You can easily reduce and remove cellulite. By following the program below closely, your cellulite can be completely gone after 6 months. We also explain why you get cellulite and why it is so difficult to reduce and remove it with diet, exercise and anti-cellulite creams.
Diet, sports and anti-cellulite creams
If you are like the majority of women, you have probably tried to reduce and eliminate your cellulite with diet, exercise and anti-cellulite creams. The result was probably disappointing. Why is it that diet, exercise and anti-cellulite creams have little effect on cellulite?
Cellulite and fat
Most women still associate cellulite with fat. Of course, cellulite is located in places where fat cells are swollen, but losing weight alone cannot solve the problem. If you think a little logically, you will understand that cellulite is not linked to excess weight and fat. Take the Hollywood stars as an example. You have probably already seen photos of super slim actresses, with not an ounce of excess on their buttocks and thighs, but who still suffer from cellulite. In addition, you also have heavier ladies without cellulite. This means that exercise and diets have virtually no effect on your orange peel skin.
Cellulite and circulation
The majority of cellulite is associated with poor circulatory function, more specifically local microcirculation. The body stores its fat where microcirculation is the worst. That is why many women are fuller in the hips, buttocks and stomach. Not only do the fats get blocked in these places, waste products and moisture also get stuck here. Therefore, to reduce and remove cellulite, we must first focus on improving this microcirculation. We can do this through special massages and essential oils (see below). Once microcirculation has started again, it is important to remove excess fluid and waste products through an adapted diet and nutritional supplements.
Cellulite and adhesions
If your cellulite is recent (less than a year), you will get rid of it in no time. If your cellulite has been there for a while, removing it will take more time and effort. This is because over the years a layer of connective tissue has formed around the cellulite. The harder and more painful your cellulite, the more this process has occurred. The cellulite has literally encapsulated itself in the skin. You should think of it as a thick sticky mass that is difficult to loosen and whose covering is impermeable. But difficult does not mean impossible. Special massages and essential oils help remove these adhesions. Another good way to break through the connective tissue around cellulite and loosen adhesions is to take a pineapple supplement. Don’t expect miracles in this area. Adhesions that have been there for years take at least four to six months to disappear.
Massage and essential oils
The different massage techniques and the use of essential oils are the main means to reduce and remove cellulite. Do them daily, preferably several times a day, and use every free moment to massage your orange peel skin and stimulate local blood circulation. The more the better.
Loofah
Massage your skin at least once a day with a loofah glove. On your legs and thighs, use long strips that go in the direction of the heart; on the buttocks use circular movements. The skin should turn pink to red, so do not hesitate to make the movements energetic. You will notice that there are places where the skin becomes more difficult to redden. These are the places where blood circulation is the worst. You will have to massage these places more often and for longer. In the beginning, your skin will be very sensitive to the massages with the loofah. After a few weeks you will no longer feel any of this.
Roller-squeezing (palper-rouler)
After the massage with the loofah, you should perform rolling and pinching movements on the skin. This loosens adhesions and firms the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. For the rolling and pinching massage it is best to use your thumb and index finger, but you can also use your entire hand. If you are not afraid of making a fool of yourself, you can also take the head of the vacuum cleaner and gently move it over your orange peel skin.
Essential oils against cellulite
After the massage it is time to apply the essential oils to the skin. Essential oils should never be used pure, but should always be mixed with a natural base oil such as almond oil, olive oil or grapeseed oil.
The best essential oils to reduce and remove cellulite are:
- Rosemary
- Grapefruit
- Cypress
- Geranium
You can use these oils separately or mix them. Mixing is best because each oil has different properties and therefore tackles a different cause of cellulite.
The oils take quite a while to fully absorb into the skin. Continue massaging towards the heart and in circular movements until the oil is completely absorbed into the skin. The full massage (loofah + rolling-squeezing + application of essential oils) easily takes 30 to 40 minutes.
Power supply
Nutrition program
It is recommended to follow the nutritional program detailed in the article Fade Stretch Marks With Nutrition . This nutritional program ensures that the skin is in top condition, that the production of collagen and elastin is increased so that the skin is firmer and cellulite becomes less visible, and that the body is rid of waste products.
Smoothies against cellulite and fluid retention
Try to start the morning with a smoothie that combats cellulite and fluid retention. You can find ideas for smoothies and juices that reduce orange peel peel in the article Smoothies against cellulite and fluid retention .
Forbidden foods
- Salt (not even pickled fish)
- Sugar
- White flour products such as white bread, white spaghetti, white rice, pizza, cookies
- Animal fat
Acid base
Eat as many alkaline foods as possible because foods labeled as acidic promote cellulite. However, acid in this case has nothing to do with the taste (for example, lemons and apple cider vinegar are alkaline and therefore suitable for reducing and removing cellulite). Meat, oranges and tomatoes, on the other hand, are very acidic and will worsen cellulite.
Organic food
Because cellulite is primarily a waste problem rather than a fat problem, it is important that you eat organically as much as possible.
To drink water
Drink at least one and a half liters of water, herbal tea or green tea per day. All other drinks are to be avoided. It is even better to dissolve a detox treatment or an anti-cellulite treatment in a bottle of water and drink it throughout the day.
Dietary supplements
Dietary supplements are not a must in this treatment, but they can make reducing and removing cellulite easier. Choose capsules and tablets that have a detoxifying and diuretic effect or that are specifically intended for cellulite (so no slimming pills and slimming preparations).
Start with a pineapple supplement from day 1 of this program . This, as it were, pierces the connective tissue that has formed around the cellulite and thus ensures that accumulated fat, fluid and toxins can be removed more easily. Pineapple is now included in most anti-cellulite preparations. Be sure to check the ingredients first to be sure. Pineapple supplements should be taken continuously for a minimum of 6 months.
Velashape
If some cellulite is still visible after 4 months, you can have it removed by treatments with the Velashape. This is a device that combines roller and depresso massage with infrared light and bipolar radio frequencies. The effect of Velashape on cellulite skin is amazing. The price tag of Velashape is quite high, so only do this if you have difficulty removing the last remnants of cellulite. The last bit of cellulite is often the most stubborn; However, you can easily remove most of it yourself.
You can find more information about Velashape in the article Velasmooth & Velashape and in our file Removing cellulite with cosmetic treatments .
Tips
- Don’t give up right away if you don’t have the time and/or inclination to complete the entire program to the letter. The more elements you can combine, the better. With cellulite, however, the key is to start as soon as possible to avoid adhesions, so you’ll make it easier for yourself to follow part of the program rather than none at all.
- Don’t give up if you don’t see results right away. Cellulite takes several months to get rid of, so chances are you won’t see any results in the first month. If cellulite gets worse over time, this is even a good sign. It means that the cellulite has come loose and will now be easy to remove.
- If you do not have time to apply the essential oils twice a day, you can occasionally replace this with a regular anti-cellulite cream.
