Cellulite Treatment Creams - Will They Work for You?

By El Bilson

Cellulite treatment creams have been on the market for a few years now. These creams vary widely in price and effectiveness. Are they worth your time and effort? The answer can depend on your expectations. Cellulite treatment creams can be a great way to tone and firm your skin without having to pay a fortune for cosmetic procedures.

A couple big brands come to mind when it comes to these creams. A product that has been popular for several years now is Nivea's Goodbye Cellulite Cream. This brand has paired up with MTV recently to offer a contest to women who want to get rid of their cellulite and are willing to try Nivea's product. The Hello Bikini Challenge offers a 4 week plan for women looking improve the appearance of their skin and tone trouble spots.

Another big brand associated with cellulite creams is Revitols Cellulite Solution. This brand is one of the more expensive products on the market. Does this make it any more effective? Not really - sometimes price has nothing to do with how well a cosmetic product will work! On the other hand, some products are worth the money you will spend on them.

To have any success with cellulite creams, you need to be willing to apply them on a regular basis. When applying a cellulite cream, it is recommended that you use a massaging technique to rub the cream into your problem areas. Massage has been shown to be effective for reducing the appearance of cellulite. This is due to the fact that a deep massage will release toxins and fluids that build up under the skin. These can lead to cellulite!

Another important part of success with cellulite creams is your ability to apply them at least twice a day for at least four to six weeks. As with many cellulite treatments, the creams can take some time to work. Women who are dedicated to applying the cream on a regular basis will most likely see results. It can be difficult to find the time to apply the cream twice a day however!

One of the advantages of a cellulite cream is that you don't need to use it year round. If price is an issue, you can buy the treatment creams only in the summer months when you are wearing shorter clothes. By starting to apply a cellulite treatment cream in April or May, you will be ready to hit the beach by June. This is also a great option for women who are strapped for time. However women living in warmer climates might find that they need to use a cellulite cream on a regular basis.

Mainly composed of ingredients such as caffeine and sea minerals, cellulite creams work to penetrate down into the skin cells to smooth and tone the skin. You can also wear cellulite reduction shorts and wraps to help the creams sink in more fully.

Are cellulite creams able to penetrate the cells deeply enough to give results? Some doctors remain skeptical. However cellulite creams do seem to be able to provide some toning to the skin. Women with advanced cellulite may find that they need a stronger treatment to really see results. Regardless of the scientific studies, the best way to figure out if a cellulite cream works for you is to try one! At the worst, youll have moisturized skin. At best, you will lessen the appearance of your cellulite!
