Slimming oils and gels

These days, there are many creams, gels and oils targeted at reducing cellulite. Some even claim to melt fat away, and many claim that you would lose inches in 4 weeks just by applying the gel or cream daily. Its a fat girls dream to an easy way to slim.

Home made slimming oil

Keep it tightly closed in a dark glass bottle and apply daily on your fatty areas, typically around your tummy, buttocks, thighs and upper arms. Spend at least 15 minutes massaging it into your problem areas twice a day, every day.

Lemongrass helps get rid of toxins and grapefruit is used against obesity. A word of caution: lemongrass is irritating to sensitive skins, so do a patch test first.

Convenient, luxurious and more effective alternatives

Personally, I prefer to use slimming gels from luxury brands. They smell better, absorb faster, feel nicer and work more quickly. They have been used in trials and the major players in the luxury beauty industry stake their reputations on it. The formulas are even more effective and the technology is more advanced. They are less likely to irritate your skin than your home made aromatherapy blend. Here are some such slimming gels and creams

The active ingredient in these slimming gels may range from a special herbal extract, caffeine, guaranine, sea weed or essential oils among other things.

On their own, regular use may give the appearance of more toned skin or even a more slender figure, but for best results, nothing beats watching what you eat, and getting regular exercise. At least 15 minutes of aerobic exercise each session (jogging, swimming, dancing or cycling are fun things to try). Try at least 3 exercise sessions each week.
