Up to 95 women face the problem of cellulite. Cellulite usually appears on thighs and butts, turning our smooth skin into cottage cheese. Most women think this is something they have to put up with, and hide it under pants and long skirts. Don t be discouraged! There are ways to decrease and get rid of cellulite for good. This is how!
What does cellulite means?
Beneath our skin is a net of connective tissues called septae. Under that is a layer of fat. When the fat layer of tissue passes through the net of septae it creates cellulite, forming the appearance of ripples. Picture a fishnet stretched over gelatin. The gelatin will pole through the holes in the net, as the net is tightened. It is also in this manner that the septae and fat create ripples beneath our skin.
Older women are particularly susceptible to cellulite because, with age, the holes in the septae’s net become bigger and the skin becomes thinner, making the fat bulges bigger and more obvious.
Usually, exercise has little effect on cellulite. You have to take remedies directly to your skin and fat cells to achieve a smoother appearance.
Two Steps to Beating Cellulite
Skip the liposuction and surgery. Studies have revealed that massaging the affected area is one of the best ways to dispose of cellulite. Amazing something so simple can give you so much wonderful effect.
Also, if you cool the area it can have a dramatic difference in smoothing cellulite. Every morning you should put both these methods to work.
You should try this everyday, end your shower with a blast of cold tap water on the affected areas.
Then coat your hands with baby oil and gently massage it into the affected areas. Rub for about ten minutes.
Results can be seen in as little as two weeks.
In what way does this work? You should bear in mind that cellulite is fat cells that are pushed outwards, into small bunches. These lumps can be smoothed out with cold and massage, which forces them to go back under the septae, where they should be.
Healthy Skin is Smooth Skin
As skin ages it begins to sag due to a loss of collagen and elasticity. It is important to avoid loss of collagen and elasticity as much as possible as this makes cellulite appear worse than ever.
It is imperative to apply a good moisturizer after your showers so as to prevent loss of elasticity. Best moisturizers are those that contain collagen. You can, thus, add collagen to your skin and at the same time keep it firm.
If your skin continues to sag then try to use a firming lotion like Jergens Firming Daily Moisturizer. It is clinically proven that several of these firming moisturizers facilitate tightening of the skin. As your skin tightens the appearance of cellulites also lessens.
If you want to get rid of cellulite you should take a little extra time to cool, massage, and firm your skin. Now you ll be confident enough to wear those skimpy skirts and shorts!
