Spring is the time when every woman begins to think about how ready she is for light summer outfits, and whether she likes her reflection in the mirror. As a remedy for solving problems with excess weight, slimming cream is persistently advertised. Due to natural human laziness, such cosmetics remain very popular, despite the debate about its effectiveness.
To permanently resolve the issue of the advisability of using this kind of cosmetics, you need to study two questions: how the cream works, and what is needed to burn fat, and, accordingly, to improve the figure.
How does slimming cream work?
The cream itself does not break down fat. However, it contains ingredients that improve metabolism, help blood and lymph circulation and moisturize the skin: caffeine, citrus extracts, amino acids.
Thus, it becomes clear that a miracle will not happen. It is impossible to lose weight using only cosmetics. The approach must be comprehensive:
- proper nutrition;
- physical activity;
- beauty treatments.
In caseThe complex approach of the cream really helps and significantly improves the condition of the skin, and also consolidates the achieved result.
It should be noted a separate category - face slimming cream. There are not as many of them as body creams, but nevertheless, advertising strongly recommends using these products to shape the face oval. There is no need to talk about their effectiveness, since their action is identical to the rest.
In this case, you need to remember that fat is burned throughout the body, and its individual parts cannot lose weight. That is, the face decreases in size due to a general decrease in body fat. In this case, you should simply use a cream that will help the skin maintain elasticity and not sag - an effective moisturizer, possibly with a lifting effect.
How to use weight loss creams for maximum effect?
As mentioned above, the most effective use of the product will be achieved in conjunction with a he althy lifestyle. Slimming activities include:
- diet food - in this matter it is better to consult a professional. However, the general rules are to reduce the amount of flour and sweets. Eat often, but in small portions;
- sports - the effect will be visible after the first visits to aerobics, swimming pool or jogging;
- cosmetic procedures - saunas, baths, massages and, accordingly, slimming cream.
Some tips for use:
- self-massage always improves the result of using any product, that is, it is necessary to rub the cream with massage movements. Moreover, many creams come with a massager;
- preliminary scrub helps to remove dead skin particles, and the cream is better absorbed;
- contrast shower before using the cream prepares the skin and muscles by improving blood circulation, which has a beneficial effect;
- The use of cling film creates a sauna effect and also enhances the effect of the slimming cream. However, it is worth remembering the precautions and in no case wrap the stomach and lumbar region with a film, as this can lead to “steaming” of the internal organs - only the legs and buttocks!
Marketers are taking advantage of the consumer's habit of taking a stinging, warming, or tingling sensation as evidence that a cream is working. The result from the right tool appears without discomfort, and the price is not always an indicator of effectiveness. You can evaluate the effectiveness of using a cosmetic product in advance only by reading the composition.
Thus, we can conclude that the use of the advertised cream or gel, lotion, concentrate of essential oils for weight loss may well give a decent result. However, only if it is used correctly and in conjunction with dietary nutrition and, of course, physical activity.
