Cellulite treatment in Spas and Salon is expensive and is not available for everyone. Therefore, it is better to discover a cellulite treatment on your own – all in the comfort of your own home.
When the connective tissue holding fats cells in place beneath the skin becomes weakened, it leads to development of cellulite. The weakened connective tissue allows fat cells to protrude through into the basal layer of the skin and it is these projections that cause the bumps and dimples of cellulite.
When the fat cells are not contained in the appropriate manner other problems can be caused such as fluid retention and varicose veins.
For any home based cellulite treatment to be successful, you must focus on re-establishing the strength and integrity of the connective tissues which will then be capable to better contain the fat cells and enhance circulation of both blood and lymph. You might be wondering how to attain all these things at home.
Home Cellulite Treatment With Aerobic Activities
The first thing required is an enhancement in blood circulation and this can be attained by including some form of aerobic activity into your daily regime for a minimum of 30 minutes each day. You do not have to make time to go to the gym – remember this is all about home cellulite treatments.
Think about what you can do at home – possibly some vigorous gardening or housework; putting away or ignoring some of those labor saving devices and doing things the old fashioned way; a brisk walk with the dog rather than a comfortable stroll.
You will begin to see a reduction in cellulite by persisting with some form of aerobic activity for 3 months.
Home Cellulite Treatment With Detoxification
Another efficient home cellulite treatment is to encourage detoxification through diet. Drink at least 8 large glasses of fresh water, filtered if possible, every day. Raise your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables for their fibre, nutrient and water content.
Cut out the excess calories from your diet – whilst cellulite is not essentially caused by obesity it is fat cells that cause the problem and the less of these there are the less stress there will be on the connective tissues. Consider supplementing your diet with necessary vitamins and minerals to support the natural repair procedures of the body.
Connective tissue needs a plentiful supply of copper and vitamin C if it is to be capable to create the collagen it needs to stay in shape. Grape Seed Extract has a tightening effect on tissue and is found in many modern anti-oxidant supplements.
Home Cellulite Treatment With Massage
Before bathing or showering everyday, use a gentle skin brush. Allow your skin to breathe and get rid of toxins to restore the health of the underlying structures. Include some form of massage of the affected areas into your day.
Once again, perhaps bath or shower time would be a good time to give your self a massage always remembering to keep massage strokes moving towards the heart.
Your aim in self treating at home is to support the repair of the connective tissue and to do what you can to get rid of the underlying causes of cellulite at the same time as adopting a diet and lifestyle to avoid reappearance.
