Fact
— Curvy or skinny all girls have cellulite, and if anyone says other wise —by
the powers vested in you by me — call their bluff. If you visit a pharmacy or
cosmetic store there are shelves and shelves of space dedicated to creams and
lotions claiming to cure cellulite — (encore) by the powers vested in you by me
— call their bluff. Ladies modern medicine thus far has failed us and lamentably
there is no permanent fix even on the horizon as of yet. Yes, there are
multiple laser, ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies available in the
market that temporarily help reduce the hallmarks lumps and bumps of cellulite,
but they all fall short in giving lasting results. Research has shown us
clearly that there are multiple causes working against our thighs leading to
the appearance of cottage cheese skin. A lasting remedy would have to address
the interplay between skin, fat, connective tissue and underlying muscle and
currently there is none.
Peau D’ Orange Under The
Microscope —
Cellulite is caused when little bits of fatty tissue push through the fibrous
connective-tissue lattice that is connecting our skin to the underlying
tissues. The fatty tissue itself is soft, and the fibrous connective tissue is
tough. Now imagine the soft fat popping through the open spaces between the
tough strands of fibrous tissue. No matter the body shape, even little bits of
fat can push their way through. Long story short: Fatty tissue (aka cellulite)
can show up on all shapes and sizes, even super model thin frames.
If lotions,
potions, pills and technology have failed us, it doesn’t mean we are going to
lay down arms and embrace the horrific dimples of cottage cheese. Be pro active
and keep your daily prevention shields up and keep the wobbly beast at an arms
length.
Skip Your Tele Date With
Salsa & Chips — Avoiding salty foods and other water retention traps can help keep
the appearance of cellulite at bay. People who retain fluids have cellulite
worse than those who don’t. Introduce your self to low-sodium soy sauce!
Smooth Skin Is Exfoliated
Skin — Seek
out a gentle exfoliator, harsh exfoliators can chafe the skin making skin
dimpling worse over time. You can try a home made sugar scrub because it
dissolves as you use it. For this reason, it’s hard to over-exfoliate with a
well-made sugar scrub. I absolutely trust the new soft, and body-friendly Braun
Silkepil SkinSpa sonic brush exfoliating system for more efficient results.
Happy Skin Is Hydrated Skin — When you’re in the bath
or shower, make good use of your awesome new Braun exfoliator or a body polish.
After toweling off, apply a rich moisturizer while the skin is still damp. Keep
in mind that fancy schmancy moisturizers may not be more effective. These days
a lot of high-tech engineering goes into the development of moisturizers. While
moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter are good to look for, it’s not easy
to identify the good or bad moisturizers by merely looking at the ingredients
alone. I’d recommend looking for a name you trust and price point you feel
comfortable using every day. Ultimately, it is the daily use of a moisturizer
that makes it effective. My personal favorite is AminoGenesis Cocoon that
leaves my skin with a smooth and lasting finish everyday.
Cellulite Creams The Silky
Truth — I don't
want to be the one to break it to you, but there is no over-the-counter cream
that is going to "cure" your cellulite. I really don't understand how
smart, responsible people can think a cream or topical product can make a
difference to cellulite. But if you are keen on feeding your frenzy to tame your
dimpled thighs look for products, which contains restorative antioxidants like
green tea or caffeine. It’s just conjecture on my part, but it may be that
caffeine constricts the tiny vessels in the skin leading to slight local
‘dehydration’ in the skin that can prevent water retention, relieving pressure
in the fat pockets under the skin and indirectly preventing fat from poking
through and making cellulite look better temporarily.
