Mostwomen sooner or later face the problem of "orange peel".Since it is not a disease, some women do not pay attention to it. But still a significant part of them try to deal with this aesthetic problem, usually using cosmetics. About how the anti-cellulite cream should be used depending on its kind, we will tell in this publication.
The effect of the cream
The retail network offers a wide range of anti-cellulite creams, all of which are aimed at the following results:
- increases the elasticity of the skin;
- eliminates or reduces "hillocks" and "depressions" in problem areas;
- cleaves adipose tissue;
- helps to reduce volumes;
- normalizes the metabolism;
- interferes with the appearance of new body fat;
- increase blood circulation;
- moisturize and nourish the skin;
- strengthens the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, which is the prevention of varicose veins;
- remove excess fluid, removing the swelling.
Results of the application of the cream usually appear not earlier than a week. But it also happens that even after a month of procedures there are no visible changes. The lack of a positive effect can be caused by a number of reasons:
- Hormonal disorders. If the cause of cellulite is a breakdown in metabolism, then initially you need to undergo a course of treatment and only then turn to the help of cosmetics.
- Incorrect food, that is, eating a lot of fatty, smoked and salty foods.
- A sedentary lifestyle.
- Episodic, non-systematic use of medicinal composition.
- Cream application without preliminary preparation of the problem area.
- Purchase of ineffective drug, which does not contain the majority of components that eliminate the effect of "orange peel".
The composition of the cream
The effectiveness of anti-cellulite cosmetics directly depends on the ingredients that the manufacturer includes in their composition. To purchase the right product, you need to find out if there are ingredients in it that will help solve a particular problem. So, what can be contained in a medical cosmetic preparation:
- Extracts and extracts from plants that increase the tone of blood vessels and stimulate metabolism. These include: horsetail, hawthorn, horse chestnut, St. John's wort, lotus, pineapple, ivy, labaznik.
- Essential oils( conifers, cypress, juniper, lavender, rose, citrus, rosemary, mint), which relieve the body of excess fluid and give the skin firmness and tightness.

- Extracts of algae( usually laminaria or fucus) that purify lymph from accumulated toxins and toxins, making the skin more elastic. In addition, they prevent the formation of subcutaneous fat.
- Burning substances, for example: nicotine, pepper, camphor. Due to their heating properties, they stimulate blood circulation, destroying fat cells.
- Mineral salts( sodium, calcium and potassium chlorides), removing unnecessary water and harmful substances from the body.
- Caffeine, capable of converting fats into energy and accelerating metabolic processes.
- Vitamins E, A, C, P and group B, which have a diverse beneficial effect on epidermal cells.
- Abrasive impurities for peeling problem areas. These include, for example, crushed grape or apricot kernels, sea salt, natural ground coffee.

To scrub the expected effect on the skin, you need to follow several rules:

All anti-cellulite scrubs for massage, which are offered by manufacturers of cosmetics, can be divided into several categories.
- Hot. After their application on the skin, there is a burning sensation. Its intensity depends on the composition of the agent. In this category, you can note the cream of the following manufacturers:

Thermal massage
Anti-cellulite thermocream is even more popular than scrub, because it can be used daily. Thanks to its constituent burning substances, the product significantly warms the skin. Due to this, the blood flow to the problem areas is increased, the pores are opened, the capillaries expand. As a result, the beneficial components exert a more intense effect on the epidermis and subcutaneous layers.
This kind of cream is used in this order:
- Dirt and keratinized particles are removed from the skin.
- A small amount of the drug is applied only to the right parts of the body.
- Do not apply thermo-cream on top of another cosmetic product, for example, scrub. This can reduce the effectiveness of each drug due to the mixing of components.
- Massage the skin from the bottom up until the composition is completely absorbed. Usually the duration of the procedure is 5-7 minutes.
- For better effect, you can use a relief mitten, a massage brush, a mechanical or vacuum massage. But in any case, the skin must be grinded first.
- Immediately after the beginning of the massage on the skin appears burning and it acquires a red color because of the intense tide of blood.
- The thermocream can be alternated with an anti-cellulite scrub.
Anti-cellulite cream for massage is recommended to use according to the following scheme:
- Daily in the first week in the morning or in the evening.
- Then 2-3 times a week from the eighth day from the beginning of application.
Types of massage
Massage with any anti-cellulite cream can be done in two ways: circular and plucked. Let us dwell in more detail on each of them.
- With circular massage:
- On the clean surface of the skin a little cream is applied.
- Within a few minutes the problem place is rubbed with the palms clockwise.
- Gradually, the speed and strength of the movements should increase. The process continues until the skin becomes red and the cream is completely absorbed.
- Rubbing starts from the bottom of the problem area, gradually rising up. So, the hips are massaged from the knee to the bikini zone, the inside of the hands - from the elbow to the forearm, the buttocks - from the legs, moving to the waist, the abdomen from the pubis to the diaphragm.
- Each cycle must be repeated at least 8-10 times.
- With pinching massage:
- Anti-cellulite cream is applied to cleansed areas of the body.
- With the help of the index finger and the thumb, the epidermis is captured.
- Then it rises and pulls up.
- The action is repeated at different locations in the problem area until the skin turns red and the cream is absorbed without residue.
Wrapping
A good means for splitting fat cells and removing excess fluid from the body are wrapping problem areas with anti-cellulite cream. Wraps are hot and cold.
To combat the "orange peel", they are usually used in the complex. First, a thermal procedure is carried out, and then a contrast cooling compress is performed. 
Hot wraps
They are designed to solve the following tasks:

They narrow the pores of the skin and vessels, causing lymph drainage along with harmful substances. As a result, the tone of the skin increases significantly and edema disappears, as well as the manifestation of varicose veins. In addition, in order to increase the temperature, the body begins actively to convert fatty tissue into energy.
For the procedure are required:
- polyethylene film;

Cold wrap is carried out in the following way:
- Cool anti-cellulite cream is applied to clean, dried skin.

- Compresses on the body the same time as when wrapped hot.
- The remnants of the cream are washed off with warm or cool water without soap.
- Problem areas are lubricated with a nutritious or moisturizing cream.
This type of wrap should be abandoned to women suffering from cystitis or gynecological diseases, as well as pregnant and lactating mothers.
The following preparations are suitable for contrast wrapping:
- "Wrap Cream" and "Cooling Cream Mask" by the Italian company "Guam";
- "Pineapple warming cream mask" and "Tomato cream mask" for cold wrapping of the Russian company "Velinia";
