We're officially counting down to summer and we're ready to put an end to the nightmare of localized fat. So get ready to roll up your sleeves (without fear!) and take care of your body with natural products and the right techniques that will make you feel lighter and more energized, and with firmer, more toned skin.
What is localized fat?
Basically, it's the accumulation of fat in certain areas of the body (the dangerous areas such as the buttocks, belly, arms and waist) caused by an increase in the volume of fat cells rather than a multiplication in their number. In other words, we all have a certain number of fat cells that remain relatively constant, but sometimes, due to certain factors, they get out of control, increase in size and become visible on the skin, causing unsightly cellulite and orange peel skin.
Localized fat is not necessarily linked to weight gain, but rather to biological factors (such as genetics and the hormonal factor) which make it easier for us to store excess fat in specific areas of the body. Some factors to bear in mind:
- lack of sleep which affects our metabolism, making it easier to accumulate fat
- stress, as cortisol also affects our metabolism
- hormonal imbalances, which can affect the growth of fat cells
How to fight localized fat
First of all, by looking at the problem holistically, as a whole, in which everything collaborates and interacts in our organism so that we are in balance (or not).
Once you're aware that you can't tackle the problem on one front, start by drinking plenty of water. Water plays an important role in metabolizing food, and our bodies can't properly metabolize stored fat or carbohydrates if we don't drink enough water every day. It's also important not to forget that the first step in lipolysis (the process of metabolizing fat) is hydrolysis, which occurs when water molecules interact with triglycerides (fats). So: water, water and more water.
But there's more. Balanced nutrition and adequate physical exercise to activate the metabolism are also key to tackling the problem.
Beautiful and light for the summer
Localized fat doesn't disappear instantly, but adopting a healthy lifestyle, taking care of your body with the right tools and products and helping with the detoxification process, cleansing your system from the inside out, will help you reset.

Another way to get summer ready is to do lymphatic drainage consistently. To do this, discover the power of Gua Sha to tone the body and shape the silhouette, and use it with our Firming Oil for really effective lymphatic drainage. O Gua Sha body (and the Gua Sha mushroom, in Jade) is the perfect shaping tool for lymphatic drainage at home and to help fight localized fat. Made of 100% white quartz, the crystal of purification and detox, it has been specifically designed to smooth, smooth, tone, sculpt and drain. The advantage of this Gua Sha is that it has several surfaces with different textures and shapes so that it adapts more easily to different parts of the body. For this wonderful tool to glide more easily across the skin, there's nothing better than firm oil. As well as making massage easier, this 100% natural slimming oil will reshape, tone and smooth the skin on your body. Through massage, it will activate lymphatic drainage, help eliminate fluid retention and toxins, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
