The term cellulite has been known since the 19th century, but was not considered a disease to be fought. In 1973, Nicole Ronsard, the owner of a beauty salon who sought to attract customers to her establishment, articles in Vogue magazine launched a massive campaign against cellulite.

Where does it come from? We will tell about the nature of cellulite and how to deal with it at home in this material.

What is cellulite?

Gynoid lipodystrophy or cellulitis is a change in the subcutaneous adipose tissue that leads to impaired blood and lymph circulation.

Due to the stagnation of fluid in the fat layer, fat accumulates unevenly. Outwardly, it looks like bumps and bumps on the skin.

There are 4 stages of cellulite development:

1. 1st stage. At this stage, cellulite is completely invisible, but the circulation of blood and lymph worsens, swelling appears.
2. 2nd stage. When compressed, the skin loses its even appearance. Then a light "orange peel" appears. Paleness and decreased elasticity of the skin are characteristic of this stage.
3. 3rd stage. The skin acquires tubercles and pits, visible without compression.
4. 4th stage. Orange peel becomes more pronounced, pain appears when you press on the affected skin.

The first and second stages of cellulite development are not a reason for excitement - this can be said to be a small cosmetic flaw. But cellulite in the third and fourth stages can cause serious harm to your body, not to mention the appearance.

What causes cellulite?

This problem most often worries women during periods of hormonal changes in the body, such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause. And also in case of violation of the work of blood vessels and lymph flow as a result of:

All citrus essential oils are very good for fat burning, such as lemon, orange and grapefruit.

How does cellulite appear?

A woman of any age and weight can face the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite - this is an incorrect microcirculation in the subcutaneous layer, at which the outflow of lymph and degeneration of fat cells begins. Therefore, even a girl who does not have a single extra kilogram may notice signs of cellulite on her hips.

An important problem with cellulite is the loss of skin elasticity. It is due to the fact that in the normal state, fat cells are small and, when combined into groups, collagen is formed around them. But, when fat cells begin to grow, the size of collagen tissues does not increase, and in places where cellulite appears, the skin ceases to be elastic.

First stage of cellulite

In order to be energetic and have a proper metabolism, we need fats to be converted into calories, and calories, in turn, are burned during physical activity. This transformation is due to the sugar found in natural products. But, if we start eating more, especially sweets, and at the same time do not waste more calories than usual, then stagnation forms in fat cells, which leads to swelling in problem areas. And this means that the first stage of cellulite has begun, which at first glance may be invisible.

Orange peel

Another interesting fact is that it is fat cells that produce endorphins, thanks to which we can feel happy and satisfied with life. If the brain receives a signal that we are in a bad mood or we are disappointed, then the body has a need for additional amounts of leptin. Therefore, we want to eat another piece of cake or an unplanned bun. Accordingly, the appearance of new fat cells and an increase in the size of existing ones are provoked. And as a result of these processes, the appetite is constantly increasing so that the formed cells receive nutrition, metabolic processes in the subcutaneous layer are disturbed, blood and lymph cannot circulate freely. If a person satisfies the needs of an ever-growing appetite, then fat cells can increase 30 times. It is at this point that cellulite is actively developing and an “orange peel” may appear.

Causes of cellulite

Excess weight is a common, but not the only cause of cellulite formations. The influence of the following factors is important:

• postpartum period;
• hormonal changes and changes in the body;
• bad habits;
• quick snacks with a bun, pizza, hamburger, sweets, etc.;
• lack of a constant diet;
• overeating at night;
• passive lifestyle;
• stressful situations;
• weight fluctuations;
• overwork;
• diseases of the thyroid gland, or gynecological, associated with a drop in the hormone estrogen and disruption of the ovaries;
• changes in the protein content in the blood.

How to get rid of cellulite

If you do not yet have cellulite, but you are worried that it may appear, you need to follow a number of preventive measures:

• balance your diet
• waste calories from food
• apply a scrub once a week in particularly vulnerable areas (on the hips, abdomen, inner side of the arm from the elbow to the shoulder);
• to refuse from bad habits.

If cellulite has already appeared, get rid of it will help:

1. reduction in the use of sweet and starchy foods, it is better to refuse it altogether. This will stop the formation of excess fat cells;
2. eat at the same time every day in small portions;
3. physical activity, the more the better. This will stimulate the burning of calories produced and the restoration of proper metabolism;
4. general examination of the body to exclude diseases that affect the occurrence of cellulite;
5. the use of anti-cellulite scrubs, massages and wraps for local restoration of microcirculation and fat metabolism.

