Acne , Skin Care and Beauty Solutions

Cellulite is a pesky issue that more then half of all women have to deal with. While the beauty industry leads us to believe that it’s not normal to be affected by the unsightly dimples of cellulite it is in fact more then normal. The abnormal is looking like all of the women on the front of beauty magazines. None the less for those of us that want to try and eliminate the cellulite we are battling with the easiest thing to try is a quality cellulite cream that targets the areas you’re most affected and works to reduce the appearance of bumps, dimples and cellulite.

All anti cellulite creams are considered over the counter products so there is no need to get a prescription. You can purchase them online or at a local drug store or department store. How ever all of these anti cellulite creams are not created equal and you will want to have a firm understanding of how cellulite creams work and the key ingredients that have the potential to produce results for you before you spend a dime.

It’s hard to believe that someone out there in the research world decided to see how the common asthma medication Aminophylline could effect fat cells in our body.

It was university level researchers that thought if the prescription asthma med could somehow be applied topically and absorbed by the skin it could have positive effects on fat cells.

The research was conducted quite a few years ago but today the positive findings of these studies are being used to market anti cellulite lotions which contain the key ingredient.

The most well known brand using Aminophylline as a key ingredient to get rid of cellulite is Cellulean.

Cellulean aggressively uses the research done on Aminophylline in their marketing campaigns citing it as proof that their anti cellulite solution works wonders for women.

Does it work?

Well truthfully it’s hard to know for sure but I believe it’s likely the best product to try if you’re going to spend money on a product to treat cellulite.

While most anti cellulite creams contain all natural or herbal ingredients, the fact that Aminophylline has some research behind it is a good thing.

You’re not alone. Did you know that upwards of 90% of women are affected by cellulite? That’s right it’s not so abnormal after all to have a bit of the cottage cheese look on the thighs and buttocks. It’s actually less normal to have zero cellulite. So why do we all so badly want to get rid of it?

Good question?

The obvious answers are the beauty product manufacturers are doing a great job at marketing that smooth sleek look of our legs to us on TV and in magazines. Also all the big Hollywood stars and models don’t seem to have cellulite.

What they don’t show us how ever is the hours or work that these people put their bodies through to stay looking so good. They don’t discuss just how much exercise, working out and diet modifications they make.

So what can you do to get rid of cellulite that won’t modify your entire lifestyle and take months to do?

Anti Cellulite Creams

Topical treatments are probably the most popular method to say goodbye to cellulite. They’re reasonably inexpensive when compared to other cellulite treatment methods and are readily available.

One major draw back to using cellulite creams for treatment is their results are never permanent. You’re constantly having to apply the cream daily to maintain your results level. This really isn’t the ideal situation if you ask me.

How about Dieting

Unfortunately due to the nature of cellulite and where the fat is located dieting does very little to reduce cellulite. It’s a good idea to maintain a healthy diet anyways as extra weight being carried around on your body has other negative effects but it won’t directly get rid of cellulite dimples.

Exercise

Exercise can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. It will achieve similar results to cellulite creams but it will be more permanent, less expensive and help your over all health a lot more.

Doing leg focused exercises such as step aerobics, jumping rope and stair climbing will firm and tone the muscles in your legs, thighs and buttocks. Over time what will happen those muscles will begin to sculpt your body in those areas. The dimples that were once visible from cellulite will be reduced and the muscle tone will take over.

The best case scenario would be to use a combination of cellulite creams for the first month or two while exercising. Eventually you won’t have to maintain use of the cream and can rely on exercise to keep your sleek look.
