Summer Is Almost Here!!

Bye Bye Cellulite With These Tips

It doesn’t matter the season, fighting cellulite is an ongoing project. Just as we look after other aspects of our health and beauty, such as exercising, eating healthy, brushing our teeth, so too fighting cellulite should be a daily habit.

There are a few tiny rules to know about smoothing cellulite:
~ Drink plenty of fluids, especially water
~ Exercise is essential for getting toned
~ Everybody has cellulite, even super models
~ The main idea is to plump up the skin and increase circulation
~ That you put onto your body is as important to what you put into it

Here’s what to do:

1-Before you take your morning shower, exfoliate the affected areas with products that have grit or sea salt in them. These products increase circulation while sloughing off older skin. Over time this leaves the skin smoother and improves the blood flow to the area when repeated regularly.

2-Get an anti-cellulite device to use in the shower. These are hand held and have rubber spikes or knobs on them which also stimulate circulation to the area.

3-Get Caffeinated. Use a lotion which contains natural plant sources of caffeine on a daily basis. Some people swear by ground coffee scrubs and compresses. Caffeine works in external applications by drawing fluids to the area, plumping it up and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Also, try lotions which promise to help tighten the skin, even if the effect is temporary.

4-Reduce intake of sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and dairy products. These can cause increases in certain hormones which will make the appearance of the condition worse.

5-Reduce stress, stress can aggravate the condition and cause spikes in cortisol levels which promote fat gain. A high stress lifestyle can also induce production of catecholamines which has been associated with cellulite.

6-Continue losing weight and try to maintain a steady healthy weight. Rapid changes in weight can loosen the skins bonds, which may worsen the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is a natural skin condition most prevalent in women. Everybody on earth suffers from it. Treatments can only lessen the appearance of the condition.

What is it? Between the dermis (skin) and the muscle is a layer of fat. This fat is essential for maintaining body temperature, when weight is at a normal level. However, the fat deposits are not distributed evenly. It is less apparent when the skin is tight, but if the skin becomes loose, such as after significant weight loss. There is no way to cure it. However, improving the hydration of the area, improving circulation to the area, and improving skin tautness and tone, can have a dramatic affect on its appearance.

Other measures include keeping the body adequately hydrated. Get plenty of exercise, which improves circulation. Eating plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and adequate proteins, which can help keep hormone levels even. Also, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding fast weight losses repeatedly, as this can loosing the bonds between the skin and the underlying tissues.
