Benefits Of Cellulite Massage

Cellulite massage is one type of therapy that is commonly used to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is a type of fat that is close to the surface of the skin. The fat cells are pressed against the underlying skin structure, which leads to a distinctive "cottage cheese" appearance. Cellulite is most apparent on the hips, thighs and stomach. During cellulite massage, the massage therapist manipulates the affected area with his or her hands or a roller. The roller allows for a deeper, more intensive massage experience. 

Many cellulite massages also include a seaweed wrap, which can help tighten and smooth the appearance of the cellulite. Another type of cellulite massage uses essential oils, such as peppermint. These oils are purported to have stimulating property, which helps improve the tone and appearance of the affected area. Whether they work or not, essential oils are a nice addition to a massage session.

The right cream is only one part of an effective at-home cellulite massage. Application is important as well. Apply the lotion and rub the skin firmly. Some people rub in a circular direction, while others rub firmly up and down the body. The direction that the cream is massaged in is less important than the force. The goal is to stimulate the circulation of blood to the skin, so vigorous and firm pressure is required.
