A fairly well-known problem for women, regardless of age, is cellulite. What methods do women not use to overcome the “orange peel”? Some people decide to resort to plastic surgery and other rather radical methods in order to get rid of this eternal problem forever. Before you decide to take such serious action, we suggest you try an effective folk remedy - honey massage for cellulite. Honey anti-cellulite massage came to us from Tibet. As you know, beauty and health recipes, originally from Tibet, are famous for their effectiveness and efficiency.
The procedure with honey is very useful for our body: its healing effect not only eliminates cellulite, but also fills the body with many useful substances. The body will gain unprecedented lightness, beauty, youth, and metabolism will improve.
The benefits of honey anti-cellulite massage
Massage using honey is an excellent way to lose excess weight. Its beneficial effect is its drainage property, and also perfectly stimulates the removal of excess fluid from the body. Most often, the procedure is performed on the buttocks, abdomen and legs, since it is in these areas that cellulite forms to a greater extent.
The body will become elastic and smooth
The healing properties of honey, combined with the anti-cellulite massage technique, help not only eliminate cellulite, but also cleanse the skin and remove toxins from the body. Already after the first procedure, the elasticity and firmness of the skin significantly improves.
Anti-cellulite massage with honey has a special effect on the skin. Honey contains a large number of useful elements and minerals: potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin B, amino acids, iodine, copper, magnesium and many others. A special massage technique improves the “absorption” of beneficial elements by our body. Antioxidants contained in honey are actively involved in the process of slowing down aging and developing immunity to cancer.
For massage you need to purchase natural honey - flower, linden or mustard; nothing depends on the type of honey. The main thing is that it does not contain foreign impurities and additives. In this case, purchase honey from beekeeper producers.
Aroma oils will increase the effectiveness of honey massage
For greater effectiveness, add essential oils. You can add:
- Citrus essential oils – orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon.
- Aroma oils from shrubs, plants and flowers - lavender, eucalyptus, juniper.
The most suitable for the role of anti-cellulite massage are citrus oils, eucalyptus and juniper. The combination should be as follows: 1 teaspoon of honey and 5 drops of aromatic oils or a combination of essential oils.
Approximate ratios of massage oil composition:
- You need to mix 2 teaspoons of honey, 3 drops of lemon oil, 3 drops of lavender oil, 2 drops of orange and 3 juniper.
- You need to mix 2 teaspoons of honey, 5 drops of lemon oil, 2 drops of lavender and 3 drops of eucalyptus.
- You need to mix a teaspoon of honey, 5 drops of lemon oil and 5 drops of orange oil.
Try to strictly observe these proportions. Some essential oils can be very concentrated. Incorrect ratio will result in burns.
Prepare a mixture of honey and oils shortly before the anti-cellulite massage procedure. If you are using a mixture of oils and honey, first combine the oils, then add the honey, then mix everything thoroughly.
How to do a massage correctly
The procedure for performing a honey massage for cellulite is quite painful. It can be done either independently or with the help of another person.
Self-guided honey massage
Self-massage is carried out as follows: a small amount of honey is applied to the palms, then we apply our hands to the problem area and begin to rub the honey into the skin. We move our hands clockwise. As soon as the hands begin to stick to the skin, press the palms tightly to the body and sharply tear them off. After such a procedure, gray flakes remain - this means that the massage was performed correctly, the honey pulled out toxins and waste from the body.
Honey massage with the help of another person
The massage therapist applies a small amount of honey to the palms. Then he transfers it to the body, presses his palms tightly to the skin and sharply tears them away from the body. As a rule, the massage therapist's movements are much sharper and stronger, which leads to excellent results.
First of all, prepare a mixture of honey and aromatic oils. Afterwards, apply the prepared consistency onto your palms and transfer the honey to the desired area of the body using patting movements.
Massage is performed on previously cleansed skin
After you have transferred the honey to the massaged area with light patting movements, we proceed to the main procedure. When your palms begin to stick strongly to the body, begin to sharply tear them away from the massaged area. All techniques are based on this technique. Perform gradual pats. As your palms begin to stick more and more, your movements should be sharper and stronger.
Despite the fact that the massage is quite painful, your hands must be pressed as tightly as possible. It is thanks to these strong and sharp movements that honey penetrates deeply into the skin and then removes toxins and impurities. Of course, the process is very painful, but the more painful it is, the more effective the final result will be.
After some time, you will notice that gray flakes will appear on your body - this is the result of proper massage. This indicates that toxins and wastes “leave” the body. It is important during the massage to promptly remove dirt from the palms and body so as not to drive it back. At the end of the massage, rinse off the honey with warm water and a soft washcloth. Afterwards, you can lubricate your body with moisturizer.
The procedure must take from 5 to 15 minutes. The full course consists of 15 sessions, which must be carried out every 1-2 days. In order to verify the effectiveness of the procedure, pay attention to the section “honey massage for cellulite reviews”, where you can see the real results.
