Modern studies have shown that the so-called orange peel on the hips is not a disease, but a completely normal skin structure. But, despite this, women continue to actively struggle for an ideal body, using a variety of methods. But creams are not able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, they act only on the surface and help few people. And diets are not effective at all - many fragile by nature girls also face the problem of cellulite. Therefore, it becomes clear that the best means of struggle is a special massage.
Not everyone has the financial opportunity to turn to a real professional who is able to literally fashion a perfect body in just a few sessions. And few people can do manual massage on their own. An anti-cellulite body massager can ease the task. The main thing is not to get confused in their huge variety.
Manual mechanical massagers
Such massagers can be found in any pharmacy. They are made, as a rule, of plastic or wood. There are a variety of forms: drops, antennae, balls. This also includes massagers in the form of rollers and ribbons, which can be used to quickly walk over a large area of the skin, which greatly speeds up and simplifies the procedure.
The main advantage of such devices is their low price and widespread availability. They allow you to act quite strongly on the skin, glide well, and many of them can be used without special oil. But the body massager anti-cellulite (manual) is not without drawbacks: to work out problem areas well, you need to spend a lot of physical effort. There can be no talk of any effect if you drive them on the skin without pressure. But with proper efforts, a manual massager will become not only a reliable assistant in the fight against cellulite, but also a lifesaver for pain in the back, legs and other parts of the body.
Massage Wooden Brushes
Wooden brushes are designed for use in the bathroom or sauna. They can be both combined and separate. In the first case, on one side there will be hard natural bristles, and on the other, wooden fingers fixed on a rubber cushion. For greater effectiveness, they can be used in combination, but individually they have a fairly strong effect.
The bristly part perfectly exfoliates and warms the surface of the skin, improves blood circulation. It allows you to gently handle sensitive places: the inner thighs, lower abdomen. Forceful influence on these zones is prohibited, but they need to be given attention. And the stubble does an excellent job of this.
Wooden fingers act as a very effective anti-cellulite body massager. Reviews of many women confirm the fact that you can get rid of orange peel using only this tool. However, it also requires the application of physical force to achieve maximum effect.
Silicone cans
Probably the best anti-cellulite body massager in terms of price / ease of use - silicone cans. They are sold in all pharmacies and are really inexpensive, and the effectiveness of vacuum massage has long been confirmed by practical results.
Silicone cans replaced glass ones, which are inconvenient to use because of the need to heat the air inside the vessel. Now, canned massage can be done by anyone, without any special skills. The vacuum effect helps to improve lymph flow and easily breaks fat lumps.
When using silicone cans, you need to be very careful, because it is easy to overdo it with pressure - then the skin will retract too much and a bruise will form. This must not be allowed.
Vacuum massage devices
These appliances are the next step after silicone cans. They act on the same principle and are often used in beauty salons. Of course, models for home and professional use differ greatly in their capabilities and price. But even an inexpensive model is easier and more pleasant to use than banks.
The vacuum anti-cellulite body massager is conveniently used for treating large areas of the skin, since it almost does not require the application of physical strength. In addition, you can adjust the absorption power, which will protect the skin from bruising.
Electrical appliances with interchangeable nozzles
Such devices are intended for a comprehensive fight against cellulite. The kit, as a rule, includes several different nozzles: with rollers, fingers, waves, abrasive coating. Many anti-cellulite body massagers (electric) are equipped with infrared lamps and vibration, which, combined with mechanical action, provides maximum efficiency.
At the same time, in addition to the fight against cellulite, they also have other actions. Vibration accelerates metabolic processes in tissues, improves skin condition, relaxes muscles, and therefore, relieves fatigue. An infrared beam enhances blood circulation and stimulates the outflow of lymph, promoting fat burning.
But here there are pitfalls. Many devices do not have sufficient power, and have only a superficial effect. But there are models, such as the Gezatone “Body Sculptor” anti-cellulite body massager, which have long been on the market and have established themselves well.
Belt vibrators
Models of anti-cellulite massagers with straps are not as popular as other types of devices. Despite the fact that vibration and nozzles of various shapes help well in the fight against uneven skin, it is impossible to carefully work out all the necessary parts of the body with such an apparatus. Therefore, its effectiveness is low. And the price, on the contrary, can be compared with the cost of professional vacuum devices.
But such an anti-cellulite massager for the body will surely appeal to the lazy - you absolutely do not need to do anything. Just turn it on and wait until the program ends.
General rules for anti-cellulite massage
In general, it is not so important which body cellulite massager to choose. The best device will be ineffective if you do not follow the basic principles of the procedure:
- Before you start, you need to warm up the surface to be treated.
- Massage in the direction of lymph flow.
- After completing, soothe the skin: moisturize or mask.
To warm up, do not use swimming in hot water. The best option is a warming anti-cellulite cream or a light massage with hands: stroking, rubbing, tingling.
In order to quickly achieve the desired results and avoid undesirable consequences, all actions are performed in the direction of lymph flow. From the navel, massage movements are directed downward, and along the hips - upward, to the groin area. Hands work from the tips of the fingers to the shoulders. Back - in the same direction.
After completing the massage of all problem areas, it is best to consolidate the result by making a special wrap. It moisturizes and nourishes the skin, helps the speedy healing of minor injuries.
Procedure Recommendations
The effects of massage are controlled in such a way as to avoid the formation of bruises or bruises. There should be no residue on the skin except temporary redness. Otherwise, the massage will not bring benefits, but only harm.
Using any anti-cellulite massager for the body, one or two procedures to achieve a visible effect can not be dispensed with. As a rule, the first results appear already 4-5 times. But at least 10 procedures are needed. Depending on the strength of the effect, they can be repeated every day or every other day.
Contraindications
With all the advantages of anti-cellulite massage, in no case should you forget about contraindications. Among them:
- Skin diseases.
- Inflammatory and purulent processes.
- Neoplasms of various genesis.
- Vascular network or varicose veins.
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases.
- Tuberculosis.
If any of these conditions is present, massage should be discarded. Smooth skin of the abdomen and buttocks is not worth the damage from possible side effects.
