The fight against cellulite is very similar to the fight against excess weight: the recipe is simple and everyone knows it, but everyone wants a "magic pill".
What is cellulite scientifically?
In the subcutaneous layer, lymph flow, microcirculation are disturbed, there is an inflammation of adipose tissue - bumps are obtained.
What causes cellulite:
- sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work
- improper nutrition
- lack of directed load on muscles
- hormonal imbalance
- bad habits
What works in the fight against cellulite, in short:
- physical activity / sports
- proper nutrition with a predominance of protein
- fighting swelling naturally (drink more water - and less coffee, soda and alcohol)
- to give up smoking
- massages: honey, vacuum, lymphatic drainage (professional), etc.
- normalization of hormonal levels.
What does not work (but I would like it to work, but no):
Creams and masks for "problem areas"
They usually include caffeine, herbal ingredients, retinol. They can slightly improve microcirculation and relieve swelling, but this is where the effect ends, and the miracle does not happen.
To avoid cellulite, you need to get rid of excess weight, make the skin more elastic, improve microcirculation - all together. A body cream or mask cannot physically penetrate so deeply into the body to create a long-term effect.Massage brush
Again, it only affects the surface of the skin. And often there is more trouble than a positive effect, because the skin becomes dry and irritated. Perhaps, in combination with the above "anti-cellulite measures", it will work, by itself - no.
Compression clothing
It is useless to wear such clothes lying on the couch - they are usually worn when playing sports or at least walking. And they are the ones who deal with cellulite much better than the clothes that cover it at this moment.
Roller massagers
It is difficult to imagine such a powerful roller massager that would replace a professional with his lymphatic drainage massage, which is really painful. With rollers, not a single girl will do and will not torture herself for an hour and a half a couple of times a week.
But rubbing your legs with a roller massager while watching a series is, rather, a reassurance for your own conscience that you are not just relaxing here.If you try very hard - a small anti-cellulite effect can be obtained, but it must be actively and regularly maintained.
Cryolipolysis
This is a procedure for cooling the body parts where there is cellulite. In general, it promotes weight loss, but it doesn’t get rid of the "orange peel", alas.
