I have not won genetic lottery when it comes to cellulite and as a matter of fact the total opposite. The first signs definitely came around the time I was at University and looking at my mum and my sister it is something that just runs in our family. As a beauty and self-care fan I have always researched so much about different skin, hair and fitness topics. I have always been active and tried different workouts, diets and wellness trends but cellulite is sadly part of many women’s lives including mine. I have tried different creams and dry body brushing and so far the only product that I feel helps is Guam mud wrap. It is highly popular amongst Czech women and I have heard positive feedback from some women I know in Italy too.

However, as we know cellulite can be reduced and we can make it appear less prominent but will not go away fully. I am 44 years old and my workout routine currently has in the last two years been at least 4 workouts a week and that is usually two pilates sessions or reformer pilates and 2 strength workouts. And I do low intensity cardio which is at least 10 000 steps daily as a minimum. I will not bore you with information about what cellulite is as there are so many articles online about why it exists and why it is an issue for so many females. So let’s talk how effective was Icoone laser.

I have seen some very positive results online with Icoone laser and despite the price I wanted to try as some of the before and after were outstanding. It is not the cheapest as to see the results you need to take several treatments. The ideal amount is 10 but lot of women have seen results after 5 or 6 treatment including myself. I have found the clinic called Oblique in South Kensington and I love everything about this place. I simply came across them by searching specifically this treatment and couldn’t be happier with the staff, the atmosphere and I can highly recommend to try this particular place.

I have done around 8 sessions of Icoone and in a nutshell it is not primarily a machine for cellulite but the robotic microstimulation, low level laser and LED works really well. This combination helps your lymphatic drainage, improve collagen production so as a result you are less puffy, skin appears tighter which ultimately helps the appearance of cellulite. I am going to be fully transparent that I was terrified to even take before and after photos but I have seen improvements especially at the back of my thighs. The bum area still needs a lot of work and I am planning to try RF next time and perhaps mix Icoone laser with this treatment next summer.

However, I have noticed that Icoone helped me to really shape certain areas. I have seen my legs and buttocks appear smaller and the clothes just started to fit better. I believe this may be due to improving my lymphatic drainage. And a huge plus for me that I find the treatment so relaxing. I started the treatment with the trial which is only 30 minutes and when I saw the results I moved to 40 minutes and later even 50 minutes session. Each time I was looking forward the treatment as immediately I looked and felt lighter even abdominal area and it was such a good addition to my overall wellness and workout routine.

My therapist Tatiana was excellent and really knowledgeable and thanks to her I am now keen to try the combination of RF which could help more with the fat deposits and removing dimples.

I will definitely be back for this and more treatments and hopefully you will find this useful when deciding whether to try Icoone laser for yourself.

BEAUTY HACKS FOR HOT GIRL SUMMER

Beauty hacks for hot girl summer

March is here and we are just months away from living our best lives on holidays, sipping chilled wine by the pool and soaking in sunshine whilst looking our best. My Tiktok feed is full of calorie deficit tips, workouts, motivation videos but not so much about beauty tools and care we can do now to look fabulous this summer.

My first tip is to invest into good home device for hair removal. I am rooting for this Silk’n 7 gold . I am doing laser hair removal on some parts in the salon but I am using this on my legs mainly. You will see first results in 2 weeks and your hair will grow less by more than 90 %. I find it fantastic that you can just put so much less into maintenance during summer months. It is so easy to use and works magic.

You know I am a lover of my Currentbody LED Masks and now I have invested in the Series 2 which is stronger, fits better on my face and I am using it at least 3 times a week. I have a running discount code EVA10 for any Currentbody products.

I was also very curious about the Currentbody RF device. I heard so much about Radio Frequency so wanted to try for myself. And it works wonders. I feel it is really helping saggy skin. I focus a lot on my neck which is an area where women see signs of ageing quite early on. You can use the same discount code EVA10.

And of course I cannot forget my ZIIP Halo. I have been using this consistently for almost 2 years and it is worth every penny. It lifts your face instantly as well as works so fantastic on fine lines. You can also use my discount code EVAZIIP.

And of course do not forget other self-care if you can. I love doing facials, massages and move my body.

Oxygen amplified Facial by Element Eight in Harrods

As a skincare and facial lover I am always so happy if I get to try new treatments and treatments I have not tried before. Self-care is a big thing for me as I believe us women and men we deserve it. Life gets so busy and hectic and this is so important for our health and mental health a as sometimes it can be the only time when we can truly stop and enjoy the moment. In the recent years I feel people multi-task more and more from checking messages from school on your toilet break to doing LED masks whilst walking on the walking pad. There is simply not enough time to focus on just one thing. So facial and massage when you are just doing one thing are great way how to calm our body and mind.

This time I headed to Harrods to try Oxygen amplified facial with Element Eight. This is new skincare brand for me and after the facial I immediately included the Element Eight growth factor in my skincare routine which the facialist recommended. I felt during the facial my skin reacted so well to all products but I usually try only one product each time so I can eliminate easily in case of bad reaction.

All I can just say the treatment was a bliss. The brand offers patented liquid oxygen treatment which enables the skin to absorb their products in to deeper layers of skin. The whole facial combines machine as well as manual treatment. I personally love that as you get the best of both worlds and nothing beats a good facial massage done by hands. It is truly relaxing experience for me and I am sure for many others. During the treatment you will experience elements of cryotherapy, LED as well as oxygen infusion to skin. The combination of these together with the manual massage will enable the products get into deeper layers of the skin. You will be leaving the treatment relaxed and with glowy skin.

I have included here some of the brand’s most popular products so you can explore a bit more.

Beauty products to invest in this January

Winter arc trend has been all over my social media and simply people getting ready over late autumn and winter to look their best when the temperature is warmer and we show off those bodies we worked hard on. And there is no news that big part of self-care alongside training and diet is skincare and perhaps even style we do our makeup.

I have been so religious with using my Currentbody face mask and still have running code EVA10 for discount and also ZIIP halo (code EVAZIIP for discount) and I do not fail using them. However, I invested in few treatments like microneedling which I try to repeat every year.

As per skincare I am trying to stick to my never fail La Mer. It is simply skincare that agrees with me and my skin simply agrees with most of their products. I am very excited to try their new launch LaMer Night recovery concentrate which is their latest serum in mask innovation. And with the microneedling treatments this could be amazing combination right now.

There are many amazing products and I wanted to include several that I believe can make a difference. If you can I can highly recommend the Biodance over night mask for extra care in the winter months. Especially if you have any important events following day to boost hydration and overall look of your skin. And do not forget about lip care as Dr Dennis gross lip repair treatment will save the day.

And also do not forget to exfoliate and not just your face but your body and little self-tan never killed anybody either. I fell in love last year with brand Naturium and especially with their body care and looking to try their salicylic acid body wash and Retinol Body lotion.

So, let’s just glow, smell and glow together for miles.
