With increasing popularity in Germany, Spain and now the U.S., the anti-cellulite trend now extends well over quality facial care, into body care.Cellulite is subcutaneous body fat, or the top layer of fat just underneath the skin. It takes on its dimpled appearance when sunlight and a natural loss of oestrogen cause the skin to thin and lose its elasticity over time. Cellulite can appear in any female regardless of how large or slim they are, and can acerbate the effects of spider veins, varicose veins and related leg disease.
While there is no major known cure to cellulite, there are several steps one can take to reducing the appearance of it. Obesity makes cellulite look worse, so a sensible diet and regular exercise will help minimize the appearance, as well as adequate rest.
Anti-cellulite body treatments are also available to help treat cellulite. Traditionally, anti-cellulite products were represented only by premium brands. Lately, technology has penetrated into the mass market and now luxurious skin care treatment lines are offered at very affordable prices. The Anti-Cellulite Body Serum from Sarah Michaels, launching in June, brings efficacious skincare treatment for anti-cellulite to the mass arena. Formulated with carnitine, caffeine and coenzyme A which help to firm and smooth skin, it helps the body visibly minimize cellulite and is also available in three different scents; Firstlight, Twilight and Moodlight.
