Massage can combat cellulite!!

According to MayoClinic.com, most women have cellulite. This fat often causes skin to dimple and bulge in the affected areas. While several therapies exist for treating cellulite, including ones that involve massage, most do not live up to their claims.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is fat that forms beneath the skin, causing lumpy irregularities over the buttocks, thighs and abdomens of most women. Men may also experience areas of cellulite. The fat deposits protrude into the dermis layer of skin, causing the appearance of dimpling.

The uneven texture of cellulite appears when fat cells build up between fibrous tissues that connect your skin to your underlying muscles. The fat pushes your skin outward while the fibrous bands pull areas of your skin inward, causing the uneven surface.

Treatments for cellulite.

Cellulite treatments that include massage base their techniques and theories on the concept that vigorous massage helps to increase blood circulation, removing toxins and reducing excessive amounts of fluid in areas that contain cellulite.

Dry Brushing daily over a period of time has been proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Essential oils can help alongside massage techniques to reduce cellulite for you. Kernow Sports Massage uses a blend of organic geranium and rosemary oils in organic coconut oil carrier to combat cellulite.

Geranium.

Popularly known for its hormone-balancing effects, geranium essential oil is among the best essential oils for cellulite. It also stimulates blood circulation and helps detoxify the body by stimulating movement of toxins out of the liver and pancreas by opening the bile ducts for detoxification, hence helping eliminate cellulite & prevent more from forming.

Rosemary.

Rosemary essential oil clears cellulite through stimulating circulation in the lymphatic system. A clogged up lymphatic system can worsen the appearance of cellulite. It also helps reduce puffiness and swelling as well as tones and firms the skin by increasing blood flow.

Results.

After a month of massage using our organic essential oil blend alongside a small and achievable increase in activity and healthy eating there were definite results.

Kernow Sports Massage also offers exfoliating salt scrub treatments which also combat the visual signs of cellulite by increasing circulation and breaking down the cells to be worked away by the lymphatic system.
