There is not very good news: overweight women are not susceptible to cellulite. At the same time, our personal experience, like everything else, confirms that it is pointless to fight this nasty phenomenon, that all means of struggle are ineffective and useless. All this convinces us that we must accept it as an inevitable evil. But this is far from the case.
It should be understood that cellulite is not a disease, but a completely normal hormonal or age-related change in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Due to the fact that fat cells begin to grow unevenly, the notorious "lumps" are formed, which appear on the skin, causing us aesthetic troubles.
To eliminate cellulite must be approached comprehensively. Exercise and massage alone cannot solve this issue, so you need to find the right anti-cellulite cream. And in order to choose the one that really fits, we will help you to figure out exactly which ingredients give battle to cellulite. There are not so many of them: kelp, retinol, caffeine, aminophylline. When buying anti-cellulite cream look at the presence of these ingredients, and if it does not contain at least three of this short list, you can assume that you threw your money down the drain.
Kelp
Laminaria (seaweed) is a well-known type of brown seaweed, common in the cold waters of the White, Japanese, Okhotsk seas, as well as in the northern part of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The beneficial properties of kelp have been known for a long time. The presence of a high concentration of iodine allowed this alga to remain the leading thyroid stimulant. Kelp extract is popular in dietetics for promoting weight loss. And it's all about the high concentration of polyphenols and polysaccharides, which increase the metabolic rate in the body. In our fight against cellulite, kelp has a clear task: to tighten and remove excess fluid from the skin.
retinol
Retinol or vitamin A is one of the most popular ingredients that helps to strengthen intercellular connections in the skin. Simply put, it makes the skin more elastic and dense. Retinol also helps to increase collagen production by the body itself. The role of collagen, in turn, is difficult to overestimate, because it pushes the sunken skin areas to the surface. This process is very clearly visible when using anti-aging creams that contain retinol. Its action in the fight against cellulite is similar.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a natural alkaloid that increases blood flow in adipose tissue, which stimulates the breakdown of fat, and its diuretic properties contribute to the displacement of fluid from the fat cell. As you know, fat is mostly water, so the caffeine effect cannot be underestimated. Cellulite bumps will be noticeably less visible, and the skin tone will increase. Studies conducted by specialized companies, published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA), showed that local application of the cream, which contained 3% caffeine, had a pronounced effect in reducing the visible manifestations of cellulite. And he has the best result among the substances that have been tested. And this is due to the fact that this substance has the smallest molecule that penetrates deeper under the skin.
But this substance has one big drawback - a momentary effect and the inability to create a cumulative effect. This means that if you stop using the caffeinated cream or lotion, everything will return to its previous state.
Aminophylline
Aminophylline is a drug. It helps to relax smooth muscles, which relieves spasms. Therefore, it can often be found in the composition of bronchodilator and anti-asthma drugs, which are prescribed to patients with bronchitis. In addition to this effect, aminophylline is able to break down fat very well and has powerful antioxidant properties. Therefore, the presence of this ingredient in an anti-cellulite cream or gel is great news!
In combination with physical exercise and massage, a properly selected anti-cellulite cream, gel or lotion will create a little miracle for you!
