Talking about cellulite… Apart of exercises and healthy eating I find anti-cellulite massage oils to be one of the best and easiest options to ton up the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
First let’s have a look at what is cellulite. The actual term “cellulite” refers to a dimpled, lumpy appearance of the skin at certain areas of the body (thighs, hips, buttocks, sometimes upper arm, stomach). It happens when fat deposits are pushing through the connective tissue under the skin.
Everybody can have cellulite, however women are more pron to have it then men. Usually it’s normal to have some fat under the skin, but when it starts showing as “orange peel” skin that’s when we don’t like it and want to do something to get rid of it.
One of the best preventative ways and ways to get rid of it, I found is to do some self massage on problem areas. And of course using what Nature gave us is the smartest way to do so, in my opinion. Adding essential oils to your massage oil is the easiest and honestly best natural ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
