   Rodial comes out with Arm Sculpt, meant to give women toned arms like Michelle Obama’s

Much ink, digital and otherwise, has been spent on writing about First Lady Michelle Obama’s toned arms and, most importantly, on how much time she spends working out to keep them that way. Rodial is now saying women all over the world get their arms just as toned – and they don’t even have to lift a finger.

After a survey conducted on women in the UK and showing that most of them look at the arms to tell another’s age, Rodial came up with Arm Sculpt, a cream that destroys fatty cells and gets rid of bingo wings, Express informs.

Such a cream is a must-have for any woman past a certain age, because the same survey showed that a whopping 73 percent of respondents “hated” their bingo wings.

So, with Arm Sculpt, which is applied twice a day on the problem area, they will no longer have reasons to hate parts of their body.

“Trials reportedly showed that in just 56 days, users lost nearly an inch from their arms and 22 per cent of their fat was dispersed,” Express writes of the effects of the new product.

“Skin roughness was also said to be reduced by 43 per cent and elasticity was up by 35 per cent. It is described as ‘a revolutionary dual-action formula’ containing a powerful combination of multi-fruit acids to re-texture and smooth the skin, while caffeine and coenzyme-A sculpt the upper arms,” says the same publication.

According to Rodial founder Maria Hatzistefanis, the new cream does more than just rid of bingo wings by destroying fat cells, because it also prevents the skin from ageing.

“We were ­frequently asked if we could devise an antidote to sagging, ageing skin on the upper arm. We discovered that the majority of women are unhappy with the appearance of their arms and struggle to achieve the toned, youthful appearance they desire,” she says in a statement.

“So we created a product to offer a solution to the curse of bingo wings and hyper­keratosis – an ageing condition which every woman will experience, some sadly earlier than others,” she adds.

Of course, those not interested in paying money for toned, non-saggy arms can also consider the actual method that Michelle Obama employs: a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, including some strength training for this very issue.
