Honey anti-cellulite massage

Typically, experts use linden or buckwheat honey, which add sea salt, coffee (infused in a dark place for 7 days), essential oils – depending on the needs of the patient. They are rich in antioxidants, help fight cellulite and have a restorative effect on the whole organism.

First, it is advisable to go to the bath or sauna, but if this is not possible, then an ordinary hot shower is suitable. Next, you need to apply honey or a pre-prepared mixture and you can proceed.

Throughout the entire session, which lasts no more than 15 minutes (every other day), the specialist’s hands are firmly pressed to the body, and then abruptly come off. With each subsequent pressing, the pressing intensity and the separation force should increase. This technique allows honey to penetrate the skin faster.

If everything is done correctly, then after the end of the lesson, the masseur will have a gray, viscous mass instead of honey – this is th
e epithelium and toxins. Further, it is desirable to wash the skin with warm water and lubricate with a moisturizer or lotion.

They are easy to operate and convenient to use at home. For example, the Gezatone brand produces electric massagers. They come with rollers and rollers.

The basis of the work of all devices is a combined type of massage, with which the skin is smoothed and massaged at the same time.

The principle of their action is this – the device creates a small fold and, holding it, moves along the surface of the body.

Apparatus for massage against cellulite can be multifunctional and monofunctional.

Anti-cellulite brush massage

This species is considered the cheapest, but effective. To carry out, you only need a brush with a natural pile (the degree of hardness is determined individually), without additional funds in the form of creams and oils, since this massage is dry.

Anti-cellulite massage at home with a brush cannot be carried out in the groin, on the inside of the thighs and under the knees. The movements should be smooth and directed from top to bottom, with an average degree of pressure. The procedure is carried out every day for 1-2 months.

How to massage yourself at home

Massage at home is done not only with the help of hands, but also with the help of:

• brushes;
• cans;
• spoons.

Features and techniques of manual, can and massage using a brush are described above, but not many people know about the technique using spoons.

Massage with spoons according to the method of Koch

For a massage, you will need either special spoons, or ordinary in the amount of 2 pieces. spoons are heated or cooled, depending on preference. As a lubricant, oil or honey is used.

The hips are massaged in a circular motion, slightly pressing. Start from the inside of the thigh, finish the outside.

For the buttocks you will need larger spoons than for the hips. It is also massaged in circular motions – from the middle to the sides and from the bottom up. To massage the abdomen, the devices are cooled. The direction of movement is in a spiral.

Rolling pin massage

For massage with a rolling pin, it is recommended to purchase a new kitchen item, smooth or with pimples. The second option is preferable. The principle of preparation is the same as in other cases.

To achieve maximum effect and to avoid bruising, the rolling pin should slide slowly, without pressing hard. After the procedure, you need to take a shower and lubricate the body with a moisturizer.

Plastic bottle massage

When using a plastic bottle, tricks such as rolling, cycling, and kneading are used. Massage begins from the back, rolling the rolling pin from the lower back to the neck, along the spine. If this is self-massage, then you need to lie on the bottle with your back so that you can roll it, adhering to the technique.

Kneading is carried out in a circular motion and resembles the grinding of nuts in a mortar. With the help of this exercise, the lateral muscles, neck, shoulder blades, and calves are well worked out. To knead the buttocks, a more intense rolling approach, reminiscent of riding a bicycle, or rather pedaling, is suitable.

The procedure breaks down stagnant processes in the muscles, improves blood circulation, gives energy.

When the result will be visible

Experts note that the effect will be visible after 7-8 procedures. It all depends on how susceptible the body is. Initially, 10 sessions are prescribed, and then, depending on the situation, the number increases to 15.

After achieving the desired effect, it is recommended to go through another 2-3 sessions to consolidate the result.

There is no point in going through more than 15 sessions, since after the 15th time the opposite effect begins to appear.

This happens because blood circulation, collagen production and softening of fatty subcutaneous cells begins to slow down.

The body gets used to the constant effect on the dermis and stops responding. In such a situation, the sessions should be stopped and the course repeated no earlier than after half a year or a year.

Possible complications

Despite the apparent safety, the procedure can also lead to complications:

• soreness;
• redness of the skin;
• bruising and bruising;
• edema.

It is believed that after the first session, small bruises (no hematomas, no bruising) are the norm. An experienced specialist never leaves bruises. Although this also depends on the patient’s skin condition, sensitivity, tendency to hematomas.

What to do after the procedure

There are certain rules of behavior after massage, which will allow you to quickly bring the figure and skin to the desired appearance. If you do not allow the body to rest after a session, then the effect will decrease. Therefore, you can not immediately rise, it is better to lie down for about half an hour, give the muscles and spine a rest. Then you should drink 200 g of green tea or water.

Anti-cellulite massage performed at home gives good results, eliminating the orange peel, giving the skin smoothness and elasticity.
