Principles and techniques of anti-cellulite self-massage ^

The basic principles of anti-cellulite self-massage are quite simple - having mastered them, you can always keep your skin in perfect condition without resorting to the services of expensive beauty salons.

• Anti-cellulite self-massage is necessary to carry out vigorous, but easy movements. The frequent misconception of many women is that, supposedly, you need to use as much physical strength as possible. If you overdo it and you squeeze and squeeze the skin too much, you will only achieve the opposite effect - aggravating the situation and weakening the lymph flow. There are cases when, due to the use of unnecessary force, the effect of cellulite increased markedly.

• To avoid disturbance of the lymph flow, massage in the groin, popliteal region, inner upper thigh and the area around the pubis is prohibited.
• Massage should be done necessarily from the bottom up.
• For a better effect before a self-massage session, warm up the body well with exercise or a warm shower. Hands also should not be cold - warm them, rubbing their palms against each other.

To achieve a speedy result, an anti-cellulite self-massage should be done daily, ideally twice a day - in the morning and in the evening for 15-30 minutes. The first tangible results of the fight against cellulite, with due zeal, usually appear after 1-2 months.

The main techniques of manual anti-cellulite self-massage

When performing manual self-massage 3 basic methods are used - rubbing, pressing and patting.

• Rinsing - is carried out in a circular motion( clockwise) with the whole surface of the palm. In the thigh area, rubbing should be done in a circular motion, and on the legs - from the bottom up.
• Pressing - with this method you need to grab as much of the skin as possible with your hands and crumble "like a dough," while avoiding squeezing the skin. Pressing effectively improves the tone of flaccid muscles.
• Slapping - the most effective massage technique, carried out either with the entire palm, or with the joints of fingers clenched into a fist. In this case a series of rhythmic beats of different intensity is applied. Patches can be conducted under rhythmic music, producing them in time.

The most popular types of anti-cellulite home massage such as can, honey and self-massage with the help of a brush.

Brush anti-cellulite massage ^

Brush anti-cellulite massage, according to cosmetologists, is the best way to restore the circulation of blood and lymph at home. It is carried out with the help of a special massage brush with a handle, which can be purchased at the pharmacy or in the departments of body care products.

The skin should be dry, without the use of oils and creams, so as not to injure the skin. The brush self-massage technique consists of circular motions( clockwise), for each massed zone it is enough about 40 - 60 movements. Movements should be moderate, but the skin should be substantially reddened. Sensation of heat and redness usually persists for half an hour.

When choosing a brush, give preference to natural thick bristles. If the brush is new and with a rough pile, before use, pour it a few times with boiling water and mash the pile to make it less prickly. Remember that after the massage you should not have any abrasions, scratches and tingling.

Starting brush self-massage, break it into zones, necessarily rising from the bottom up. The most optimal option is to consistently treat first caviar, then thighs and buttocks. Standard course of procedures - 30 - 40 daily sessions. It is forbidden to use anti-cellulite hand massage for skin diseases, varicose enlargement and heart diseases.

Once a week it is useful instead of brush self-massage to carry out treatment of cellulite zones with sea salt or ground coffee. To do this, take a warming shower and rub in circular motions with salt or coffee problem areas. At the end of the procedure, apply anti-cellulite cream to the body.

Cellulite anti-cellulite massage ^

The anti-cellulite massage, due to the action of vacuum, softens the dense subcutaneous fat well, and is therefore very effective for correcting beautiful body contours. In addition, it is quite effective in combating stretch marks( striae) and reduces swelling of problem areas.

For carrying out cancellum anti-cellulite massage special soft cans are used, sold in pharmacies. On the jar it is enough to press, attach to the body and release - the principle of the sucker will work, and it will be easily led over the skin.

So that the can easily slips over the body, the skin is lubricated with oil with anti-cellulite effect. Similar oils can be bought at the pharmacy or prepared independently.

• for 5 ml of essential oil of mandarin, lemon and dill;
• for 3 ml of essential oils of dill, juniper, lemon, cypress and tea tree;
• for 3 ml essential oils of lemon, tangerine, cypress and 5 ml of vetiver oil.

Before starting a can of massage, take a warm shower or do gymnastics so that the body and muscles are warmed up well. Then apply oil on the skin, and wipe your hands well - it is necessary that the bank slips only on the body, and not in the hands.

