StyleNest tried and tested Elemis’ Body Sculpting treatment. A simple way to tone and sculpt – perfect pre-holiday.

Elemis Body Sculpting Cellulite And Colon Therapy Treatment is a detoxifying treatment which promises to aid and cleanse the digestive system, and assist in the break down of fatty deposits.

We’ve all dreamt of a treatment that can shed the pounds in an instant, and we think we may have just found it.

The treatment begins with the all-important top to toe body brush followed by a thorough body scrub. Be warned: this isn’t a treatment for those of you after a relaxing pamper; this one means business.

Your therapist will vigorously massage (at times it may feel more like pounding) the fleshy parts of your thigh to boost circulation.

Next, a detoxifying fennel (known for its diuretic properties) and birch (to stimulate blood flow) peel-off body mask is applied to the legs and top of the thighs, drawing out any impurities to help firm and smooth the skin.

Now for the cleanse.  Working with your breathing pattern, the therapist massages around the stomach, starting at the base of the ascending colon and moving round clockwise, following the line of digestion.  The key to this part of the treatment lies in the breathing; pressure is only applied when you exhale, so you work with your therapist.  The abdominal massage is an important technique to detoxify the body.

Finally, the body mask is removed using Hot Lime Mitts before the Body Sculpting Firming Cream.

This really is a fantastic treatment to tone, smooth, and firm and results will be instantly noticeable; however for best results, a course is recommended rather than a one-off treatment.

Elemis Body Sculpting Cellulite and Colon Therapy Treatment costs £92 for one hour.
