What is the heavy legs effect?
The phenomenon of heavy legs is associated with venous insufficiency.
Especially in the summer, when the temperature rises, the veins dilate and the valves that prevent the blood from flowing down under the effect of gravity malfunction.
Résultat : le retour veineux vers le coeur n’est plus bien assuré et le sang stagne dans les jambes. Elles paraissent lourdes, gonflent et… aïe, on a mal ! Beaucoup de facteurs peuvent aussi aggraver ce phénomène comme le tabac, les hormones, la sédentarité, le surpoids ou simplement l’hérédité donc attention !
Pour pallier l’effet jambes lourdes, on préconise souvent l’eau fraîche en bain de pied et des vêtements pas trop serrés …
But when it happens to us in the workplace, these tips aren't necessarily the most useful. And @elsie_slvd_ knows a thing or two about it: constantly on her feet while working, Elsie suffers from painful edema on a daily basis. So she came up with the idea of a treatment to complement her support stockings. Together, we called it LEG IT GO (did you catch the pun?)
Its real plus: a fresh effect that soothes and active ingredients to boost circulation combined with moisturizing properties. No more sticky or drying sensation of the gels you can find on the market.
