Shh! Anti-agers no one but you need know about: Working from home has given me puffy ankles!
- An anonymous reader, 48, asked for advice on reviving their puffy ankles
- Inge van Lotringen said no cream or treatment can substitute for exercise
- British beauty expert suggests Legology Cellu-Lite Plan for leaner, shapelier legs
Q I’m 48 and am self-conscious about my legs: they feel heavier and my ankles are looking bigger. I’ve been going for walks, but I do spend a lot of time sitting down as I’m working from home. Can any products revive them?
A I have puffy, sometimes sore legs as well and I can tell you that no cream or treatment can substitute for regular exercise to make them look and feel much better — stick to those walks and challenge yourself by picking up the pace.

To further relieve fluid retention, lie on you back with your legs up against a wall for ten minutes whenever you can: it makes a big difference. I also really like the Legology Cellu-Lite Plan (legology.co.uk), which helps you commit to the three things proven to give you leaner, shapelier legs and even improve cellulite (mainly caused by bad circulation and ineffective lymph drainage): body brushing, massage and movement. All increase blood and nutrient flow and drain stagnant lymph fluids.
Subscribe from £52.91 a month and you will be kept topped up with the brand’s circulation-boosting Cellu-Lite massage oil and fluid-draining Air-Lite cream (£62.50 and £45 as one-off purchases).
It comes with access to a members’ area packed with lifestyle and nutrition tips. It is a no-nonsense, grown-up system by an industry insider who has seen and done it all and who knows what works.
