Do Anti Cellulite Massage
|
Anti cellulite massage will not melt your fat away, but it will assist in the cellulite reduction if done in combination with proper diet, exercise etc. Steps
- Apply moisturizing lotion to the cellulite ridden area so your hands glide on with ease.
- Start massaging at the lowest point and go up towards your heart.
- Apply moderate pressure to the skin and alternate these moves:
- Long sweeping strokes using your knuckles, fingers or palm of your hand.
- Circular motion again using your hand as above.
- Kneading motion by grasping your skin with your thumb and fingers and massaging it in circular motion like it was dough.
- Pinch the skin gently between thumb and fingers and pull it slightly away from the body.
- Pinch the skin gently between thumb and fingers and gently pull it in all directions.
- Always finish off with some relaxing broad contact strokes (Effleurage)
Tips
- Do this every day for at least five minutes at a time in each problem area.
- For the gentle pinch technique it is sometimes easier to work without lotion.
- Use a rolling tool, one with balls, rollers, or texture, for more stimulation and to keep your hands from tiring.
- Combine essential oils like Black Pepper, Rosemary, Geranium and Ginger to a plain lotion to make your own cellulite reduction formula*. Black Pepper is warming and stimulating; Rosemary is excellent for vericose vein and cellulite treatment; Geranium increases lymph drainage and is detoxing; Ginger increases circulation, is pain relieving, warming, and is useful to treat bruises.
- A lot of women have this problem! So don't think that you are the only one who is bothered with it!
- Remember to love yourself - no matter how your skin looks. That is not what is important!
- AND: If you feel good inside, and are happy and satisfied with yourself - it WILL appear on the outside. :)
Warnings
- Do not put too much pressure on your skin as this can damage your skin.
