Murad Cellulite Solution: A Review

Well, a little over eight weeks have passed and the results are in on Murad Cellulite solution.

Verdict?

Well, my skin feels smoother and more supple, however, I still have cellulite, in fact, it did very little to diminish the appearance of the cellulite.

I have even began working out and drinking more water as I have been instructed to do on various cellulite sites, and with very little results.

I dunno, I kinda feel like I paid eighty dollars for skin softeners. My mom used to buy this stuff from Avon that did pretty much the same thing and it only costs her three bucks or something.

I am highly disappointed.

Now, that said, I don't know if Murad Cellulite Solution has worked for other people. My guess is that it pt probably has, especially considering all the positive reviews I have ran across when researching the product--thing is, for me, it just didn't do the job.

This is very discouraging and a rather harsh and a very expensive lesson, so I think what I'll do is try to come at this whole thing from a different angle--just where and how I am not sure about yet...

I Bought Murad Cellulite solution!

I took the plunge and decided to buy the Murad cellulite solution set.

When I saw that it had arrived by courier today (rush delivery) I actually squealed like my Little girl does when she is going to get a treat!

When I finally saw the set however, I was a little disappointed.

I mean, a lot of the stuff is far smaller than I imagined (like the body firming cream) and it did seem as if all of the the products in the container (a nice zipper pouch) was a bit bigger by the pictures.

You would expect something far more, shall we say, substantial in size for eighty bucks, however, that is the danger of but yinh online.

Well, supposedly, a little goes a long way ( the Murad cellulite solution set should last six to eight if I am careful).

The stuff smells pretty okay, nothing uber fancy, but that's all right, I don't need frills so long as the product works.

I think I am going to give Murad cellulite Solution the 6- 8 weeks test (until it runs out at least) to see if it works okay, I mean, I should see some kind of results by then, right?

I'll check back with you after that time has elapsed...until then, keep your fingers crossed.

Murad -- A Viable Option?

I ran across a product called Murad cellulite solution and I am starting to lean towards using it.

From what I can see, Murad has a good reputation in the beauty industry and their products have even been used to treat scars.

I am fairly optimistic about the Murad cellulite solution packages -- however, I am not so enthusiastic about the price.

Murad cellulite solution, at least the one I am interested in buying, costs about $80.00.

It comes in a kit that includes Murad Activating Body Scrub, Murad Firm and Tone Serum and Murad Body Firming Cream.

The Activating Body Scrub can be used to smooth the skin while increasing firmness elasticity, and texture. Murad's Firm and Tone Serum alters the skins appearance by 80%, which in turn mitigates the appearance of cellulite.

The one part of the trio I am most interested in trying is Murad's Body Firming Cream which is supposed to show a dramatic improvement in firmness of up to 20% in just 10 minutes.

I can't wait to see if it works, but...

Right now, I am still weighting the pros and cons of buying the Murad cellulite solution package because of the price--will update you do soon!

Cellulite Cream: Miracle in a Jar?

So, my friend Julia came over today and she told me that there are cellulite solutions that can and do work!

She told me that she used a cream for a number of years that worked wonders for her.

"But, you don't have cellulite!" I cried, looking with envy at her incredible legs.

"Exactly!" she replied with a wink.

The talk I had with Julia, who incidentally is an extremely health conscience gal, lifted my spirits as well as renewed my vigor and my purpose.

Even though the cream that helped Julia was no longer on the market, I decided to hunt for my own Genie in a bottle, so to speak.

When I decided to take a look at cellulite cream, a whole new world opened before my eyes, one of limitless possibilities.

There was a veritable cornucopia of choices, which was somewhat exciting -- at first...

As I started looking into them however, I grew frustrated once more.

Which ones were viable and how could you tell? I am not poor, but I do try to make wise buying decisions and stretch my dollars. I don't want to waste money.

At this juncture, it looks like wear back at the old drawing board.

Is Cellulite removal even possible?

I dunno--I am starting to get a little dejected here.

Is real cellulite removal even possible?

Some of the supposed guaranteed methods, like lasers and cosmetic surgery, are out of my reach ( and I wouldn't do them anyway for various reasons), but I can't seem to run across anything that truly interests me yet.

I spoke with a good friend of mine who told me that cellulite removal is a myth. She said that she has been on the hunt for a reliable product for several years and can't seem to get rid of cellulite for good.

Of course, she does smoke like a chimney and has the worst eating habits I have ever seen--amazing, since she still weighs only buck-o-0five soaking wet.

yes ladies, even Skinny Minnies can get cellulite too.

This begs the question of if cellulite removal takes not only finding a good product, but changing to healthier dietary habits after all, cellulite is simply fat deposits that have settled under the skin.

Does diet and exercise help with cellulite removal as well?


Anyhoo, maybe I just need to re-vamp and recharge. I'll sleep on it then take a look at things and see if I can't see this whole cellulite removal thing from a new perspective.

Sayonara for now.

Laser Treatment For Cellulite

I recently ran across an article on laser treatment for cellulite, and while it sounds cutting edge and somewhat Star-Warsy, I do have to say that what I learned freaked me out a bit.

