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
  1. Apply moisturizing lotion to the cellulite ridden area so your hands glide on with ease.
  2. Start massaging at the lowest point and go up towards your heart.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
