Click to Enlarge InfographicIn this section, we are going to take a look at anti cellulite applications and ingredients. We are going to find out what certain ingredients do and why they work.

It should be noted as a reminder however, that applications on their own will only provide limited results. For comprehensive results that you are almost certainly looking for, you will need to adopt a complete effective plan of which applications play a factor.

Effective Super Products


Why Certain Products are Effective

There are masses of products on the market. Some are good and some are not. Many incorporate natural ingredients and some incorporate synthetic ingredients that have been developed in a laboratory.

Anti Cellulite LotionTo best understand which products are the best, we should first of all understand the exact process in which the lumpy cell appearance is formed, and then we can take a look at some of the best ingredients and see how they work and what they do.

The Basic/Simple Explanation:

It is formed when our body’s waste disposal system gets bogged down with too many toxins. This leads to the development and buildup of fat cells under the skin. The greater the buildup of toxins, the greater the buildup of the fat cells which produces that dimpled orange peel skin appearance.

In addition to this, if we don’t factor the right diet and lifestyle, the supportive tissue under the skin can become weak and ineffective at holding its structure together, and this can result in the cell fat lumps pushing on the skin forming the orange peel appearance.

Effective products and ingredients help to provide strength to the supporting tissue, or help to assist the blood and lymph circulation and to aid the removal of toxins which assist in the formation of this unwanted cell appearance.

The Technical Explanation:

Certified dermatologist Dr. Elina Nikolenko says that the unwanted lumpy cell appearance is a microcirculatory disorder of the endocrine system. Now cellulite is characterized by changes in the interstitial matrix as well as in the subcutaneous tissues. Normally, the adipose tissue, or layer of fat, in the subcutaneous layer of the skin is nourished by very small blood vessels as well as lymph vessels. These same structures remove the waste products and toxins that are released from cellular metabolism.

Cellulite is believed to occur because of a problem in the way waste matter and toxins are not effectively removed from the body, leading to the accumulation of fat cells in the subcutaneous layer, and resulting in the changes that are observed as orange-peel skin as the unwanted lumpy cell appearance forms.

These products therefore should contain ingredients that have been proven by science to facilitate the removal of toxic substances, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve overall blood and lymphatic circulation. Studies have shown that, while there are a lot of ingredients that can play a significant role in reducing the unwanted lumpy cell, the following may be more effective than others:

  • Retinol: Dr Oz in his show talks about retinol as being one of the few topical ingredients that actually work in the process of getting rid of this cell appearance. He says that Retinol strengthens the connective tissue under the skin. The lumpy cells appear when that supporting tissue becomes weak and damaged. Retinol is an active ingredient that firms up the tissue
  • Caffeine: When applied to the skin can increase circulation while at the same time promoting the breakdown of fat cells. Another application that Dr Oz says in proven to work
  • Green Clay: Stimulates blood & lymph circulation and is rich in magnesium and other minerals elements that have been found effective in detoxification. Green clay is also used in various skin rejuvenation treatment programs to ensure healthier skin.
  • Juniper Oil: This oil has a lot of health benefits. Juniper oil improves blood flow and lymph flow as well as facilitates the removal of toxins from the body through the urine. Additionally juniper oil can reduce inflammatory responses which are often associated with chronic conditions such as obesity and cellulite.
  • Vitamin E Oil: Like Juniper oil, this oil improves blood flow and lymph flow as well as facilitates the removal of toxins from the.
  • L-carnitine: This can be an effective fat burner. It has the additional effect of improving the overall structural integrity of the skin, something that is needed to combat the lumpy cell appearance.

Other notable effective ingredients include Vitamin C, Coconut Oil, Glaucium Flavum Extract, Euglena Gracilis Extract, Centella Asiatica, Peptides and Horsetail Extract. Their mechanisms of action can range anywhere from reduction of inflammation, improvement of blood flow, and strengthening of the overall structural integrity of the skin. All of these can help in your effort to reduce the dimples skin appearance.

Dry Brushing

The Reason Why Dry Brushing Reduces the Appearance of The Cottage Cheese Skin Effect

Dry Brushing for CelluliteDr. Mercola says that the massaging action of dry brushing can greatly improve lymphatic drainage. He goes on to say that the brushing can also help soften hard fat deposits beneath the skin and help distribute fat more evenly. Dr. Mercola also mentions that dry brushing helps reduce the unwanted dimpled lumpy skin appearance by removing the toxins that can cause a breakdown of the connective tissue beneath the skin.

One of the things that should be noted as part of the effectiveness of dry brushing is the pressure that is applied by the brush is important as part of the smoothing effect to act as a steam roller effectively on the unsightly lumps and bumps to give the appearance of beautifully smooth skin.

To properly brush your skin, you need to have the correct kind of brush for the job. What is important is for the bristles to be firm so that they can apply pressure on the skin. You also need a long handle with which to hold the brush when working on hard-to-reach areas like the back. Dry brushing is best done prior to taking a shower in the morning. Use long and upward strokes to brush the skin of your feet and work your way up towards your torso. Finish dry brushing from your forearms and work your way towards the armpits.

Practical Steps to Follow

Purchase a dry brush like one shown in this image. Just before using, apply coconut oil to the skin you are going to brush so that the brush effect is smooth. The coconut oil will prevent chaffing and will also have a positive effect in the reduction of the pitted cell appearance due to the coconut oils effective properties on and in your skin.

Brush your skin towards your upper body just before taking a shower in the morning in order to get rid of the unsightly lumpy appearance.

This is intended to perform two things:
1. The scrubbing action can have an exfoliating effect on dead skin cells.
2. The massaging action, when done in the direction of blood and lymph flow, can help in the removal of toxins in a process of detoxification.

Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a Carrier Oil

The Reason Why Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a Good Carrier Oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a Great Carrier OilYou can use extra virgin olive oil as a base for other effective super ingredients such as coffee grounds, juniper oil and tangerine oil, etc. The olive oil is a healthy quality oil and is a great carrier for these other ingredients.

Extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants, fatty acid (monounsaturated fatty acids), Oleic acid, vitamin E and vitamin K, which make this oil the perfect base for massage and as a carrier for other  ingredients.

Extra virgin olive oil is mainly composed of oleic acid, accounting for about 80 percent of its weight. Oleic acid is able to penetrate deep into the skin a lot more efficiently than most other substances. It is for this reason that olive oil is often used as an important base for many skin treatments including cellulite reduction treatments.

Practical Steps to Follow

Here is a quick example of using extra virgin olive oil as a carrier oil:

Let’s take coffee grounds as our active ingredient, as it is known to be effective in both exfoliating the skin and facilitating the removal of toxins from the body.

Now coffee grounds on their own are no good. They are naturally dry by themselves and their beneficial properties can’t get absorbed in to the skin without applying a carrier. By mixing the ground coffee with the extra virgin olive oil, you get a perfect medium and an effective application.

Use and Apply Coconut Oil

The Reason Why Coconut Oil Helps

Coconut Oil is an Amazing Anti Cellulite ApplicationCoconut oil is an amazing application, and when used to massage areas of the body that are affected by this lumpy cell appearance, it is very effective.

Practical Steps to Follow

After your bath/shower, dry your skin thoroughly, and then apply coconut oil onto the areas that you want treated and massage the area well. You can use in conjunction with dry brushing to maximize the efficiency of your time. After you have finished your treatment, allow 10 to 15 minutes before taking another shower to clean up.

You can perform this coconut oil lumpy cell reduction massage every day preferably in the morning.
