Give your body a jump start on health and wellness this Spring with a wonderful assortment of body smoothing & toning products from Clarins.
As I sit outside writing this post on a beautiful balmy Spring day in SoCal, I am hyper-aware that with the weather getting warmer, it is time for us to come out of our hibernation mode and start getting our bodies back on the wellness track and into better shape. What I mean by this is that we need to make a conscious effort to eat cleaner and detox the winter sludge, up our activity levels and focus our efforts on toning our body so that it looks it’s best during the more skin baring months. And while changing our lifestyle habits is more than half of the battle, using a few key body transforming beauty products can further enhance and support our health and wellness efforts.
Many of you are probably aware of the iconic and trusted French beauty brand Clarins, however I am not sure if you also know that Clarins is the number one Cellulite and Firming Beauty Brand in the United States! So given their trusted expertise in this niche, it is no surprise that they make some of the best body shaping and toning products on the beauty landscape. So just in time for the Spring/Summer season, I am sharing my favorite Clarins body toning products with you as well as sharing my new Body Toning Clarins Beauty Ritual and telling you what I am doing to look smoother and healthier this Spring.
Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Expert ($70) This product is based on 60 years of contouring expertise and is the cornerstone product in any Clarins Body Toning Regimen. This innovative body treatment helps reduce the look of cellulite with targeted refining and reshaping actions. It is formulated with 8 targeted plant extracts including organic Quince Leaf, which all work synergistically together to help smooth and reduce the appearance of cellulite, visibly firm, lift and hydrate your skin, and visibly contour and refine your hips and thighs.
I am OBSESSED with this product!!! I absolutely love the refreshing and cooling pink gel cream formula (great for summer too!) that instantly absorbs into your skin and noticeably softens and smooths the skin’s surface. This product smells fresh and Springy and I love how it invigorates my skin and minimizes flaws – it’s definitely a must have for women like me who are 40 plus and are looking for ways to firm their skin and make it look younger.
Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate ($29) This concentrated body cleansing treatment detoxes and cleans your body with the aromatic scents of rosemary, mint and geranium. It also contains the extracts of gentian and pine to cleanse, detox and refine your skin. What I love most about the Tonic Concentrate is that it turns your bath or shower into a spa treatment! The gorgeous scent makes you feel like you are in luxurious French Spa and the refreshing slight tingling/cooling sensation makes it seem like you are getting a pampering spa treatment in the comfort of your own home.
Exfoliating Body Scrub For Smooth Skin ($38) This heavenly smelling refreshing exfoliating treatment is the perfect way to prep your skin for the Clarins toning and contouring products. It contains natural bamboo powders to remove rough, flaky surface cells and impurities as well as the extracts of mimosa and shea to hydrate and and soften your skin. I really like the whipped texture and small size of the polishing beads that gently yet thoroughly remove dry skin and leave your body soft, smooth and ready for treatment.
Tonic Body Treatment Oil ($64) I have been using this addictive toning and firming body oil for years because it’s that good! It is made of highly moisturizing hazelnut oil combined with 100% pure plant extracts including rosemary, geranium and mint which all together are an addictive and heavenly smelling combo. This swoon worthy oil firms, tones and improves elasticity and is a must have for women in their 40’s. I love the gorgeous aromatic scent and how it visibly softens and smooths my skin. Definitely a fav!
Here’s my Spring Into Wellness Clarins Body Toning Ritual:
-Step into a steamy hot shower and slather your body in the Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate. Take a few moments to drink in this refreshing aromatic aroma. Notice how fresh and clean your skin feels
–After cleansing, use the Exfoliating Body Scrub once or twice a week to remove dry skin and prep your skin for the Clarins Body Toning Treatments. Apply the scrub to damp skin, concentrating on areas of extreme dryness like elbows, knees and heels. Notice how soft, smooth and refined your skin feels after using this fabulous scrub
-After your skin is clean and prepped for your toning ritual, first use Clarins Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Expert to tone, refresh and tighten your skin then wait a few moments for it to fully absorb and follow it up with the Tonic Body Oil to seal in the treatment and give your body a firming aromatic dose of hydration! If you prefer a lighter treatment, you can use the Body Fit alone after cleansing and/or exfoliation

I would change my muscle tone. It has decreased with age.
I wish for a longer short waist!
Most of my life, I have always had a flat stomach. Once I turned 42, my stomach wasn’t so flat anymore. I cant blame it on my age. Had I stayed away from certain foods & kept on exercising, I probably wouldn’t be complaining right now…. however I am working on it.
I could afford to lose some weight.