• You need to hold the jar, pressing it with your fingers on the sides and make sure that the skin is pulled in by no more than 1.5 centimeters. If you overdo and the pressure in the bank is excessive, moving it over the body will become difficult.
• After the first few sessions, small bruises may appear, this is normal until the body is accustomed to the procedures. If the bruises continue to appear, then, most likely, you are doing something wrong.
• In addition, with a can of massage you should not experience pain and discomfort. If you have any pain, do not have to endure - loosen the jar, as cellulite-affected areas should not be subjected to excessive squeezing.
• Move the jar very smoothly and continuously, the movements must be circular, directed strictly clockwise. Complete each massage movement towards the venous outflow;if the leak tightness of the can, you need to reposition it and then continue the session.
• In order for the body to gradually become accustomed to the loads, increase the time of the procedures gradually - starting from 2-3 minutes, bringing up to 5-15 minutes for each problem zone. A can of massage is a potent remedy, therefore it is recommended to do it no more often than every 2 to 3 days, the standard course usually consists of 10-12 procedures.
• After the full course, you must necessarily take a break in 10-15 days, and only then, if desired, repeat.

A remarkable effect is provided by a combination of can massage with a brush and with anti-cellulite wraps( vinegar, mud, algae and others).The procedures of the can and brush self-massage perfectly complement each other, as a slight grinding with a brush massage strengthens capillaries and vessels well, and exposure to vacuum during self-massage improves the flow of blood and lymph in tissues.

Since the can massage should be done once in 2 -3 days, and the brush daily on the days when both procedures are to come, try to spread them in time to sustain the interval between them 4-6 hours, but not later than 20.00.

Contraindications to canned vacuum anti-cellulite massage are inflammatory diseases on the skin, malignant and benign tumors, large birthmarks in the massaging zone, tuberculosis, poor blood clotting, vascular thrombosis, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins in the massage area.

Honey anti-cellulite massage ^

Honey anti-cellulite massage is an extremely effective and unique way to fight cellulite, known since the days of Ancient Tibet. The content of honey almost half of the table Mendeleev provides nutrition not only to the skin, but also to the muscles, many internal organs and tissues. In addition, the unique effect of honey on the skin and the entire body is that it absorbs all toxins and toxins, literally sucking them through the pores of the skin.

For massage you can use only 100% natural honey, without impurities and not subjected to significant heat treatment. It is advisable to buy it from acquaintances of beekeepers, or from very tested trademarks that exclude the possibility of forgery. Candied honey can not be heated directly or in a microwave, only a warm( not hot) water bath is allowed.

The technique is as follows:

• It is recommended to warm up the skin slightly before honey massage, after 3 - 5 minutes, gentle kneading.
• Then the honey slowly rubs into the heated skin until it starts to thicken, making massage movements impossible.
• After this tactic changes - the palms first tightly pressed against the body, and then abruptly pulled back. Such shuffling is continued until the skin turns red, and honey does not darken and does not lie in gray flakes. Usually this takes 8 to 15 minutes.
• The flakes formed from the remnants of honey are removed by means of a hot compress and then transferred to the massaging of another part of the body.
• After complete massage, you need to thoroughly wash yourself under the shower, since used honey, absorbed into harmful substances, is extremely toxic.
• After the water treatment, apply a moisturizer to the skin.

As you can see, the technique of honey massage is quite simple, but, unfortunately, it is very painful. And, if you were not hurt, then the massage simply failed. Useful advice - with massaged zones, you must remove the hairs beforehand so that the massage does not turn into real torture.

In the first sessions, if it is impossible to endure the pain, it is allowed to massage not with the entire palm, but with the pads of the fingers until the skin becomes less susceptible. In addition, during the first procedures, the palm rest can be carried out more gently, subsequently making them more harsh. In this case, no additional slaps and pressure on the skin to produce is not necessary.

The most effective course is a course of honey anti-cellulite massage of 12 to 15 procedures performed every other day. It is contraindicated only with allergies to honey and with weak, located close to the surface of the skin vessels.

Since cellulite is a problem that has not been taken into consideration for years, it needs to be approached in a comprehensive way - besides the recommended massage techniques, it is necessary to eliminate the causes of cellulite, to part with bad habits, and to normalize one's diet and lifestyle.
