Cellulite is one of the things that every woman fears and millions of dollars are spent on treating cellulite every year. The condition occurs mainly on the stomach, thighs and hips because it is these areas which have the highest fat content in the woman's body. There are fat deposits that exist below the skin and when they begin to bulge dimples on the skin above begin to appear.
The appearance of cellulite can be reduced by a number of different treatments. A popular cellulite treatment is massage. By smoothing the lumpy fat deposits out and improving the blood circulation to the cellulite areas, massage can help improve the look of the skin.
Massage machines are available in both a spa or home environment. But not anyone can afford to purchase equipment or a pay a trained beauty therapist to carry out the treatment. This is why self-massage can be a cost-effective cellulite treatment for those on a tight budget or in combination with other treatments like wraps, radio therapy, laser therapy or creams and lotions.
As with any other type of massage, it is best to use massage oil when doing cellulite self-massage. There are a particular set of oils which are thought to help the fat loss process and aid cellulite removal. The best person to talk to about these products is your beauty therapist or local suppler of natural oils.
For the cellulite on your abdomen and hips use two hands on your stomach. Knead the skin and fat by lifting it with one and then dropping it into the other one. Do this all over your tummy and hips.
After you have massaged the problem areas with that type of motion switch to using circular motions. It is thought it is best to use clockwise motions only as this is the natural direction of your digestive process. It is not recommended to massage your stomach area when you are pregnant. Otherwise you may hurt the developing baby.
If you have cellulite on your thighs as most women do, start at the knee and use a long stroking motion upwards. Also use the same stroke with the area behind the knees and back thighs.
Knead the cellulite with both hands, picking up and then dropping the skin and fat in alternative motions with your hands.
To increase the cellulite removal process you can combine the self-massage with other cellulite treatments. If you are on a tight budget some simple steps can make a large difference. This includes increasing the amount of water you use each day, losing weight by eating correctly and exercising, or using a loofah sponge in the shower to rub the problem areas.
For a more intensive cellulite massage treatment you should investigate a home massage machine or ask your local health and beauty spa whether they have a specialized machine available to their customers. - 15683
