Anti-Cellulite Answers

For belly fat, don't drink beer, eat organic foods and work out both aerobically and with weights. Weights are especially important as that will increase your metabolism. For your aerobic work outs, make sure to work out for at leas 25 minutes because it takes that long for the body to start removing fat deposits for energy requirements.

For cellulite, squats, butt lifts, lunges and ham string excercises work best.
Also, you can check out Velasmooth, Endermologie and Mesotherapy.

Cellulite is caused by two things, 1) Fatty tissue and 2) Connective tissue.

The first can be taken care of primarily by diet and working out. Drink your fair share of water, don't eat too much and work out to maintain your metabolism.

The second is more problematic and gets worse as you age because collagen is not regenerated so the tissue becomes less elastic and of course most people gain weight as they age because of a less active life style and a drop in metabolism. This is where Velasmooth or mesotherapy come in handy.

The attached site has more info or you can call 888.517.4187 for someone who does the cellulite treatments.

I have heard Mary Kay has a good product. It works wonders. Call any consultant. She will be able to guide you.

IM YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!!! LOL Im 24 and im 9 months pregnant with my 4rth Ive dona ALOT of research and pure products are the best!! lotions at the stores are only dilluted and full of ingredients that arent good for skin Whenever you buy a product make sure to look at the ingredients first example, if you want cocoa butter the only ingredient should be cocoa butter not water,mineral oil, stearic acid, cetyl alcohol etc….I have 2 great recipes for you and they are working great for me!! I didnt use anything (besides regular lotion) with my first 3 Big Mistake!! This time i did the research and my skin even at 9 months pregnant is glowing and smooth

My homemade recipes
1 cup olive oil
1 cup coconut oil
2 oz vitamin e oil (10-12 capsules)
6 vitamin a capsules
Heat on low to melt coconut oil and blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil

6-8oz cocoa butter(this one is my fave)
6 oz almond oil
4 oz coconut oil
2 oz vitamin e oil
6 vitamin a capsules
Heat on low to melt coconut oil and cocoa butter blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil

First i exfoliate (great for removing dead skin cells and rejuvinating skin) basically it wakes up your skin and prepares it to absorb moisture at its best Get a loofah and your bodywash of choice prefferably with exfoliating beads scrub in circular motions for a good 1-3 minutes than apply oil within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower its recommended to massage into skin so i spend about 3 minutes massaging into my skin

My old stretch marks from 5 years back are even improving!!
Ive only been doing this for 2 months now and my skin is smoother the redness is fading more everyday its said that it takes a good 6 months to heal but its definetly worth it and remember they are always going to be there but you can dramatically fade and heal them if you do this daily You shouldnt have a problem either since this is your first and your doing this early before the marks get older and more permanent I wish i would have!!! And use when pregnant again this will 100% prevent new marks

Here are some more recipes not my own but recommended

1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

All of this applies to cellulite also exfoliation is one of the best things to do for cellulite also eat healthy and drink lots of water exercise and toning will do wonders too YOU CAN GET RID OF IT i am living proof!! lol

The good news is: There are definitely procedures out there that will help you get rid of stretchmarks and cellulite. Unfortunately, you cant get rid of stretchmarks…for the most part, it's genetic and you will either get them from pregnancy or weight gain…or you won't. In order to treat the marks and cellulite you do have, you can consider a few techniques.

Stretch Marks: Treat them when they're new and/or pink! The fresher the marks are, the easier they are to get rid of. Microderm and laser treatments in conjunction with topical treatments are very effective methods for fading or eliminating your stretch marks. You will need a series of treatments (depending on your situation). Free consultations are available at any good medspa or laser clinic, and they should be able to tell you exactly what you can expect as far as the treatment, # of sessions, results, and cost.

For cellulite, there's a range of treatments from more invasive surgical options such as tumescent liposuction, SmarLipo…or minimally invasive options like Endermologie (massage) or Mesotherapy (saline injections). Another treatment, called VelaSmooth is a laser procedure that is also effective at melting fat deposits. Remember, these treatments are effective for people with excercise resistant fat cells and NOT for people with moderate to extreme weight problems. In other words, this is for toning, not for weight loss. Hope this helps. Check out the link below for more info and for clinics and medspa in your area. Go in for a consultation…it's definitely worth your time!

I collected this "Home Remedies for Stretch Marks" from several websites & friends' secret recipes, as some over the counter creams may not be effective & also costy..
Good Luck

Dietary Factors

•Vit. C Supplement (1000 mg daily internally) – Increases collagen but not other necessary skin proteins.
•Eat nuts and seeds and take zinc and vitamins A, C, D, E, and B-complex as a preventative measure.
•Drink 2 liters of water daily to keep skin hydrated and moisturized.

Subcision (needling)

Break up the tissue to signal your body to produce more collagen, therefore, filling in the stretch mark. You do this with a skin roller. The needles injure the upper 1-2 mm of the dermis. This injury causes localized damage and bleeding. This will promote the normal post-traumatic infiltration of fibroblasts and the release of growth factors.

