Celeb Fave: Spong Skincare

I have the worst knots in my leg (thank you bad posture!). Unfortunately getting them out takes either deep tissue massages or my trainer rolling them out with a roller — both of those solutions leave me sweating bullets and completely bruised (not sexy!). Of course I would love a pain-free solution to get rid of my knots, so I was intrigued when I heard that Scarlett Johansson was a fan of a product called Jambes Lourdes Anti-Fatigue Leg Cream ($110) from Sponge Skincare (a line developed by an OB/GYN in Greece), to sooth her tired legs. The cream is made with “the rare herb mastic’s healing properties along with calendula and sage to rejuvenate the skin, helping to reinforce vascular circulation and promote muscular relief.” I’ve been using this on my legs for the last two weeks and while I’ve still had to get my legs rolled-out, my trainer noticed that my applying this cream post-hot shower helped reduce some of the swelling and knots around my knees. Very little of the cream is required (it’s very greasy and light), and it has a long-lasting moisture. The scent is very soothing as well so it has helped ease me into sleep (that said it’s a very, very distinctive and long-lasting smell so make sure to sniff before you buy!).
