Mio’s Shrink To Fit Cellulite Smoother review

I have tried so many cellulite creams over the years that I have lost count. I have never really been impressed with any of them. That’s until I discovered Mio Skincare’s Shrink To Fit Cellulite Smoother.

Here is Mio’s video that tell you a bit more about the cream.

I’m going to be honest, I am not really interested in what goes into a product like this. As long as it doesn’t contain any nasty ingredients and as long as it works, I’m happy. With Mio, I am confident that both those boxes are ticked. If you want to know more though, click HERE.

I have been using Shrink To Fit for almost a month now and I am dreading that final pump of the bottle. I have really been enjoying this cream. It has a brilliant cooling effect on the skin that I find extremely refreshing. I did try it once during the colder months and then I packed it away; it was a bit much for me during winter. I have heard comments that it is a bit hard to work the product into the skin, but I find it quite easy and quick. I’ve had to work a lot harder with other creams that I have tried. My skin feels smooth and nourished when applied.

Most important question… DOES IT WORK?! Yes, it does help. It is important to realise that there is no magic cream or potion that is going to make your fat just disappear. You need to eat healthy, drink lots of water and exercise. If you do that and combine it with Shrink To Fit (and the tips and tricks that come along with it), you will see results. You need to commit.

My skin appears smoother and the lumps and bumps are less. I am still far from cellulite free, but Skrink To Fit has most definitely helped.

I am extremely impressed with this product and with the brand and if you haven’t had the chance to try a Mio product yet, I strongly suggest that you do. You can have a look at my other posts about the brand HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. After my positive experience with Shrink To Fit, I am very keen try a combination of Skin Tight and Get Waisted (on recommendation from Poise Brands) to get my tummy in the best shape it has ever been.

The Shrink To Fit cellulite smoother retails for R780 for 100ml. Click HERE to find a stockist.

I tried Mio’s Get Waisted Tummy Sculpting Treatment

I’m not going to say no when an opportunity like this one comes a knockin’! Earlier this month got to try Mio’s Get Waisted Treatment at Mommy Wellness in Durbanville.

‘If exercise and diet alone are not giving you the firm, taut tum you want, you need to Get Waisted™. In an hour your tummy will feel slimmer, tighter, more toned and less bloated. Powerful actives will increase the energy within your skin and our special Mio massage techniques will firm and re-sculpt, reducing wobble and love handles.’

Nicolle from Mommy Wellness was gracious enough to ‘spell it out’ for us:

‘I started off with the exfoliation – to prepare the skin for maximum absorption, stimulate circulation and soften and smooth the skin:

Double Buff – Contains pumice and micro volcanic lava, to give a super-even exfoliation without scratching the skin; pineapple and papaya enzymes dissolve any roughness and even out skin tone, and organic shea butter provides essential moisture and vitamins. 

20% Fruit acid Peel – This is what gave you some tingling… for that extra dead skin and oil removal.

 (…FYI – more recent Mio Get Waisted treatments in salon will use ‘Triple Buff’, which contains a combination of the Double buff and the 20% Glycolic acid, performing the same action in one step instead of two.)

After removing the exfoliant and neutrilising the peel, I applied the Get Waisted product, followed by the massage. The massage stimulates the colon, increases circulation, lymphatic drainage and aids break down of toxins.

Get Waisted – Contains extracts of laminaria digitata (brown seaweed), red algae and rock samphire which are all highly detoxifying – elimating puffiness and recontouring the waist.   Adipoless and Adiposlim (TM) both boost fat burning and inhibit future fat storage.  Oat protein complex provides natural moisturisers and antioxidants.

OMega Massage Oil – Safflower, jojoba and sweet almond oils are all rich in omegas and are extremely moisturising and nourishing to the skin.  It is quickly absorbed, leaving the skin soft, strengthened and protected with tocopheral/vitamin E, an effective natural antioxidant.

After another quick application of Get Waisted, I applied the Alginate rubberising mask.  The mask is rich in laminaria digitata, guarana and horsetail extract – all proven to detoxify, slim and tighten, tone and firm the skin.  By rubberising, the mask literally pushes active ingredients already applied deeper into the skin.

After removing the mask after a few minutes to allow it to set, I applied Skin Tight, followed by the final application of Get Waisted.

Skin Tight – Contains papaya and pomegranate extracts to remove dead skin cells, even out pigmentation, rejuvenate and fight against photo-aging.  Skin is left smooth, supple and looking fresh and glowing.  Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant and plumps up the skin giving bounce and deep moisture.  Great to use all over as a serum – aged, crepey skin on the face, knees, arms, thighs…’ (I have to try Skin Tight!!)

I was a bit nervous about this treatment because, well, someone would be massaging my fat stomach! But my therapist was great. She made me feel extremely comfortable and explained the whole process step by step. Surprisingly, the treatment was actually quite relaxing and enjoyable… not exactly what I was expecting. All the Mio products of course felt great on my skin and smelled divine. I am falling more and more in love with this brand. See previous reviews HERE, HERE and HERE.

After the treatment my tummy felt (and looked) a little tighter and a lot less bloated. And my skin felt amazing! I think a series of these treatments would complement weight loss efforts and exercise very well and the end result will be a sexy, flat tummy.

This treatment will set you back R700 at Mommy Wellness.

Thanks for the treat Mio!
