Thigh Creams

If you suffer from cellulite, you’ve probably been tempted to buy one of those thigh creams, also known as cellulite creams, toning creams, or firming creams. Most firming products contain one or more ingredients such as caffeine, or algae extracts, which femporarily tighten the skin, thus making your thighs appear more toned and your cellulite appear less obvious.

While some products claim that regular use can permanently tone thighs, I know no skin-care expert or dermatologist who agrees with this. You can expect results to last from 4 to 12 hours. Note that these creams are not for the thighs only - all can be used any place where skin is dimpled or slack, including the hips, buttocks, tummy, breasts, and upper arms.

In the United States, endermologie was the ftrst medical treatment for cellulite to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Decolletage Creams

On your next trip to a spa, cosmetic boutique, or department store, you may encounter a decolletage cream - also known as bust cream or breast cream. As its name implies, this product is for the chest and breasts. But what exactly does it do?

These creams moisturize and temporarily tighten the skin. There are parts of the world where no well-tended woman is without her bust cream - but as far as I can tell, I am not living in one of those places. Instead, I use the same products on my chest that I use on my face; other women use body lotion of various intensities, or even thigh-toning cream.

While makers of some decolletage creams claim that regular use can permanently boost your bust, this is another beauty world fallacy ­ the truth is that a decolletage cream’s effects last from 4 to 12 hours.
