Are you looking for an effective cellulite cream? Confused by the large range of choices and glossy marketing? Thankfully, choosing the right anti cellulite lotion isnâ??t as hard as you think. The first thing you need to do is examine the cellulite cream ingredients. This will tell you how the cream will work and why.
The active ingredient in most cellulite lotions is caffeine. Before the invention of caffeine creams, women would actually smear coffee on to their skin to gain an effect. Caffeine is thought to stimulate the blood flow to the problem areas and also to assist in fat reduction.
Another popular choice of active ingredient is Retinol. This is the same substance which is found in many anti-wrinkle lotions. It works by causing an increase in collagen production and this thickens the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance and reducing the tendency to dimple.
A rarer but still effective ingredient is Aminophylline. This is often used as an asthma medication but when use in skin care lotions, it is thought to reduce fat.
It is a good idea to first try a caffeine-based cream. If this doesnâ??t work for you, switch to a Retinol or Aminophylline based cream. It may take you several types of lotions and brands before you find one that works for you.
