Cellulite Cream and Treatment for the Perfect Body

By Ila Moave

There are numerous treatments for cellulite. But if you are looking for an easy, non-surgical solution then a good product to use is cellulite cream. There are many popular cellulite lotions and creams available on the market and sheer number of options can make it difficult to decide on which one to buy.

Cellulite is a common condition among women and causes skin in certain areas on the body to become dimpled. It is often found on the hips, buttocks, thighs or stomach because this is where the majority of fat on women is found. Other areas however, can also have the condition. Many women become embarrassed by their cellulite and refuse to put themselves in situations where people can see it, like at the beach or pool.

There is a thin layer of fat underneath the skin which consists of honeycomb like pockets of fat. Sometimes this honeycomb structure weakens and the fat bulges from the pockets. The dimpling of the skin above - called cellulite - starts. As fluid and toxins continue to build the cellulite becomes increasingly worst.

The risk factors for cellulite include a genetic predisposition, aging, a bad diet, caffeine and alcohol. Being overweight can also worsen the condition because the body will add more fat to the layer beneath the skin. Another reason is a lack of water and this makes cellulite worse because the skin thins and loses its strength.

When exploring all the options to get rid of cellulite you should be on the look out for treatments that attack the cause of cellulite directly. You therefore want a cellulite treatment that will remove the fat from the layer beneath the skin, increase the elasticity of the skin and increase the skin's moisture.

When examining the ingredient of a particular cream you will want to make sure that they are known to help the condition. Coffee, green tea and seaweed are well known to help reduce cellulite fat deposits. Emu oil is known to improve the firmness and smoothness of the skin and has been used by Australian aboriginals for centuries to improve skin health.

Other ingredients that are common in cellulite creams include Aloe Vera and Aloe leaf, Hyaluronic Acid and Matrixyl. Hyaluronic improves the moisture of the skin while Matrixyl strengths the skin. There are many other ingredients that can be found to remove cellulite.

You should examine and compare several cellulite creams before deciding on purchasing one. That way you can compare their ingredients and choose one that contains the most effective ingredients.

When looking at cellulite cream as a treatment for this skin condition it can sometimes be easy to forget that there are other methods available. So might want to look in to cellulite cream alternatives like massage, radio waves, laser therapy and wraps that most spa treatment centers have available. - 15438
