Body Firming

Any questions?

Our experts have the answer

Firm skin is a reflection of overall skin health. For those who prefer a velvety, cream-based texture, a body firming lotion like our Body Firming Extra-Firming Cream provides 48-hour hydration while instantly smoothing skin texture.

If you are seeking to improve skin elasticity and prevent the appearance of stretch marks, a firming body oil is an essential addition to your routine. Our Tonic Body Treatment Oil uses Rosemary and Mint to tone the skin’s tissues.

How to prevent and remove stretch marks?

The best way to prevent or get rid of stretch marks is by adopting a regular body care routine involving body-firming products with high-performing ingredients that stimulate cell renewal and tighten the skin to ultimately improve skin density. The Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert is a great non-invasive way to remove stretch marks, thanks to Clarins’ exclusive PhytoStretchComplex, a firming blend of Organic Green Banana, Hazelnut and Centella Asiatica extracts.

How to apply Body Firming products

To maximise the lifting effects of your products, the Clarins "Self-Massage" method is key:

Exfoliate: Use the Exfoliating Body Scrub once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells, allowing your firming body lotion to penetrate more effectively.

Warm the Product: Rub a small amount of your chosen body firming oil or cream between your palms to bring it to body temperature.

Apply: Smooth the product onto the skin using upward motions, starting from the ankles and moving toward the waist, and from the wrists toward the shoulders.

Targeted Pressure: For areas prone to sagging, like the inner thighs or abdomen, use firm, circular "draining" pressures with your palms.

Which is better for sagging skin: a lotion or an oil?

Both serve unique purposes. A firming body lotion is excellent for immediate smoothing and surface-level tightening, making it ideal for daily use. A body firming oil, like our Tonic Body Treatment Oil, works deeper to improve skin elasticity and density. For the best results in treating sagging skin, we recommend using both as part of a layered body care routine.

Can I use body firming products during pregnancy?

Yes, our Tonic Body Treatment Oil is a cult favourite for expectant mothers to help prevent stretch marks and maintain skin firmness. We also recommend the Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert, which is specifically tested for safety and efficacy during and after pregnancy. Find these 2 products in our Beautiful Pregnancy Set designed for expecting mothers.

Where should I focus my application of body firming products?

While you can use them all over, you should focus on "slack" areas that lose elasticity more quickly, such as the inner arms, the abdomen, the buttocks, and the décolleté. Using a targeted body firming oil in these areas can help maintain a more sculpted appearance.
