The essence of the problem
Cellulite is a cosmetic problem common among women that can be partially or completely eliminated. The problem areas include the hips, buttocks, and abdomen. This is where cellulite is most common.
The so-called “orange peel” is a consequence of the compression of blood vessels and capillaries by overgrown adipose tissue. This, in turn, causes a violation of the blood supply to the problem area, the accumulation of toxins and toxins there, the appearance of edema.
What can honey
During certain cosmetic procedures, natural honey penetrates into the upper layers of the skin. Thanks to its unique chemical composition:
- blood supply improves;
- there is an outflow of accumulated lymph – edema goes away;
- slags and toxins are removed through the enlarged pores of the skin;
- keratinized and dead cells of the dermis leave – the skin becomes smoother and more elastic.
The positive effect of medotherapy is noticeable already from the second or third cosmetic procedure. Sometimes the shape changes noticeably after the first application.

Massage
Correctly performed massage even without honey has the most beneficial effect on the body – fat cells decrease, metabolic processes improve.
If natural honey is used, it is applied to problem areas with a thin layer. And then they begin to massage the skin, lightly pressing on it with your fingers. The procedure is carried out until the bee product acquires a grayish tint (about 10-15 minutes). It is important that the hands “stick” to the body, as it were, creating a vacuum effect. Then the skin is rinsed with warm water and wiped dry.
Do not use any additional detergents (soap, gel)! Redness and slight tingling is a normal reaction of the skin to release from toxins.
Wraps
Wrapping means wrapping problem areas with cling film for 30-40 minutes.
A massage is performed first, after which honey with additives (for example, mustard, coffee, essential or vegetable oils) is left on the skin and covered with a film.
Wrapping allows you to almost instantly correct minor problems with the figure – remove swelling, tone, silkiness.
Application of coffee
Coffee helps to get rid of the dying surface layer of the dermis, as well as unclog pores from sebum, dirt and dust particles.
You will need:
- coffee grounds;
- a teaspoon of olive oil;
- the same amount of natural honey.
The scrub is applied to problem areas with light massage movements after a bath or shower. After 10-15 minutes of massage, the problem skin is wrapped with cling film. The mixture is kept on the body for half an hour, after which it is washed off with warm water without soap.
The use of mustard
This is a traditional recipe recommended for weight loss and body shaping.
Taken in equal proportions:
- table mustard without preservatives and additives;
- liquid honey product.
The mixture is applied to clean skin after a shower or bath, rubbed in gently with a sponge or massage glove for 10-15 minutes. Then the body is wrapped with cling film, which is removed after half an hour. After the procedure, you should wash yourself with warm water without soap.
To the already mentioned classic honey-mustard mixture, you can optionally add:
- olive oil – a tablespoon each (to relieve the burning sensation from mustard);
- two to three drops of pharmacy vitamin E (this antioxidant smoothes the skin);
- powdered infant formula or milk powder – a tablespoon each (for additional nutrition and softening).
Homemade mustard
And this recipe is useful if it is impossible to find table mustard without preservatives in the store.
It is taken:
- half a teaspoon of table salt;
- two tablespoons of mustard powder;
- two teaspoons of sugar;
- half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (or juice from half a medium-sized lemon).
The ingredients are mixed dry, and then poured with boiling water so that a creamy consistency is obtained. The mixture is kept in the refrigerator for XNUMX hours. Then it can be used for the wrapping procedure.
Pure honey application
Before the procedure, you need to bathe, dry yourself well with a towel. Then, a liquid honey product or a honey product melted in a water bath at forty degrees is applied to the problem areas. A cling film is wound on top.
Then you should wrap yourself in a blanket or get dressed. The body under the film is steamed, pores open and honey penetrates into them. After 1-1,5 hours, take a warm shower.
This procedure is especially effective for cellulite on the thighs and buttocks..
Противопоказания
With the seeming safety, and the undoubted benefit, such beauty procedures may have contraindications.
The most basic of them is intolerance to beekeeping products. Even external use of honey can cause allergies!
Also, contraindications include:
- pregnancy;
- phlebeurysm;
- hypertension.
Be attentive to your own health! And then small cosmetic defects in the form of “orange peel” will disappear after five to six sessions of massage or home wraps.