Homemade Stretch Mark Exfoliate

•With the help of a wet washcloth, exfoliate your skin first. Take ½ tsp of olive oil, cod liver oil and aloe Vera gel and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Apply this mixture to the affected area or you can even apply it to the whole body as anti-aging skin treatment.
•Take sugar, cod liver oil, olive oil, aloe Vera gel and Vitamin E crème or oil. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and massage gently on the affected area. This mixture acts as an excellent exfoliating scrub and stimulates the blood flow.
•5 tbsp of scrub, 1 tsp aloe Vera, 1/2 tsp vitamin e, 1 tsp coco butter. Massage it over your stretch marks for a few minutes. Do it after you showered and before you go to sleep. Blot the areas your going to massage to maintain moisture. Do not put allot of pressure but focusing only on the skin, for about 3 minutes on each spot. Then use a bath sponge or loofa or towel for 3 minutes then rinse.
•Body scrub (mix with a little olive oil), cod liver oil, vitamin E oil/cream and aloe Vera gel. Exfoliate first but always make sure that you are scrubbing towards the heart – this stimulates more blood flow and is great for getting rid of cellulite.
•Using MicroDermabrasion System (Neutrogena, bought in stores) on stretch marks, about 3 mins on each mark in small upward circles. Then rinse the area with warm water and pat dry. After that, apply Vitamin E oil all over the area.

Homemade Stretch Mark Cream & Lotion

- 1/4 cup Cocoa Butter, 1 tbsp. wheat germ oil, 1tsp. light sesame seed oil, 1tsp. Apricot kernel oil, 1tsp. Vitamin E oil, 2 tsp. grated beeswax, 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional).
Mix together all ingredients except vanilla extract. Heats gently until the cocoa butter and beeswax have melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool completely. Store in a clean jar with a tight fitting lid. Massage into your skin.
- ½ cup of cocoa butter, 2 tsp of sesame seed oil, 2 tsp of Vitamin E oil,1 tsp of apricot kernel oil, 2 tbsp of wheat germ oil and 4 tsp of grated beeswax.
In a pan mix all the ingredients and heat it gently until beeswax and cocoa butter melts. Cool the mixture after removing it from the heat. Gently massage your affected area with this homemade stretch mark crème.
- 1/2 virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup aloe Vera gel, contents of 6 capsules of vitamin E, Contents of 4 capsules of vitamin A
Mix all ingredients using a blender and store the mixture in the refrigerator. For best results use daily.
- Mix 3 oz of the Vit. E, 3 oz of the MSM lotion, 3 oz of Rose Hip Oil and 3 oz of emu oil (refined) – and then shake it well to mix it up. (note: Keep it cool, do not store in sun or heat) Then pump and massage into skin. Since Emu oil is carrier oil, it gets the Vit. E, Rose Hip Oil and MSM down to the deepest layers of skin.
Effective Oils
•Vitamin E Oil – Apply Vitamin E oil after taking a shower. Do not wipe it off. Apply daily. If you don't shower every day, clean the stretch mark area with a wet cloth and apply. You can cover the area with band-aids or gauze (use medical tape to secure).
•Olive Oil – For prevention, put olive oil on all areas that could be affected by stretch marks twice a day. Cover with a warm-hot washcloth. Leave on until rag is cold. Should notice improvement within the first few times. (Also works for wrinkle prevention.)
•100% pure mink oil, rub in twice daily until stretch marks are totally gone.
•Flaxseed Oil-Rub flaxseed oil on stretch marks after showering and again before bed.
•Applying lavender oil on the marks thrice a day will fade up the marks soon.
•Mix one ounce of carrier oil (avocado, sweet almond, jojoba, they are the best) with seven drops of lavender and five drops of chamomile.
•Rub castor oil on the stretch marks, rap with a plastic rap and place a hot pad on. Leave it on for 20-25 minutes and wash off.
•Use various essential herbal oils like avocado, rosehip, kukui, emu, neroli, chamomile, helychrysum, almond, camellia, etc. These essential oils are known for their healing as well as moisturizing properties.

Other Ingredients

•Grind coffee into a powder and mix it with hand lotion. Rub into stretch marks for about 60 seconds and wipe off with a warm towel. Apply twice daily. Results take about two weeks.
•Use the fresh aloe Vera gel on the affected area. Allow it to dry on the night and rinse off with warm water in the morning. It assists in the flexibility of the skin in order that as one stretches in the pregnancy, one will not find any stretch marks.
•Use plain yogurt, mixed with a little thyme, and rub it on the places with stretch marks. It also makes you feel like a bunch of dirt has come of those places.
•Egg white and egg white powders are greatly effective in treating stretch marks. As they are rich in protein, they provide protein to the skin. This will completely remove stretch marks.
•Cocoa & Shea butter is also effective in fading stretch marks. Shea butter acts as a hypoallergenic natural moisturizer which smooth your skin remarkably.
•Bath using a discoloration bar.
