DO IT YOURSELF ANTICELLULITE MASSAGE TIPS!
These 6 easy self-massage tips will help you to reduce cellulite. For the best results these techniques need to be performed on a daily bases in addition to a healthy diet and a regular sport activity.
Each technique will be repeated for at least 2 minutes.
1. Preparation: Apply oil, starting from the knee and moving upwards. Rub and massage lightly in order to get the blood circulation going.
2.Kneading massage: Use both hands and fingers in a squeeze-and-lift type of massage. Imagen you’re kneading bread dough. This technique eliminates waste deposits and brings the blood closer to the surface.
3.Knuckle massage: Use your fists to crush into the areas where cellulite is visible. By pressing hard enough the fat deposits will be broken up. The metabolism will then evacuate these deposits.
4. “S” massage: Hold the cellulite in both hands, lift and then twist the surface in opposite directions as if to form the letter “S” with the folds. Repeat this movement in both directions throughout the treated area.
5. Wringing massage: Relax your muscles. Grasp portions of flesh with both hands and twist as if wringing out a wet towel. Use this massage on thighs and hip areas.
6. To end: Finish with heavy stroking of deep pressure massage. Starting from the knees and upwards. You can use your palms and knuckles. This is to encourage the upward flow of freed deposits to their ultimate elimination by metabolic action of lymphatic drainage and blood flow.
