This example of home treatment for cellulite should be done 3 times a week and can be useful to eliminate cellulite of grades 1 and 2, but it also helps to combat cellulites of grades 3 and 4, which are more evident and profound.
However, to improve the result it is advisable to drink green tea and eat a healthy diet, avoiding all industrialized ones, giving preference to raw foods, to detoxify the body and decrease fluid retention.
This homemade cellulite treatment consists of 3 simple steps that can be done while bathing:
1st Step: Exfoliate the skin
Doing a skin exfoliation is the first step in treating cellulite, as it removes dead skin cells and renews it, preparing for the next steps.
To do the exfoliation, just apply an exfoliating cream or make a homemade exfoliation, using circular movements, washing the skin afterwards. See a homemade exfoliating recipe.
2nd Step: Use anti-cellulite cream
The second step includes the application of an anti-cellulite cream. After removing dead skin cells with exfoliation, the anti-cellulite cream will be better absorbed by the skin.
A good example of cellulite cream is Clarins' Hight Definition Body Lift Cellulite Control anti-cellulite cream, which can be found in cosmetic stores like Sephora, for example, as well as Nivea's Goodbye Cellulite. See more examples at: Creams for cellulite.
3rd Step: Massage
Massage is the third and final step of this homemade cellulite treatment and can be done with the Beurer cellulite massager, for example. Just apply the massager on the body area with cellulite, changing its position to fully cover the region.
The massage will stimulate blood circulation in the region, promoting the absorption of the cream and the elimination of cellulite, but it should not be longer than 15 minutes. More details in: Massage against cellulite.
How to end cellulite
To end cellulite, in addition to this homemade treatment, it is important to follow some recommendations such as:
- Take teas with a diuretic effect to help eliminate liquids that in excess can cause cellulite; Take the horse chestnut tea, as it has anti-inflammatory and vasoactive properties, placing 1 teaspoon of dried chestnut leaves in 1 cup of boiling water, allowing to rest for about 10 minutes and straining next; instead of horse chestnut tea, ingest 250 to 300 mg of dry horse chestnut extract, 1 or 2 times day, with meals, because it contains a higher concentration of escin, the substance that is effective in combating cellulite; Invest in a healthy diet, avoiding the consumption of industrialized foods, sweets, with salt, fried foods or containing fat or sugar in your composition; Drink plenty of water, about 2 to 3 liters a day; Practice physical exercises such as running, step, jump, treadmill, rhythmic gymnastics, football and hydrotherapy, for example, at least 3 times a week and lasting approximately 1 hour.
This healthy lifestyle should be adopted for life, to help fight cellulite and to prevent its resurgence.
