MY dear ladies, wouldn’t it be nice if there were a magic solution for getting rid of cellulite? Because it is most definitely a problem that plagues many women all over the world.
As unfair as it seems, women are naturally more prone to cellulite than men, this is because women have different distribution of fat, muscle and connective tissues, than men, making it more likely.
Most sources agree that the dimpled appearance of cellulite occurs due to problems/imbalance in the connective tissue and fat in a person’s body, but there are many theories about what may cause this imbalance.
It seems that hormones, genetics, diet and lifestyle all play a role but are not absolutes.
While those who are overweight tend to have a higher chance of getting cellulite, many thin to medium sized women complain of it as well.
Whilst cellulite won’t cause you any physical harm, if you find that it’s affecting your self-confidence, there are ways to improve your appearance.
Below are 3 ways to
overcome cellulite;
EXERCISE
Yes! You have probably heard this before but it’s true. Cardiovascular exercise, such as running, swimming and walking will help increase circulation and burn body fat, whilst weight training will strengthen muscles underneath cellulite, which will help make it less prominent.
MASSAGES
One of the contributing factors to cellulite is poor circulation. Massages not only feel great, but they’re wonderful for improving blood flow and also the appearance of cellulite.
Massages will also help stimulate the lymphatic system and kick it into action, helping to break down fat cells and eliminate toxins.
Use coconut oil or Apple cider vinegar to massage the affected area. Circular massages into the skin will help to break up those fatty deposits causing cellulite.
EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation is important for general skin health and appearance as it removes dead skin cells whilst also stimulating blood flow. It should be a part of everyone’s general beauty routine, especially if you suffer from cellulite. Whilst there are many different exfoliators available, one of the most popular methods is using Ground Coffee.
Not only does it act as a scrub but also stimulates dilation, plus it also contains antioxidants which could help with toxin removal.
Mix the coffee with some water to form a thick paste and rub it in the affected areas.
Remember to always moisturize after exfoliating.
And Lastly, Be Patient. Do not despair Mwana Amai! All good remedies take time.
Be consistent with your routine and drink lots of water everyday.
Before you know it you will have a Cellulite free body.
Thank you so much for reading.
God bless you and Stay Safe.
