The time available is short, but the desire to improve the silhouette is burning. If, on the one hand, realistically, one cannot count on the support of minimally invasive aesthetic medicine methods such as, for example, carboxytherapy (which involves the injection of carbon dioxide into the subcutaneous to facilitate the drainage of stagnant liquids) because the time available is short (in fact, in general, 6 to 20 sessions are required to be repeated on a weekly basis to obtain appreciable results), much can be done by adopting the strategies developed by the professionals of the beauty centers. Rosanna D’Ambra, skin coach of Image Skincare in Milan, has developed one: the last minute anti-cellulite program, which helps to realize the project of freeing yourself in a short time of swelling and cushions that accompany cellulite.
The last-minute anti-cellulite program
It does not solve the problem but it lightens the figure in two weeks. “Swellings and pads that aggravate cellulite on the buttocks, thighs and hips can be counteracted with a last-minute targeted strategy that includes 4 points: two weekly meetings in a beauty salon with a super-effective treatment that gives immediate, simple results food advice, the introduction of a minimum of physical activity and the use of a targeted cosmetic»Explains Rosanna Dambra.
The last minute professional anti-cellulite treatment
Botanical ingredients, algae extracts and a precise application protocol are the soul of the internationally awarded procedure Bioslimming, which the expert suggests to resort to at least twice a week as an essential phase of the last minute anti-cellulite program. «The massage with stimulating and purifying essential oils associated with the pack with a cocktail of agents of vegetable origin warms and cools the subcutaneous tissue, activating the process that stimulates the fibers that support the skin. Visually, the skin is tighter and the orange peel improves already after the first session ”, explains Rosanna Dambra.
Anti-cellulite cosmetics: how to use them
In the last minute anti-cellulite program, the targeted treatments are used twice a day, morning and evening. «The ideal time is after a bath or shower, when the skin is perfectly clean and, therefore, able to better absorb the active ingredients contained in the products», explains the skin coach. To strengthen, then, it is good to proceed following a precise scheme:
to. the cosmetic should be distributed on the affected areas while remaining in an upright position, placing one foot on the edge of the tub. The posture also favors the effectiveness of the cosmetic, because the application made with the palms of the open hands is done with movements that go from the bottom up, that is in the direction that favors the venous and lymphatic return;
b. pour a walnut of cosmetic into the palm of your hand which is initially spread with fast and delicate circular movements, performed with an open hand, always starting from the ankle and going up to the buttock;
c. to promote absorption, surround the ankle with both hands and go up to the thigh maintaining a gentle but regular pressure. This movement must be repeated ten times. When the absorption is complete, the operation is repeated with the other leg;
d. continue with the application of another dose of product where necessary, which must be absorbed with circular and rapid strokes;
And. the final phase involves a slight pinching, performed with thumb and forefinger, on the points involved in the treatment, making sure that the movement is not too strong or violent in order not to inflame the cellulite tissue and damage the capillaries.
THE do-it-yourself drainage bandages deserve a separate discussion. «These are tissue bandages soaked in a saline solution and ingredients that have the ability to act by osmosis: they attract liquids and restore the correct circulation of the skin tissues. They give immediate but transitory results and are an excellent solution to relieve the sense of tiredness of heavy legs when in addition to cellulite there is also a problem of slowed venous return », explains the expert.
An extra help from anti-cellulite tools
To improve the absorption of draining and reducing cosmetics, specific anti-cellulite massagers help. One of the most proven systems is Elancylwhich has developed a handpiece equipped with very very particular rollers, because it is filled with a specific slimming gel that is released during use in the shower. The cosmetic treatment contains firming and smoothing extracts of ivy and salacia root combined with toning and softening sweet almond and safflower oils.
Nutrition and movement
“These are two factors that contribute to drastically improve the condition of the skin with cellulite”, says Rosanna Dambra. Here are the expert’s tips to make the last minute anti-cellulite program effective.
An unbalanced diet is considered one of the factors that make it worse. ** Here are the foods to reduce immediately … ** salt and salty foods (sausages, aged cheeses, snacks); animal fats (butter, lard, lard); sugars, including those contained in fatty desserts (cream, cream) and carbonated drinks; alcohol and foods with preservatives.
The foods to be favored are water, at least one and a half liters per day; fruits and vegetables; wholemeal bread, pasta and rice; white meats and fish.
Movement is key to seeing results. «It is not essential to go to the gym but a daily walk at a brisk pace and for at least half an hour a day is sufficient. The results in terms of remodeling are so evident and immediate as to surprise even the most skeptical ”, explains the expert.
