OK so firstly, we have to be honest here, if you are not prepared to make changes to your diet & lifestyle on a long term basis, then don't waste your time with this, seriously if you are going to eat rubbish not exercise and just sit on your butt watching TV, then this ain't gonna help! However if you are willing to put some serious effort in you can make an amazing difference to your body and more importantly to your long term health in a very short time!

So then, we have heard all the stuff about whether cellulite is regular fat or not and I have addressed this in other writings, the point is we need to do something to help the situation, my attitude is try anything and keep a close eye on how your body responds, if it seems to be working for you great if not don't give up we are all made up in different ways so try something else but I can promise you with effort this works! Our bodies are not designed for a sedentary life, we are built to move! Brisk walking and swimming are recommended for cellulite on hips and thighs. Your diet must be sensible and you must exercise, these methods just simply wont work unless you take the holistic approach, ideally your body needs to be at an ideal weight for any specific treatment to work but if you take an all round approach this will certainly help.

Body brushing is amazing, so you have been for a brisk morning walk (fantastic for your legs) if you have put effort in here just look at your thighs in the mirror, they will be glowing red with the circulation of blood and oxygen, fantastic! Before you take your regular shower, take a dry body brush and use long sweeping strokes starting from the bottom of your feet upwards, from the hands towards the shoulders, and on the torso in an upward direction, this helps to drain the lymph back to your heart, this should take around 10 minutes. Next at the end of your shower alternate the water from hot to cold, repeat 3 times to stimulate the circulation some more (you will be very awake) Next dry off vigorously and massage your skin with some good oils, recommended oils are as follows: geranium and rosemary, alternated the next day with fennel and juniper, add these to a base oil, or buy a specially prepared oil for cellulite, better still have a good aroma therapist prepare one for you. try to drink fennel tea, and stick to salads fruit and veg as much as possible. You need to follow this regime for at least 5 months, preferably make it a way of life!

The benefits of body brushing:

Tightens the skin, tones the muscles, stimulates circulation, removes dead skin cells, improves the function of the nervous system and improves digestion, to top that the skin is beautifully soft! You will be amazed at how you feel and how your skin feels!
