Beauty
Secret from Brazil for Cellulite

Brazilian
women spend much of their time on the beach, so
it’s no wonder that their secret to
cellulite-free skin is found there. A handful of
ordinary sand will do wonders for cellulite when
rubbed across the skin with a lubricant such as
vegetable oil (or even sea water) just a few times
per week.
How does this work? The sand improves circulation
by helping to unsettle deposits of fat that
collect in the problem areas of the body, such as
the thighs, buttocks or abdomen. The coarse nature
of the sand allows for this movement, and if
you’re not so close to the beach, a substitute
like cornmeal, finely crushed salt or sugar will
also do the trick. As a double bonus, battling
cellulite in this way will allow you to exfoliate
at the same time, giving you a healthier glow to
your skin by bringing new skin cells to the
surface.
Cellulite removal can also be increased with the
help of massage. A hand-held massage brush with
either wooden or rubber pegs feels great and is
inexpensive. Massages can be used daily to help
with cellulite removal.
Once you’ve completed the treatment, the broken
up fat will begin to look for a new place to rest
in the body. You can avoid this by drinking lots
of water both before and after your scrub or
massage.
