To celebrate our recent launch at Ulta Beauty, we brought the VOESH community together in Santa Monica for an exclusive live masterclass with Flavia Lanini, the Brazilian-born body contouring and lymphatic massage expert trusted by celebrities including Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, and Kendall Jenner. From lymphatic massage techniques to body care rituals that support smoother-, firmer-looking skin, Flavia shared her go-to methods for getting more out of your routine with VOESH's Massage Roller Crèmes. Here are her exclusive tips, techniques, and insider tricks from the masterclass.
Can the Massage Roller Crèmes Help With Cellulite?
Yes—and the reason comes down to oxygen. Cellulite is partly the result of sluggish circulation and reduced oxygen delivery to the tissue beneath the skin. That's where Tone'd earns its name: its caffeine content promotes blood flow and helps oxygenate the skin, directly targeting what makes cellulite appear in the first place. Consistent use is the move here. Caffeine works best when it's a daily habit, not an occasional treatment.
Where on the Body Can You Use the Massage Roller Crèmes?
Anywhere from the neck down, such as arms, legs, stomach, glutes, and back. Tone'd and Smooth'd can also be layered with other body care products in your routine without issue. For anyone focused on the ankles, athletes especially, Flavia recommends working just above the joint, rolling back and forth rather than directly over it.
Is There a Best Time of Day to Massage?
For professional lymphatic drainage appointments, daytime is recommended. It supports recovery without disrupting sleep. At home, Flavia's preference is right after the shower: skin is warm, pores are open, and product absorbs better.
Do You Need to "Open" Your Lymph Nodes First?
This one's all over TikTok, and Flavia shut it down: your lymph nodes are never closed. "Activating" them is a myth. The lymphatic system is always working. What massage does is enhance its natural flow, not unlock something dormant. Skip the extra prep step and put that energy into the massage itself.
Can You Massage for Too Long?
Surprisingly, yes. Sessions longer than 20 minutes can backfire, causing inflammation and skin redness the next day. The goal is focused and intentional, not a marathon. A consistent shorter session will always outperform an occasional long one.
Does It Help With Digestion?
The caffeine in Tone’d and Smooth'd supports blood flow throughout the body—and better circulation aids digestive function. It's not a digestive treatment, but it's a nice added benefit of keeping the ritual going daily.
Do You Need to Drink a Lot of Water Before or After?
It's not required, but hydrated skin responds better and holds results longer. Think of it as an amplifier rather than a rule. Drink water because it's good for you, not because you have to in order for the massage to work.
Can You Use Tone’d and Smooth’d Every Day?
Yes, and you should. Daily use is safe and—more importantly — it's the whole point. K-Beauty body care is built on the idea that consistent ritual outperforms any single treatment. Best results are seen with frequent use.
How Do You Make Results Last?
Consistency. That's it. There's no shortcut that replaces showing up daily. Build Smooth'd or Tone'd into a routine you already have—post-shower, post-workout, or even during your morning coffee—and the habit sticks. The longer you stay consistent, the more your skin reflects it.
Is It Safe During Pregnancy?
VOESH does not recommend Tone’d or Smooth'd during pregnancy due to its caffeine content. When in doubt, check with your healthcare provider before adding any new topical to your routine.
Better skin doesn't require a spa budget or a celebrity's schedule—just the right products and the discipline to use them. Now you have both. The rest is up to you.
