The early days of summer never fail to reveal some cellulitic swimsuits and short-dressed thighs. It is a natural fact of life for women, especially due to hormonal changes, lifestyle, diet, and genetics. During adolescence, pregnancy, and women are more prone to developing cellulite due to the inevitable fluctuations in hormones. Unsightly, lumpy depressions in the skin can also be the result of toxin buildup in the body that pushes fatty tissue into the subdermal layer.
internal cleaning
There are ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite naturally. For starters, we can remember to eliminate toxins from our bodies by staying hydrated. An organic green tea cleanse is a great way to give your body an internal cleanse while managing your weight.
Apply skin care oils
Neroli, Juniper Berry, Geranium, Orange and Lime Oil nourish the skin while stimulating blood circulation to reduce cellulite. When combined with Mandarin and Almond oils, Neroli promotes cell growth and strengthens thin skin by naturally eliminating the appearance of cellulite. Slow blood circulation can cause pockets of fatty tissue to build up on the skin, but these topically applied oils create a natural flow that inhibits cellulite formation.
move and feed your body
Nothing gets your blood pumping like exercise. A daily workout that makes you sweat is a two-pronged solution to lumpy meat syndrome. You’ll sweat releasing toxins, while building muscle that pushes cellulite to the side, out of sight. A diet that matches your exercise routine will lead to smooth skin “without cottage cheese.” And by diet, I mean balance: sourcing all the food groups with a smorgasbord of organic whole foods.
Elastic Skin or Stretch Marks?
After an episode of weight gain and loss; pregnancy or the growth spurt of adolescence, you may one day look at your skin and discover, you guessed it, stretch marks. As we age, our skin doesn’t bounce back like it used to when stretched beyond its capacity – that’s when stretch marks appear. It can be hard to avoid in a lifetime of growing on our skin, but nature has provided some truly trusted botanicals to remedy your Elasti-Girl blues.
That same bottle of Neroli oil you bought to treat cellulite can also be applied to minimize stretch marks on your skin. Dehydration can lead to loss of elasticity and that’s when these marks take over your otherwise smooth skin.
With that in mind, lather and drench skin in moisture-rich cocoa butter and shea butter. These ancient skin care butters not only hydrate, but also help your skin retain moisture for long periods of time, longer than any moisturizing remedy. They naturally erase blemishes in no time and thoroughly nourish below the epidermal layer for ultra-healthy, vibrant skin that defies visible signs of aging as well as stretch marks.