I would like to slough this old skin and morph back into a young woman again. I would want my older brain left though. Why? Because I would not have old age aches and pains.
Would love to get rid of my pouch in my lower abs. I had 3 babies and I can’t get rid of it!
I would love to lose this little bit of extra baby weight. I’m just not motivated enough to work it off right now.

I was born with a turkey wattle and it bugs me. I think surgery would be the only answer.

I would get rid of my stomach fat and stretch marks, I don’t like the way I look all the time.
I really wish that I could get rid of my tummy. I’ve had 3 children, am in my mid-50s, and exercise daily. I can feel the muscles underneath and yet there is some flab. No tummy tucks for me, though. Lol.
I would love to lose about 20 pounds because this is the heaviest I have ever been!
I would like to get rid of some wrinkles and sun damage on my face and hands and I would love to be taller. I always regretted staying in the sun too long as a teenager.
Being a pre-med chem. student, I am constantly hunched over books. To be able to effortlessly stand with a straight back would be incredible!
P.S. The new website is looking great!! I love it 🙂
I dislike my stretch-marks/cellulite. It ruins bikini season for me.
I also want to lose weight on my arms and other trouble areas, because prom is coming up soon!
Having dry skin and stretch marks from my last pregnancy in my belly.
I would get rid of my belly fat!
I would like to have more muscle tone because it is both attractive and functional. I’ve been working on it. One of the areas that particularly bothers me is my underarm area (triceps) they’ve improved some but they’re still wobbly.
I just wish my body was more flexible. It would be nice if I could move easier!
I would love to be taller.
I would love to change my lower stomach! Ever since I had my hysterectomy, there is a pocket of flab that I can’t do anything with. It makes me so subconscious!
I can exercise and tone my body more but I’d love to not have such broad shoulders and wide feet. Unfortunately I can’t change those two things.
The only thing that I worry about are my thighs. Ive worked hard to eat right and exercise, but that one spot is my trouble area.
I would like to change my dry skin because I always get small bumps on my face for being dry.
I would love to lessen my stretch marks. Not much I can do about that.
I have tried the body oil. It’s amazing! I raved to all my friends about it, but I don’t know if I can spend the money for it again! my sister and I bought it together before, so didn’t seem like much. I live on my own now, so I have to buy it by myself haha. Hope I win this so I don’t have to break the bank, but still get to try the rest of the company’s products 🙂
I’d get rid of my spider veins
I’ve always wanted to have amazing calves.
I would love for my body to be better toned. I know if I just put in a little effort I can make this happen.
I’d love to get rid of my belly!
I wish I had better hair, I have always hated my hair.
I’d like to change my stomach and get it in shape – because my clothes fit ugly. Working on it though…
I’d love to firm up the underside of my baggy upper arms, smooth out some bumps on my hips.
I would love to lose weight. I had stayed at 140 lbs until I had a brain enuryism and surgery. I still had severe headaches for 5 years and could only eat and sleep. I gained over 60 lbs.
I would change the shape of my body — I have heavy butt and thighs.
I would only like to change the few dark spots I have from the Arizona sun!
I hate my muffin top, and belly. I’ve tried to lose it, but after 2 children, it’s not easy to lose.
I wish I was taller! 😀
If it can happen, I’d like to have healthy hair that is more manageable and doesn’t frizz nor break. It will make getting ready so much easier because I’ll spend less time taming my unruly and fragile hair.
I would love to be a few inches taller. I am only 5 ft. and I always have to get my slacks and long dresses shortened.
I would change dry skin and cellulite on thigh area.
I would prefer to not have mild rosacea.
If I could wave a magic wand and have any wish granted about my body it would be – give me my 22 year old body back!
I had gastric bypass surgery done 20 years ago and lost about 200 pounds. Would love to get rid of all my saggy baggy skin.
I would love if my skin was less sensitive. I sometimes have a hard time finding products that will work for me.
One thing I would change about my body would probably be my stretch marks and cellulite on my butt, underneath it, and that under thigh area. It’s bothersome to me because I wish it was smooth and mark free.
I’d love to change all the cellulite i have. It looks awful, very slef-concious!
