I dont have a lot of cellulite but I have a bit on the back of my thighs which i get paranoid about. I have used various creams/gels but haven't noticed much of a difference. I saw this Cellulite Mud Mask in boots and decided to give it a go. At £0.89p, it was well worth a try. The packaging stood out from the other masks they had on display and the fact that it said Cellulite Mud Mask in large lettering grabbed my attention. I have also seen this ...

...my favourite ranges in the Avon book. I particularly like this item as it's got a calming and soothing feeling on the skin and although it does contain chemicals (they nearly all do these days) it lets you feel as though your skin is being pampered by a lovely soothing massage.

...Instructions on the mask advised to massage mask in, then clingfilm and wrap for 0.5 hour. I found the mask to be very easy to apply. It has granules in it, which as you massage the mask into your skin, gives it a sort of mini exfoliation as well. The first time I clingfilmed my body, I asked my partner to do it for me which was rather helpful as you are able to get the wrap around quite snugly. When I tried to wrap the clingfilm myself the second ...
...As soon as you wrap the clingfilm, the skin becomes warm which I assume is quite important to the entire process. The difficulty for me when I applied the mask on my boobs and legs, was that you now have to stand up for 0.5 hour, which is rather inconvenient.
