One of the most famous SPA procedures is honey massage.. Everyone knows that real high-quality honey is one of the most powerful folk remedies for healing the body.. Against cellulite, it is used in alliance with coffee, sea salt and essential oils in body scrubs and anti-cellulite wraps, womenzone reports.. org.
Honey contains a lot of biologically active substances. In the old days, they were treated for many diseases.. Massage with the use of honey was used in ancient Tibet and in ancient India, in Southeast Asia and in ancient Russia.
Massage techniques and the benefits of honey that underlie this popular method of dealing with “orange peel” affect the general condition of the body: metabolic processes are accelerated, muscle tone is increased, the skin is leveled and smoothed, a feeling of lightness and cleansing appears..
Standard honey massage course - two weeks. But the day of the massage must be alternated with the day of the break, so in total it will be necessary to do 7 sessions of honey massage.
6 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR THE CORRECT ANTI-CELLULITE HONEY MASSAGE - Apply the honey mass on the palm of your hand and start massaging and patting the areas affected by cellulite. Part of the honey, thus, passes to your body, and part remains on the palms.. Honey will gradually be absorbed into the skin, so be prepared for the fact that the palms will begin to stick to the places you pat.
- Then you continue the same movements, but increase their intensity: tightly and forcefully press your palms to the body and then tear them off sharply. From the point of view of physical activity, this is a very energy-consuming procedure, but you should be consoled by the thought that in parallel you are pumping up the muscles of the hands, which has not hurt anyone yet. Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, you may experience redness and pain.. There may be bruising after the session.. But gradually the skin will get used.
- If you do everything right, then after a while you should start to open the pores on the treated area. Of these, a greasy white (yellowish or off-white) mass stands out, which remains on the palms. As it accumulates from the palms, it must be washed off..
- The massage procedure itself should continue until this “slag mass” ceases to stand out. But if you feel uncomfortable, this is also a signal to end the session..
- Then you can go to the shower and thoroughly wash off all the honey.
- After a shower, use a moisturizing emulsion, cream or lotion.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS ANTI-CELLULITE PROCEDURE IS THAT IT CAN BE DONE AT HOME.
Honey for massage should be natural. It is more convenient to use transparent honey, rather than hardened. But the last one can just melt. After all, natural honey does not lose its properties when candied..

It cannot be said that natural honey is a cheap remedy, but in any case, such SPA procedures at home will cost much less than salon procedures..
After a honey massage, it is best to wrap yourself in a terry bathrobe, make yourself herbal tea (you can use honey) and sit or lie down calmly to soothing music with pleasant reading in your hands. And you can just fall asleep.
By the way, the technique of honey massage is also practiced in salons..
