Cellulite, Stretch Marks, Spider-Veins, Oh my!

Cellulite.

Why. You finally get at a weight where you feel comfortable but oh wait there's still cellulite.  I'm telling you from experience, cellulite isn't just on over weight people, it's only average and skinny men and women too. (mostly women, of course....we usually get the short stick on these sort of things)

BUT HAVE NO FEAR! There are certain things you can do that help the appearance or get rid of them!

First of all:
  1. Eat healthy- probably the most important... minimize fat and sugars from your diet (eat your greens!)
  2. Work out! - a little obvious, but working out really does work to minimize if not get rid of
Tips to reduce appearance of cellulite:

    3.   Massage the area of cellulite for 5 minutes, will reduce cellulite for up to 20 hours (if you get in deep)
    4.   Keep area well moisturized
    5.   Drink lots of water - will flush away all the crap that's lingering and hanging around your skin
    6.   After making your daily coffee, (and before a shower) try rubbing used coffee grinds into the area of cellulite.  This trick apparently has amazing affects!



Stretch Marks.

Prevention: Lather up in moisturizer EVERY DAY! Definitely after a shower, that's when your skin is the dryest.  The best lotion for stretch mark prevention is Palmer's cocoa butter formula, it's made to prevent and help with them.  Great for pregnant women to, my mom lathered up everyday and doesn't have one stretch mark! She swears by this product.


   Treatment:  Use Bio-Oil on effected areas, apparently will reduce the look of stretch marks.


Spider-Veins.

Causes: The heart pumps blood filled with oxygen and nutrients to the whole body. Arteries carry blood from the heart towards the body parts. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood from the body back to the heart.

The squeezing of leg muscles pumps blood back to the heart from the lower body. Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps. These valves prevent the blood from flowing backwards as it moves up the legs. If the one-way valves become weak, blood can leak back into the vein and collect there. This problem is called venous insufficiency. Pooled blood enlarges the vein and it becomes varicose. Spider veins can also be caused by the backup of blood. Hormone changes, inherited factors, and exposure to the sun can also cause spider veins.

Prevention:
•Wear Sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun and to limit spider veins on the face.
•Exercise regularly to improve your leg strength, circulation, and vein strength. Focus on exercises that work your legs, such as walking or running.
•Control your weight to avoid placing too much pressure on your legs.
•Do not cross your legs when sitting.
•Elevate your legs when resting as much as possible.
•Do not stand or sit for long periods of time. If you must stand for a long time, shift your weight from one leg to the other every few minutes. If you must sit for long periods of time, stand up and move around or take a short walk every 30 minutes.
•Wear elastic support stockings and avoid tight clothing that constricts your waist, groin, or legs.
•Eat a low-salt diet rich in high-fiber foods. Eating fiber reduces the chances of constipation which can contribute to varicose veins. High fiber foods include fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, like bran. Eating too much salt can cause you to retain water or swell.

Wow, another reason to workout, eat healthy and drink water!!!
 
Tired Eyes. Bags.
  • Get sleep! 6-8 hours are needed....some people need less and some need more... does it take you longer then 30 minutes to fall asleep at night? Do you fall asleep when your head hits the pillow? Learn to read the signs to see if possibly your not getting enough or too much sleep
  • Prep-H.  I recently heard that if you use Preparation H on your eyes before you fall asleep, you will wake up with puff-free eyes? Well I tried it, seems to work a little...but it makes under your eyes look really greasy and I don't really like putting ass-cream on my face...But I'll keep trying it and hope for good results!
  • Icing your eyes. I find this sort of works....but makes my eyes red. and cold.
  • Eye drops - Great for getting rid of red eyes, making your eye-balls look white and perdy!

  1. I like the information about cellulite. I've heard it impacts 80% of women. I recently purchased an elliptical machine, and I'm hoping it reduces what I have on my ass and thighs. I guess we will see. Thanks!

  2. Yes, no matter what size you are you can have it. Not a big deal of course, but when you look at it everyday it's hard not to make it a big deal.

    Just have to keep in mind that it won't totally go away... but toning, eating right, and a couple tricks can make it less noticeable... but the sooner you accept these things the sooner you feel better about them!!

  4. One thing that is positive about having them in other areas is that it is easy to cover them up. When they are on your nose is not so simple.

  7. Examine veins are red or glowing blue veins located close to the top area of the skin. They are called spider veins because they may form styles that look like a spider's web or hardwood offices.

  8. Regardless of what dimension you are you can have it. Not a big cope of course, but when you look at it daily it's challenging not to create it a big cope.

  10. I agree with the tips given in this post. Getting into your ideal weight is an accomplishment in itself, but it is true that stretch marks can make your skin less appealing. The same scenario is also possible when you gain weight. Drastic changes in our body weight can reduce our skin’s elasticity. One way to prevent this is to keep the process in moderation. Toning your muscles through the process will also tighten up your skin. That would lessen the chances of having stretch marks.

  11. A common thread among the home remedies for stretch marks would be the need to apply an oil ointment which can work on nourishing the skin and eliminating all of those unwanted stretch marks.

    One of the homemade oils you can produce would be to mix Vitamin A and E oil along with olive oil and aloe vera gel. Olive oil, of course, can be purchased in any grocery store.
