Women of different ages and weights know firsthand about cellulite. It is a mistaken opinion that it can affect the legs and thighs of plump ladies. It turns out that quite young, slender and fit girls, no, no, and even detect its signs on their bodies. Often many reach the third stage, and only then the fight against cellulite begins. At home, it is recommended to solve this problem with an integrated approach. This will include anti-cellulite baths, scrubs, wraps and self-massage.
What is cellulite?
As they say, you need to know the enemy by sight. If you discard the complex medical terminology, then everything becomes absolutely clear and simple. If we talk about the visual manifestation of this disease, then these are tubercles and pits, which in the first and second stages are noticeable only when the skin is squeezed, and in the third and fourth stages they are visible and palpable to the touch without any mechanical influence. And from the inside? Cellulite is an accumulation of fat, which is enclosed in capsules with dense walls. Due to its impermeability, the shell does not allow fat to “melt” during physical activity and does not allow oxygen, which burns fat, to enter. Accordingly, at home and in medical institutions it comes down to one thing: destroy the walls of the capsule and remove subcutaneous fat.
Treating cellulite at home is a labor-intensive and lengthy process. Many salons promise to rid their clients of hated bumps in a few procedures. What is promised and what is received do not always coincide due to the individuality of each organism. Moreover, treatment in salons is not a cheap pleasure. Therefore, you should be patient, and the fight against cellulite at home will bear fruit within a month. As already mentioned, therapy should be comprehensive, aimed not only at reducing visual manifestations, but also at eliminating internal problems. The following will help with this:
- balanced healthy diet;
- physical activity;
- anti-cellulite scrubs and wraps;
- massage.
Nutrition
Poor nutrition is one of the three pillars that cause cellulite. Many women make the mistake of occasionally torturing themselves with express diets that promise to help you lose 10 kg in 5 days. Remember: the slower you lose weight, the more sustainable the result. By returning to your normal diet, you will quickly regain the lost kilos with interest. Therefore, fasting, diets and fasting days must be replaced with a balanced healthy diet.
Physical activity
Playing sports helps tone muscles, but they are not. Photos of athletic girls, of course, confirm the opposite, but do not forget that they achieved their goal with the help of sports nutrition and many years of training. Morning jogging, fitness and the gym will help you fight the causes of cellulite, and this is also important.
Anti-cellulite procedures
What is the fight against cellulite at home without wraps and scrubs? These procedures help saturate the skin and subcutaneous layer with oxygen and beneficial enzymes that effectively fight “orange peel”, activate blood flow and lymph outflow, remove excess fluid and break down fats.
- A scrub is necessary to remove dead skin cells and open pores. It is recommended to use it immediately before wraps. It’s better to cook it yourself, especially since it doesn’t require any special ingredients. To do this, take honey, ground coffee, sea salt and essential oils with anti-cellulite effect.
- Wraps are one of the most affordable, effective and enjoyable methods of combating cellulite. To prepare the mixture you will need honey, coffee, salt, ground red pepper, cinnamon, clay, and essential oils. It is not at all necessary to use all the ingredients at once, but the main ones - honey, coffee and salt - should be present. After applying the mixture to problem areas, you need to wrap yourself in cling film and put on warm clothes. The duration of the procedure is 40-60 minutes, and they need to be repeated every other day for a month.
Massage
Mechanical action has always been considered a powerful tool in the fight against cellulite. Thanks to massage, the walls of the capsule weaken and collapse. Thus, the surface of the skin is smoothed and volumes are reduced. During a massage, it is recommended to use it, which you can also prepare yourself by mixing base fat and essential oils.
