Get a Massage For Cellulite

There are many widely known natural cures to get rid of cellulite, as well as a few that are relatively unknown. One of the more unknown treatment methods is cellulite massage. This is really a shame because cellulite massagers can have a huge impact when it comes to cellulite reduction.

A cellulite massage is pretty much like any other therapeutic massage, except for the fact that it's purpose is cellulite removal rather than relaxation. As with any other massage, pressure will be applied to the skin and the area will be rubbed firmly. The difference in cellulite massages is that the pressure is much more intense than regular massages -- so much so that it often leaves mild bruising. Why is this? Well, without the increased pressure, cellulite would be unaffected by the massage treatment.

The reason cellulite massages work is because of what is happening just under the skin. The naked eye can't see what is actually going on "behind the scenes," which is why some people don't believe in using cellulite massages as a reduction treatment -- as they want the results to be achieved instantly or overnight. Basically, what's happening is the blood flow, circulation, and lymphatic drainage is starting to drastically increase. These 3 things make it harder for cellulite to stay "stuck" in certain places of the body; resulting in the eventual removal of all cellulite in the massaged area.

As mentioned earlier, the cellulite won't simply break up after the first massage treatment. In fact, it may take numerous treatments before seeing even the slightest of differences. This is due to the fact that there needs to be regular activity in the area -- otherwise the cellulite will choose to stick around rather than break apart and "leave" through the bowels and kidneys.

If you don't know anything about cellulite massages or the techniques involved, then your best bet is to consult a cellulite massager specialist. But then again, if you would rather do the massages from home without spending money, simply read up on the typical cellulite massage steps and then get started.

In order to make your cellulite massages even more effective, you may want to consider the regular use of anti-cellulite creams. Many experts believe that cellulite treatment creams can help speed up the cellulite reduction process -- However, before you go off and buy loads of treatment creams, you should know what ingredients to look for in order to avoid the cheap imitation creams. A short list of approved cream ingredients is below.

---------------------------
Green Tea- This ingredient contains catechin polyphenols -- a natural substance that helps increase the body's fat burning process. More fat & calories burned means less cellulite to worry about.

Caffeine- When absorbed through the skin, rather than ingested through the intake of coffee, soft drinks, and/or food, caffeine is actually good for getting rid of cellulite. It increases the blood flow and circulation, which helps to breakdown and further prevent cellulite from building up.

Vitamin A- This particular ingredient works on repairing the connective tissue just under the skin. Poor connective tissue allows cellulite to accumulate and "move" freely without contest. When this tissue is strengthened, the cellulite has less maneuverability and is, in a sense, confined to the area it is in -- which makes it easier for the other ingredients to work their magic. In addition to that, the stronger connective tissue prevents cellulite from forming again in the future.

Cellulite massagers can already provide outstanding results when it comes to cellulite removal. Throw in anti-cellulite creams and you have a nearly guaranteed way to get rid of cellulite within just a few months.
