With the summer season arriving, when women are thinking about putting on a swimsuit, the first thing they are usually concerned about is their weight. The second is probably cellulite. Cellulite is where skin around the abdomen, pelvic region, and also lower limbs become dimpled. Although cellulite also effect some men, it is much more common for women. This is because the estrogen in females causes them to naturally store more fat in their bodies as a preparation for pregnancy and nursing.
Cellulite developes when connective tissues underneath the skin do not hold in the underlying fat. This results in causing the unattractive “dimpled” appearances termed as cellulite.
The most effective cellulite removal solution such as Lipodissolve or Endermology are quite expensive. Those procedures run well in the thousands when combining the cost of the total treatments. A cheaper alternative are creams designed to remove or reduce the appearance of cellulite such as Captiva’s Cellulite Refining Treatment from Captiva Skin Care.
Captiva Cellulite Refining Treatment claims to help remove the appearance of cellulite by up to 40% when applied twice daily for the required period. The product uses natural antioxidants and essential oils in order to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Captiva Skin Care states that their cream helps stimulates skin cells, provides deep hydration, and also helps improve skin firmness and elasticity. It also works to prevent the future occurence of cellulite.
Currently, the company is offering a 25-day trial of a 2 month supply of their cellulite treatment solution. The retail value of the 2 month supply of cellulite solution is around $170. You have to pay $9.95 for shipping and handling.
Update: The free trial of Captiva Cellulite Treatment has expired. We recommend trying Firmaceuticals instead.
For best results, Captiva Cellulite Refining should be applied twice daily after cleaning and drying the skin. You just gently massage on the skin and the cream should be easily absorbed. Some people might feel slight tingle or develop a little redness for the first minutes of use. However it is normal and not harmful according to the company.
Other factors that may affect the cause of cellulite in women besides hormones may also include genetics, diet, and their lifestyle.
Several genetic factors have been shown to affect the development of cellulite.Gender, race, and bio-type are some of them which makes it easier for cellulite to develop for some people then others.
Diet also plays a part for the development and amount of cellulite. Excessive amounts of fat, carbohydrates, salt, or too little fiber can all contribute to an increased cellulite.
Smoking, a lack of exercise, eating fatty foods, and sitting or standing in a single position for long periods have all been correlated with an increase in cellulite. Having a stressful life may also impact the development of cellulite.
