First of all, Aude Tixeront recommends the use of freshness gel with almond. This “makes the legs feel a little lighter instantly.” The one shown in the video is equipped with massaging balls. To apply it, it is advisable to start with the ankles and then move up towards the thighs. “You can apply this in the morning, during the day or at the end of the day if you suffer from heavy legs. It’s super effective,” she emphasizes.

Put on support stockings

The second essential concerns prevention: it is about putting in place support stockings. If you think about it for flying, it can be just as effective when you stay at home, for example, on a computer all day. “We put on support stockings as soon as we wake up so that they work and we wear them throughout the day to have lighter legs,” she adds.

Take a foot bath

The third essential for the journalist is to be applied at the end of the day, “when you really feel the weight is in the lower body.” At this point, Aude Tixeront recommends doing a foot bath by adding coarse salt, a few drops of peppermint and lavender essential oil.

It lightens the mind, but also the legs.”
