It is no secret that women have become their own worst critics; when was the last time you looked in the mirror and said, “wow, I really like that”?
No matter what size, shape or weight a woman wants to be, no woman EVER wants more cellulite.
Did you know that Cellulite is nothing more than normal fat beneath the skin? The fat appears lumpy because it pushes against connective tissue (also known as facia) causing the skin above it to pucker.
Cellulite can affect both men and women, but it is more common in females due to the different distribution of fat, muscle and connective tissue. Men’s skin is much thicker on their thighs, so less noticeable.
Women’s fat is typically distributed on the thighs, hips, and buttocks; the common areas for cellulite. It can also be found on the breasts, lower abdomen, and upper arms.
As much as we all hate it, 90% of women have it, and between 80-90% of women may experience cellulite at some point in their lives.
So, what is Connective tissue aka facia?
It is a sophisticated system of cells that is spread throughout the entire body. It’s a sticky web-like structure that attaches underneath the skin and is everywhere in the body. It connects the human body, supports and protects our organs in place.
When connective tissue is unhealthy, it tightens and sticks down on everything it surrounds, and becomes painful.
Healthy connective tissue allows your body to function optimally, blood flow and nerve activity are free and your skin is smooth and supple.
By smoothing out the connective tissue/fascia on the skin’s surface not only can you improve the texture and appearance on the skin this can improve your overall health
How can you improve this?
- A healthy diet and good nutrition can play a key role
- Drinking plenty of water
- Taking regular exercise
By smoothing out the connective tissue/fascia on the skin’s surface not only can you improve the texture and appearance on the skin this can improve your overall health
At Brow Envy we can also help to improve the overall condition of the connective tissue and improve the overall appearance on the skin, by suggesting treatments and products available in the salon and on our website.
FasciaBlaster
“What on earth is that?” I hear you say.
Fasciablaster is a hand-held tool that you use at home to loosen the connective tissue which makes it more pliable.
The FasciaBlaster loosens restrictions, adhesions and distortions along with smoothing the skin. When the connective tissue is smooth, the appearance of the skin is also smooth.
When the FasciaBlaster restores the connective tissue, the blood flow in the arteries and blood vessels improve. Nerves that were previously restricted by tight fascia are freed to operate optimally, pain and numbness are relieved, and muscles move more effectively.
Stretch marks can also be improved by increasing the blood supply to the area, this can also reduce vein appearance.
Migraines and stress can also be eliminated and overall mental health and well-being improved.
Using oil on the skin, lightly blast on the chosen area for 3/5 mins in quick brisk movements. Afterwards, tight facia will be sore.
