Cellulite, let’s expose the hoaxes

The discussion on cellulite remains an evergreen among women of all ages, slim and curvy, tall and short. And if it is perfectly fine to exchange advice and opinions on how to reduce or, even better, prevent the appearance of the skin a Orange peel, the problem is that the conversation on cellulite is often full of completely false information. That’s why we decided it had come the moment of unmask the buffaloes concerning cellulite, clarifying once and for all.

THE 5 MAIN FALSE MYTHS ON THE CELLULITE THEME

1. There are no cosmetic active ingredients effective against orange peel skin
“Many believe that, to reduce orange peel skin, only “strong remedies” are valid, see medical-aesthetic treatments, the costs of which often make them undemocratic ”, recall the spa therapist di Cyprianerhof Resort, part of the Belvita network. «The truth is that there are cosmetic active ingredients that, as long as they are used daily, even twice a day if cellulite is stubborn, they can greatly improve the problem. In the top 5 of the anti cellulite ingredients we find gotu kola, caffeine, aescin, ivy and rosemary».

2. To defeat cellulite you need to lose weight
Pay attention to it: cellulite can be present both on the bodies of thin women and on those of curvy women. “You don’t have to get stuck to solve the problem”, explain the therapists of Cyprianerhof Resort, “but reduce the salt and sugar content in their meals. While the first creates the ideal conditions for the stagnation of liquids, the second stiffens the skin structure, making the skin with cellulite hard and also painful to the touch. Also fundamental drink a lot during the day: water, infusions, herbal teas and plant extracts. Obviously unsweetened, or it’s all over again ».

3. Who has cellulite also has water retention, and vice versa
“Be careful not to confuse water retention and cellulite”, underline the spa therapists. “These are two different issues, which can indeed coexist in some subjects, but they are by no means the same thing. Fluid stagnation is generally triggered by a sedentary lifestyle and a diet rich in salt, while cellulite is a more or less serious alteration of the connective tissue and of the subcutaneous adipose layer, generally hereditary, also influenced by lifestyle. For this reason beauty treatments must always be differentiated depending on what the real problem is “.

4. There are fitness exercises capable of reducing cellulite
«It is one thing to talk about exercises and fitness sequences that are useful for tone the areas of the body affected by cellulite, usually the buttocks, the inner and outer thighs, sometimes the abdomen. But the solicitation of these exercises is exclusively on the muscular level, certainly not solving the problem. However, it should be remembered that exercising regularly is of enormous help, as it activates tissue oxygenation. The water sports, such as swimming, water aerobics and hydrobike, most of all allow to deflate in case of cellulite associated with water retention, as well as reactivating lymphatic and blood circulation.

5. If I have a lot of cellulite it means that I will have to keep it for my whole life

If you suffer from it, however, you must not exclude the possibility of reducing the imperfection, indeed. In these cases it is worthwhile help with medical treatments, above all carboxytherapy, a safe and side-effect-free method that loosens the tissues, orssigenando deeply. It is not a pleasant therapy, but it gives optimal and lasting results ».
