It involves a series of tapping movements over the skin, designed to boost circulation, loosen fat deposits and help any products penetrate deeper. ‘Using the outer sides of your hand (your little finger side), tap along the surface of the target area with your fingers loose, then cup your hand slightly and tap over the skin again,’ says Lucy Vose, training manager of the Skincare Sanctuary in London. Next, apply an anti-cellulite product to help tone the skin. Try Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil.