First of all, in almost all cases, they roll this massage over your body, I suppose in an effort to break up the fat, and it doens't sound none too pleasant. The process, called, is supposed to make laser treatment for cellulite all the more successful.

Bah humbug if you ask me.

Besides which, enough research hasn't been done in regards to long term effects of the laser procedure, and I don't know about you guys, but I tend to like to take a wait and see approach with new technologies--let others offer to be guinea pigs--I'll wait to see what happens when the dust settles.

It is also very expensive, which is so not good on a paralegals budget. Besides, a gals gotta eat and feed her wee young ones!

Also, it may take more than one supposed "treatment" before it works.

I can't afford for that not to work the first time.

Man -- trying to figure out ways to reduce cellulite is proving to be a challenge, but I am not giving up yet!

Lipo Dissolve -- A Frightening Prospect

You know what I hate?

I hate how offices that supply a cosmetic service always act as if every procedure they offer is going to be a cake walk down snow bunny lane.

The reality is, they almost always will hurt.

Lip injections -- they hurt. Chemical peels and microdermabrasions--it can sting. Waxing any part of the anatomy--do we really need to go there?

I got the same kind of response when I called a local cosmetologists office to ask about a service that could potentially lipodissolve cellulite. According to the woman they had answering the phone, I would get a happy shot that would melt fat away from my hips legs and thighs like magic, which in turn, could reduce cellulite.

To hear her tell it, lipodissolve cellulite procedures were the second coming.

I knew better, so as soon as I got off the phone, I looked lipodissolve up on the Internet. I wasn't surprised to find that processes that lipodissolve cellulite are currently under FDA scrutiny.

This is because, while lipodissolve injections do liquefy fat, no one knows where the fat goes. It could potentially end up in the blood vessels, increasing risks of heart attacks and strokes.

I am trying to look good, not have a coronary!

At this point, it seems as if I may have to look into another method of cellulite reduction.

How to get rid of cellulite

You know, over the last few days, I started seriously looking at what I wanted to accomplish with this cellulite adventure o' mine.

I figured, if I am going to learn how to get rid of cellulite, I may need to get a tad bit more “scientific” in my approach. I visited this informative webpage on cellulite that explained a bit more in depth just what cellulite is.

It seems that cellulite is fat that is trapped beneath the skins surface. This trapped fat tends to “bunch” creating the cottage cheese, dimpled look.

As I read on, I noted that researchers feel there is no real effective way to get rid of cellulite without lasers. This claim seems a bit fishy to me, as there is no way they could research the 101 ways to try to get rid of cellulite that women have attempted. Indeed, if you asked these supposed experts directly how do you get rid cellulite, they will probably tell about all the things that don’t work, but won’t mention anything that does.

So, I have decided to approach the question of how to get rid of cellulite with an open mind. I will look at items that I feel will most likely bust up fat. I will also look at natural approaches, like exercise to get rid of cellulite and products with all natural ingredients.

In doing this, I am more than sure that I will finally figure out how to get rid of cellulite and share that knowledge with others.

Cellulite adventures begin!

Okay so, I figured I would tackle the cellulite goal like I do work my projects by taking a somewhat clinical approach. First, I would outline my objective by asking the question, "How do I reduce my cellulite?"

With this query in mind, I began an internet search on the subject.

I was a bit surprised when I turned up over a 300, 000 hits on the "get rid of cellulite" search. The numbers alone however, clued me in to the fact that cellulite reduction is a major concern for a lot of people.

Another thing I soon realizes was that there were a lot of options available.

When it comes to actual way to affect cellulite reduction, there are lotions, creams, ointments and even pills that one can purchase. Each site made claims that their products that are the best in the biz in helping a person minimize if not get rid of cellulite all together.

I even stumbled across surgical and laser procedures that are said to be a permanent and long lasting way to reduce cellulite.

I am skeptical about those, but feel further research should be done before I throw the baby out with the bath water.

Humph. I think I may start with the lipodissolve technique, and see if it works...stay tuned...

Cellulite Sucks!

For those of you who stumble across this blog, Hi, My name is Stephanie Akers, I am 26 years old and I have cellulite!

All I can say is that cellulite truly sucks!

I don't know if it happened after my pregnancy with my daughter Krista, or if it is because I am no longer nineteen, but whatever the reason, I am not happy about it!

I really noticed them the other day when I went into one of those department store dressing rooms that had a three way mirror in it ( what I like the call the mini not so fun house of horror) I caught a glimpse of myself and I felt like I was looking at someone else's hips and thighs.

I thought "Oh my god, where did all that cottage cheese come from!"

But you know what? I am NOT going to take this lying down!

I am going to look into various ways to reduce cellulite and get back the legs and hips I enjoyed when I was in my teens.

Why not? In this modern era, there should be plenty of items on the market that will blast my cellulite into the past!

I invite you to come along for the ride as I learn, through trial and error, what works and what doesn't, who knows, maybe we'll share a laugh or two.
