If you have cellulite, you want a magical cellulite cream! For those lucky ones who don’t have cellulite, picture the bumpy texture of an orange peel. That is what the skin surface looks like on someone who has cellulite. It is found on the thighs, buttocks or arms of 95% of all women, fat or skinny, and a few men. Cellulite is an accumulation of fat, fluid, and toxins pushed up from beneath the skin. This accumulation hardens into elastin and collagen fibers. Cellulite can be hereditary. Other causes are lack of exercise and poor dietary habits, stress and hormones.
Cellulite cream treatments are being developed to attack these factors and reduce the visible effects of cellulite. Cellulite cream treatments vary in type and effectiveness. Cellulite cream treatments contain vitamins, minerals, herbs and antioxidants which tighten, smooth, and soften the skin. The vitamins and minerals in cellulite cream treatments increase the skin’s health which makes it better able to heal. Cellulite cream treatments that contain anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory medications reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to the skin.The positive effects of cellulite cream treatment can be enhanced by rubbing the area with a massage glove or a brush to improve circulation to the skin. Cellulite cream is beneficial in reaching the outer layer, or epidermis of the skin, thereby reducing cellulite, but it is not 100% effective when used alone. Some of the treatment has to come from within the body. Increasing water consumption aids cellulite reduction by cleansing your system and flushing out toxins. Drink less coffee and soda pop. Drink fruit juices and herbal teas instead. Make sure you get plenty of vitamin C. Exercise, walk, stretch and/or swim. Exercise will strengthen muscle which will reduce the visual effects of cellulite. Cellulite cream treatments that contain moisturizing ingredients have at least a temporary effect on the appearance of cellulite because most areas affected by cellulite are dehydrated. Use caution though, because some cellulite cream treatments can cause some dehydrating of the skin after prolonged use. Some types of cellulite cream will actually seem to reduce the overall size of the thigh, for instance, when in actuality it is dehydrating the area by removing wasted water accumulations. This is because cellulite cream actually contains caffeine which tightens the blood vessels. Cellulite cream, combined with other treatments, can improve your condition, but don’t expect a miracle cure. |
