How to choose a cellulite cream
The variety of forms, smells and prices is amazing – how to understand which cream is right for you?
First of all, focus on the composition. Some cosmetologists offer a line of care based on the age of clients – hence the special “inclusions” like Botox. The main ingredients of any anti-cellulite cream are retinol-A and caffeine. It is they who penetrate the skin, come into contact with body fat and confidently win the fight. Caffeine further tones the skin. And so that it does not fade, essential oils like cedar or orange are used.
Next, packaging is important. If you are used to using dispensers, why not give preference to them? Someone loves open jars, preferring to scoop up anti-cellulite cream with their fingertips, someone is delighted with spray nozzles – they say that they themselves cope with applying the product, you don’t even need to rub it. Choose what you are used to!
Finally, the most painful question is how much you are willing to spend on an anti-cellulite cream. Belarusian brands like Belita Vitex offer affordable tubes for the price of a cup of coffee, European manufacturers add perfumed fragrances to the composition – and the price rises to the level of a bottle of perfume. In fact, you should focus not on the appearance, but on the composition. It will be discussed further.
Types and composition of cellulite creams
Depending on the consistency, cosmetologists distinguish several types of anti-cellulite products: cream, gel, spray, serum, scrub. The composition is 90% the same, but there is a different form of release. For example, the same Vitex offers an anti-cellulite cream in the form of a transparent gel, as well as a thick creamy milk. There is no difference in use, except that the gel ends faster: the transparent layer is not visible, sometimes you squeeze out more than the thigh area requires. What must be present in the composition for the remedy to be useful?
- Caffeine – an important ingredient in the fight against cellulite, is responsible for the breakdown of fat cells, skin toning;
- Retinol-A – nourishes and softens the effect of caffeine, gives the skin elasticity, helps smooth wrinkles on the upper layer;
- Algae extract (kelp) – the pronounced benefits of seaweed are manifested not only in internal, but also in external use. Vitamins A and B12 contained in algae renew cells, promote blood flow to “problem” places;
- Essential oils – the already mentioned orange oil removes toxins and excess fluid from the skin, promotes its regeneration, cinnamon and juniper supplements are also popular. In their pure form, they are not used, because they can leave a burn on the delicate upper layer of the epidermis, these oils are bred on the basis of more delicate olive, almond, peach. All these components are necessarily present in a good cellulite cream;
- Mineral salts – Do you remember folk procedures in the bath like rubbing with salt? If a trip to the spa is not expected, choose a cream with this additive. Minerals actively fight fat deposits;
- Eccherbal tracts – after such an active exposure, the skin needs rest and nutrition. Natural additives do an excellent job with this: grape seed extract, hawthorn, ivy, St. John’s wort.
How to apply cellulite cream
It’s worth starting with a scrub, because any cream fits well on cleansed skin. Use products with mild abrasive particles, do not get carried away with them, they can not be used more than 2 times a week – because your skin still has to “shock work” thanks to cellulite cream.
After cleansing, take a few minutes to massage. 5-10 minutes of warming up the problem area (with hands, a massager or a hard mitten) will cause a rush of blood, the components applied after that will be absorbed faster and begin to act.
Finally, it’s time for an anti-cellulite remedy. Apply it on the skin of the legs and thighs with massaging movements from the bottom up – as if putting on tights. Next, the buttocks: the cream is rubbed in a circular motion, you can tighten the muscles to enhance the effect. After that comes the stomach – it must be treated carefully, the break after eating should be at least 2 hours, so as not to complicate digestion. The movements are also circular, the emphasis is on shifting from top to bottom. Especially such a massage will be useful after childbirth: it helps in the fight against stretch marks.
But the most important thing is to prepare your body not only externally, but also internally. After all, cellulite is an indicator that we do not eat right, abuse bad habits, lead a sedentary lifestyle. I agree with this cosmetologist Kristina Tulaeva, expert at the Laviani clinic.
Expert Opinion
– Cellulite is a stagnation in adipose tissue caused by a violation of microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Unfortunately, smoking and alcohol cause vascular damage, the tendency to thrombosis increases, nutrition (microcirculation) of adipose tissue is disturbed. The action of anti-cellulite cream is aimed at improving blood circulation. It has a warming effect, which accelerates metabolic processes, the expenditure of fat cells for energy. However, impaired microcirculation and lymph drainage are internal causes that cannot be removed by external means. It is necessary to connect the power supply, physical. loads, massage. If this is not done, then the fat will again go into action, notes cosmetologist Kristina Tulaeva.
