Seaweed For Cellulite Reduction

When I think of seaweed I think of that tasty green stuff that encircles my favorite bits of sushi, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that it could be used for cellulite reduction!

Apparently, people have been using seaweed in a bid to get rid of orange peel thighs for decades! Even the ancient Chinese herbalists knew that sea weed could be utilized for health and beauty purposes, which si where we get many of these ideas from.

Now, for clarification purposes, seaweed isn't really a weed per se, but rather, a grouping of wide sea algae. The marine algae called Bladderwrack is the most common variety and is primarily used in the cosmetic industry. It is also considered an herb that effectively fights and burns fat, creating a sort of natural lyposis.

Now, as we stated before, caffeine also fights fat...thee two items together should then be the ultimate fat busting duo!

But are there even more items that a woman can turn to in her bid to find the perfect answer to all natural cellulite reduction?

Indeed, and I will keep digging into them to telly you what I was able to uncover in the next few posts.

Caffeine For Cellulite Reduction

When I first learned that caffeine could effectively reduce cellulite, I was ecstatic. I just love a good ole cup a of java, especially on my morning commutes, and if said cup could get rid of leg dimples all the better!

My balloon of happiness was later deflated however, when I discovered that actually drinking coffee of caffeinated sodas may increase risks of obtaining cellulite.

Eee gads. Talk about a buzz kill..

See, caffeine only works to eradicate cellulite when applied topically, and in conjunction with other ingredients.

In other words, pouring coffee on your tights won't work, and may end up being rather painful.

Further research and prodding revealed that the caffeine that is utilized in some topical creams and ointments work by tightening the top layers of the skin. It may also reduce some of the actual fat cells. This is usually a temporary fix, which is why it is essential to find a product with more key cellulite reduction ingredients in them.

I also found out that daily applications of products with caffeine in them could keep cellulite at bay, if you use the right combination of botanical agents with it...

What ingredients work best with caffeine? We'll discuss that in a new post...ciao for now,