Official medicine does not consider cellulite as a disease, on the contrary, it is believed that this is an indispensable characteristic of the subcutaneous fat layer of a woman over 30 years old. But, the modern fashion for a lean appearance, with no signs of fat on the abdomen and hips, makes women get rid of this defect.

In some, it manifests itself in a mild form, while in others it quite thoroughly spoils the figure with orange peel, bumps and pits.

It is located on the hips, buttocks, shoulders, abdomen.

The causes of cellulite development can be:

• The woman is over 30 years old, although the problem is rapidly getting younger;
• Hypodynamia, lack of physical activity, a set of excessive body weight;
• Asthenic type of development, contributing to the deposition of fat and the formation of cellulite;
• Smoking, alcohol and coffee abuse;
• Stressful situations and hormonal problems;
• Pregnancy;
• genetic predisposition.

Cellulite Coffee Scrub

What is the peeling effectiveness of a coffee scrub, or simply coffee grounds? The fact is that the particles of ground coffee beans have a strong cleansing effect. They perfectly clean off dead particles of the epidermis from the surface of the body. But the beneficial properties of the coffee residue are not limited to this.

Unlike the purely mechanical action of other types of scrubs, due to its composition, it works differently. In addition to mechanical polishing and gentle exfoliation, the scrub affects the skin cells at a biological level. The fact is that in the composition of coffee beans a huge number of useful substances.

Most of them are essential oils, with a high content of polyphenols and antioxidants. In addition, coffee beans contain caffeine, a powerful plant alkaloid. Their properties determine the benefits of the remedy in the elimination of cellulite.

Caffeine

Coffee beans contain a substance that is active in its effect on the body - caffeine. It dilates the small blood vessels located in the dermis, thus stimulating blood circulation in it and in the underlying layers under the skin. Therefore, metabolic processes are accelerated in the subcutaneous fat, more oxygen and nutrients enter it.

At the same time, fats are actively broken down, toxins and slags are removed. Caffeine promotes a more active removal of fluid from the body. As a result, excess interstitial fluid is removed from the subcutaneous fat. The skin becomes more smooth and elastic. Along with excess water, excess weight leaves the body.

Antioxidants

The antioxidants contained in coffee beans make the skin more elastic and youthful, saturating it with oxygen.

Polyphenols

Polyphenols, or flavonoids, belong to a special group of substances that have a lot of beneficial properties, affecting the body at the cellular level. One of the properties of polyphenols is their ability to restore collagen fibers and elastin in the destroyed cells of the dermis.

Chlorogenic acid

It protects the skin from exposure to UV radiation, which is important in the prevention of skin cancer.

In addition to these basic substances, coffee contains other equally important components:

• Carotenoids give the skin a pleasant tan tone;
• Tannins that give the skin strength;
• Enzymes and fatty acids.

Criteria for choosing coffee beans for scrub

The question arises - what kind of anti-cellulite coffee should you choose in order to get the best result in getting rid of cellulite?

In order to get the maximum benefit from a coffee scrub, you need to choose the right coffee beans. For the procedure, the brand of coffee is not as important as its quality. Don't buy cheap coffee. It contains several times less active substances that determine the effect of peeling. The best quality coffees are Arabica and Robusta.

It is not recommended to use freshly prepared coffee powder in the peeling procedure. The fact is that particles of freshly ground coffee can cause microtrauma on the skin. Safer in this respect will be coffee grounds without milk and sugar.

You can perform the procedure with coffee from cellulite no more than twice a week. First you need to take a hot bath, or visit the steam room in the bath. It is recommended to wash off coffee residues without using soap.

The effectiveness of coffee scrubs

Coffee particles perfectly exfoliate dead skin cells of the epidermis. This allows the pores to fully open, which in turn improves the penetration of beneficial substances through them and the removal of toxins. After the procedure with a coffee scrub, the skin receives sufficient moisture and there is no need to use additional moisture with the help of cosmetics.

Massage with coffee particles performs the function of lymphatic drainage, which restores microcirculation of interstitial fluid, improves blood supply to the dermis, removes toxins and excess fluid. The advantages of coffee scrub undoubtedly include its naturalness and environmental friendliness.
