Cellulite is a fairly common problem. Knowing how to take care of that problem is less commonly known, however. Let us make a few suggestions that may help you deal with your cellulite.
Cellulite is nothing more than normal fat beneath the skin. Its defining characteristic is the uneven lumpy appearance it causes to the skin. This is caused by the fat pushing against connective tissue. Anyone can develop cellulite, from thin to normal to heavy people. Even so, heavier people may be able to reduce or eliminate its appearance by losing weight.
There are several approaches that people use to battle this unsightly condition. Here are a few you may find interesting.
Moisturize
Make sure to moisturize your skin as part of a daily routine. Keeping your skin moisturized is great idea for a lot of reasons, but it is reported to help combat cellulite. Massage any problem areas gently as you apply the lotion. This will break down some fatty deposits.
Green Tea
Green tea is good to drink when you are trying to get rid of cellulite, helping to break down fat deposits. This will lead to less noticeable cellulite. You could also try using green tea capsules to help boost the effects.
Eat Right
You can help to avoid the appearance of cellulite by eating right. Eating high-fiber foods and whole grains can help remove toxins in your body that worsen the appearance of cellulite. Drinking adequate water as well as eating a healthy diet can also rid your body of these toxins.
Eating the right foods is a great way to eliminate and prevent any cellulite from forming. Foods with lots of lecithin are also great for fighting cellulite. Foods that contain lecithin are eggs, lettuce, eggs, lettuce and spinach. Avoid foods that are high in fat when combating cellulite.
Hydrate
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of liquids and eating foods that contain healthy oils. Why is this important? Hydrated skin shows less dimpling. This is a simple way of conquering your condition.
Avoid Stress
Although this is sometimes easier said than done, the benefits are far-reaching. Not only can it lower your blood pressure and clear your mind, you would produce less cortisol when you are less stressed. When you feel lots of stress, the “stress hormone” cortisol is released into your body. This is a hormone that boosts fat storage and can increase your body fat. Meditation and yoga are great for relieving the stress you are dealing with.
Home Remedy Cream
Many creams can be found on the market that claim to reduce cellulite. Experts dispute these claims for many of the creams, especially those that contain aminophylline, a prescription drug used to the treatment of asthma. This makes home remedy creams a safer experiment.
Make your own anti-cellulite cream using brown sugar, olive oil, and a bit of brown sugar. Scrub and massage it in before rinsing it off using warm water. This has been reported to keep skin moist and help prevent cellulite.
Natural Mask
You can minimize the look of cellulite by getting a tan. Tanning does not eliminate the condition, but it will help mask it. Dark skin displays the contrasts and shadows of cellulite a lot less than lighter skin. Too much sun exposure is not recommended, so if you are tanning in the sun, be sure to use sufficient tanning lotion. Spray tans or tanning booths are effective alternatives to harmful sun exposure, but be sure to follow the recommended safety protocols for those methods, as well.
Body Brush
A body brush is often used by those trying to reduce their cellulite. The brushing stimulates blood circulation and improves your lymphatic movement, and has the additional benefit of removing your dead skin cells. Doing it twice daily and incorporating long strokes is the combination most effective for optimal results.
Massage
Do you want some long-lasting results for eliminating cellulite for good? A massage can be a great way to make lumpy thighs appear tighter. Whether your partner gives you a massage or you have a spa day, you will see results for days.
