Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is one of life's little hangups that can have even the most beautiful, and in shape, woman spending a day at the beach wrapped in her sarong.

There are multiple steps you can take to boost your confidence about cellulite-ridden spots on your gorgeous frame.

For starters, a healthy diet and exercise is essential to helping reduce cellulite. Not to mention, it does wonders for your self-esteem and energy levels.

Strength and toning exercises have been noted to help reduce the appearance of cellulite, as has maintaining a healthy, steady, weight.

Too many ups and downs on the scale, smoking, excessive drinking and even too much soda are suspected as some precursors to the dreaded dimpling.

A miracle cure that zaps away cellulite completely is still forthcoming, but that doesn't mean you can't utilize lifestyle and cosmetic products to tone down its prominence and show your skin with assurance! Below are some tips and suggestions to help you on your way!


Dry Brush

According to Murad, dry brushing is a technique that helps reduce cellulite. It brings nutrients and oxygen from the lower layers of skin up to the top, helping blood flow and increasing new cell production.

It also helps with lymph flow. What's a lymph? It's actually a bodily fluid that transports fat and fat cells, among other things, throughout the body.

If the flow isn't happening or is particularly slow, cellulite can result. Dry brushing helps to speed it up.

All you need is a natural bristle brush, which is sold at a wide variety of health stores and spas.

To use, start at your feet and use long, brisk strokes upward, toward your heart. Brush your arms in a similar, upward, motion and use a clock-wise motion for your abdomen.

The whole thing should take between 2 and 5 minutes. Avoid being too rough. The bristles are strong enough to work with medium pressure.

Massage Brush with
Elemis Cellutox Active Body Oil

If the dry brushing sounds a bit rough, pun intended, try a different sort of massage technique.

This involves buying a special massage tool such as the the Bliss Stimulator.

Instead of bristles, its underside is formed into rounded nubs that help stimulate blood and lymph flow. Take it a step further and use ESPA's detox oil.

Massage the oil into your skin first, and then use the stimulator. The oil has ingredients, cypress and juniper berry, that are known to aid in lymph flow.

Keep the same upward and circular motion techniques with this tool as you would with the dry brush.

Retinol

Retinol cream and serum is well known to fight wrinkles. Vitamin A antioxidants help protect the skin from free radicals, particles in the air that break skin down and age it over time.

Retinol also has a use for cellulite. Purchase a retinol cream and massage it into your skin at cellulite sites 1 to 3 times daily. According to one of Oprah's favorites, Dr. Oz, think of your body like a cake and the skin as icing.

Retinol cream helps to thicken up that layer of icing, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has many health benefits, one of them include an improvement in skin's surface thereby reducing the look of cellulite.

One of its acids actually helps burn fat faster during exercise, as well as helps improve the flow of fat cells throughout your body, so they don't get stuck in the form of cellulite!

How to take in your vitamins? Consider purchasing a daily vitamin supplement, eat foods that are rich in vitamin C (note: an orange will be much more effective than a glass of processed OJ from the store) and look for moisturizers and creams that include vitamin C as a top ingredient.

There are multiple fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C. Do your research and add them into your diet!

Cellulite Cream With Caffeine

There are so many cellulite creams on the market, it can be tough to decide which one to pick up on the shelf. Many of the creams you see will tout caffeine as a leading ingredient.

The theory behind this has to do with caffeine's ability to restrict blood vessels and dehydrate fat cells.

Studies have shown that women who use cellulite cream with caffeine as a major ingredient see a reduction in their inches as well as smoother skin.

But beware, these effects are not permanent. You'll need to diligently keep applying the creams to maintain their results.

Firming Lotion

Firming lotions are not only a way to reduce the bumpy appearance of cellulite, they're also a way to help get rid of the ultra soft texture of cellulite areas and reduce the wiggle and jiggle of less-than-toned skin.

Note, this doesn't replace exercise, which tones your muscles, but if you're already hitting the gym and your skin isn't as firm as you'd like, these lotions can help.

They often contain natural ingredients whose properties help reduce water retention, improve blood and lymph flow and the break down of fat.

Look for ingredients like baccharis, sunflower extract, lotus flower extract and red algae extract.

Ionithermine Treatments

This is quite an interesting approach to reducing cellulite and has been around since the '70s.

You'll need a certified professional to do it, it's definitely not an at-home method.

When you get your Ionthermine treatment you can expect to get your legs and posterior coated in a clay mask, wrapped in fabric and then coated again on top of the fabric.

The clay mask can contain other ingredients that help stimulate blood flow.

After the great wrap, electrodes are attached to your skin and mild electric shocks are delivered to stimulate muscle and skin tone. The clay helps conduct the electricity.

While this treatment is not meant to hurt, it can produce results of discomfort related to a rigorous workout. Each session lasts about 30 minutes.

Approximately 5 to 10 treatments are needed depending on the severity of cellulite. It's effects, like all cellulite treatments, are non-permanent, but its longevity helps prove its efficacy for impressive short-term results.

I get weekly treatments and I always get compliments on my abs.

If you're getting ready for a beach holiday then go in for three treatments back-to-back and you'll lose inches around your legs and mid-section immediately.

The spa treatments work the best, but if you don't have any professionals in your area or can't afford to make weekly visits then try the at home products.

You have to buy all three products and apply daily for a few weeks to start noticing results, where as the spa treatments are immediate.

Before applying the products, use a dry brush to get your blood flowing and to get rid of any dead skin.

Then apply the toner first with a cotton ball, break open one of the cupsules using a tissue so as not to cut yourself and apply to your legs, bum and stomach, then apply the lotion to your problem areas or all over your body.

Water

Drinking plenty of water helps to flush out the toxins in your skin, to help that ever-important blood and lymph flow.

Contrary to popular belief that drinking water can cause bloat, it actually will help to reduce water retention by stimulating the need to use the loo, which is one way we get rid of our water (sweating is the other, so think of that before you skip your next run!).


Shot of Cold Water

This isn't the type of shot you drink, though you could if you wanted to. Short bursts of cold water on your body actually helps to increase circulation.

People in Iceland have been using the method for a very long time.

They like to jump in and out of hot and cold places, for example, from snow-to-sauna.

To do it at home, jump in your typical warm shower in the morning (it's best to do it at the beginning of the day) and then completely turn off the hot water to cold for the last 60 seconds.

Your circulation will be improved and over time your cellulite could be too. Do it every day and make it a habit!


Massage

The next time you're thinking of laying out on a massage table to get rid of some stress, consider getting a cellulite massage.

This is a special type of massage that many health spas perform with specific tactics used to reduce the appearance of those little bumps.

Certain stroking patterns help improve the flow of blood and lymph, and specific oils are used that help to restrict, shrink and firm.

All natural extracts included in anti-cellulite oil will affect fat cells, circulation and water retention. Not just any massage will do.

Be sure to inquire about cellulite massages at the spa or massage center of your choice.
