How Cellulite Lotion Works
Cellulite lotion is one of the many products on the market
to help combat cellulite. Cellulite is most often a concern for women, not
men. It refers to the dimpled skin that usually appears on the thighs and
buttocks. It is not related to weight and can effect anyone of any age.
Cellulite is essentially trapped pockets of fat. As
mentioned, though, a person does not have to be overweight to get it.
Everyone has fat in their body and cellulite is simply fat that has been
trapped in a pocket and gives the characteristic dimpled look to the skin.
The main cause of cellulite is hormones. The retention and loss of water aid
cellulite in forming. Once a part of the skin has been worn down and the
connective tissues stretched, cellulite forms.
Cellulite lotion works on a superficial level verses
actually getting rid of the cellulite. It is rubbed onto the area and helps
to plump up the skin, filling in the areas and reducing the visibility of
cellulite. It is a temporary effect, so the lotion has to be used regularly
to keep cellulite hidden.
Some cellulite lotions contain aminophylline which is
thought to actually go through the skin to the bloodstream. Lotions
containing this are thought to do more than simply hide cellulite but may
actually diminish it over time. These lotions are heat sensitive and also
expire quickly.
Cellulite lotion may also contain retinal. Retinal is
destroyed by light so these creams are used at night. Retinal is thought to
help aid in breaking down cellulite. However, it is known that retinal does
help to smooth and soften skin, so these lotions will help to reduce the
look of cellulite.
Cellulite lotions may also contain things like caffeine and
herbs. These lotions also work to help improve the skin tone and overall
look of the skin, making it healthier looking and reducing the visibility of
cellulite.
While a cure for cellulite is not known, products like a
lotion are used by many people. They can help to make cellulite less visible
and therefore are the closest thing to a cure available. It is important for
a person to keep in mind, though, that to keep the results they must use the
product on a regular consistent basis.
Cellulite is something that is being fought on an on going
basis. Products are constantly being developed and revamped to work towards
a complete solution that will eliminate cellulite. Using cellulite lotions,
though, can provide temporary results and used regularly can really help
diminish the visibility of cellulite.
