This example of a home treatment for cellulite should be done 3 times a week and can be useful for eliminating grade 1 and 2 cellulite, but it also helps combat grade 3 and 4 cellulite, which is more evident and deeper.
However, to improve the result, it is recommended to drink green tea and eat a healthy diet, avoiding all processed foods, giving preference to raw foods, to detoxify the body and reduce fluid retention.
This homemade cellulite treatment consists of 3 simple steps that can be done while taking a shower:
1st Step: Exfoliate the skin
Exfoliating your skin is the first step in treating cellulite, as it removes dead skin cells and renews it, preparing you for the next steps.
To exfoliate, simply apply an exfoliating cream or make a homemade scrub, using circular movements, washing the skin afterwards. See a homemade exfoliant recipe.
2nd Step: Use anti-cellulite cream
The second step includes applying an anti-cellulite cream. After removing dead skin cells with exfoliation, the anti-cellulite cream will be better absorbed by the skin.
A good example of a cellulite cream is the High Definition Body Lift Cellulite Control anti-cellulite cream, from Clarins, which can be found in cosmetic stores like Sephora, for example, as well as Goodbye Cellulite from Nivea. See more examples at: Cellulite creams.
3rd Step: Massage
Massage constitutes the third and final step of this home cellulite treatment and can be done with the Beurer cellulite massager, for example. Simply apply the massager to the area of your body with cellulite, changing position to completely cover the area.
The massage will stimulate blood circulation in the region, promoting the absorption of the cream and the elimination of cellulite but should not last longer than 15 minutes. More details in: Cellulite massage.
