body Shaping Cream or Super Restorative Redefining Body Care. Water retention? Anti-Eau Body Treatment Oil.
Gynoid or androgen ?
There are two main types of morphology.
Gynoid: Narrow bust, slim waist, wide hips and somewhat heavier legs.
Androgen: Square shoulders, undefined waist, narrow hips and thin legs. If you have a gynoid morphology, it will never become androgen which doesn’t matter because all shapes are beautiful and can be made even more so. The only real model is you!
Eliminate in the right way
Eliminating waste products from the body depends on circulation. Anything which stimulates return circulation is ideal for releasing stored fat. 
During puberty, the body changes, and sometimes these changes, which include weight variations, can lead to stretch marks.  Basic body care: Tonic Oil and Smoothing Body Scrub for a New Skin.
Pregnancy. The body and bust go through major transformations in just a few months, the most notable being stretching.“Must”products during this time: Tonic Oil and Smoothing Body Scrub for a New Skin.
After baby is born. Give yourself time to get back to your original weight and size. It is usually wise to take up to one year to do so. Maintain a balanced diet and continue to apply your body care products on a daily basis including Total Body Lift and Body Firming Cream.
Around menopause. This is time when weight gain if frequent and the skin can become dry and slacken. The abdomen can also lose its firm qualities. One rule: lose weight slowly and maintain beautiful facial features with Contouring Facial Lift. To help you regain a better define waist, apply Super Restorative Body Care for the waist and abdomen.
And what about children? Watch their weight and teach them healthy eating habits early. Make sure they get plenty of exercise and protect them well from the sun.
