On the first day of the Chinese New Year, there is good news: Rihanna is going to be a mother! Look at the faces of the little couple who are new parents with love and happiness.
In this group of the most fashionable maternity photos on the surface, Riri wears an out-of-print pink Vintage Chanel coat, gorgeous accessories, and a cute pregnant belly, which has the posture of a female entrepreneur, full of momentum and personality, this body is really Rihanna.
Pink can't help but make people speculate that this reincarnated little expert is likely to be a second-generation female entrepreneur. As early as when she was a sister-in-law, Riri showed her love for children, to the extent that she loved children, good guys, Fenty Baby mother and baby line, the visual sense came out on the shelves.
Mama Ri takes care of the skin of her little belly so smoothly and meticulously that it is estimated that before long, she will begin to export "belly nourishment experience".
But in fact, as early as before becoming a mother, she had been troubled by the "unevenness" of a certain skin, that is, the cellulite of the legs, and she also put a lot of effort into this maintenance homework.
Orange peel tends to occur after puberty, due to female hormone fluctuations and changes in life patterns, subcutaneous fat accumulates under the dermis layer, resulting in the skin surface as uneven as orange peel, which is common in female lower limbs, painless and itchy small problems.
Even if she is very young, the back of the hip leg of the second-born mother, Kylie Jenner, can inevitably see the unevenness.
Her third sister, Koko, used to have a very serious orange peel problem, but fortunately, through exercise, maintenance and dietary adjustments, she also had the opportunity to improve the orange peel to the current state after giving birth to her daughter Zhenzhen.
You may find it strange, why do we still talk about orange peel in the winter? That's because the landmark improvement in orange peel takes half a year, and it's just spring, which is a good time to implement action and have brilliant results when the summer comes.
Want to know what these bold show-legged female celebrities do? Watch it, move it, and be the hottest version of yourself ever this summer.
Cellulite, as the name suggests, is a wrinkled bump in the skin, and it often occurs in places such as thighs, hips, knees, and waist and abdomen. We sorted out everyone's common confusion about orange peel and answered them one by one, after understanding orange peel, the countermeasures came naturally.
Q1.Why is orange peel only for women?
Indeed, regardless of whether they are tall, fat or thin, the probability of men obtaining orange peel is very low, one of which is that the change in the level of orange peel and estrogen is closely related, and the other is related to the fiber trend of dermal tissue.
Orange peel, to put it bluntly, is a fat mass, when the fat cells are too large and too large, they will be pushed outward to the dermis, and the epidermis will further appear uneven after being pushed.
Estrogens have a decisive effect on both skin and fat. First of all, as age increases and estrogen decreases, the moisture, collagen, and elastin in the dermis and fascia layers will decrease, resulting in a decrease in skin tension, a decrease in support, and a decrease in sagging.
At the same time, because women's subcutaneous fibrous bundles (connective tissue) are vertical and loose, while men are closely intertwined oblique networks, when the real cortex is pushed by excessive fat cells, the uneven skin will be more obvious.
Women also have poor metabolic power of fat cells due to decreased estrogen, which can also affect blood flow to connective tissue. Under the blows of many parties, if you want to defeat the orange peel, you must have more corresponding countermeasures, such as adjusting your diet is the first step.
Sugar, fat, tobacco and alcohol are the number one causes of deterioration in the body and skin, and orange peel is no exception. Reducing sugar and fat intake can help stabilize estrogen levels, promote metabolism and reduce fat clumping, and the process of cellulite production will be blocked.
Q2.Why does orange peel often grow on the lower limbs?
Long-term sedentary and unchanged posture are the biggest reasons for fat accumulation and muscle mass reduction, and low skin elasticity is the last blow.
Abnormal water metabolism due to lack of activity, excessive polymerization of connective tissue, and chronic poor venous circulation are also "comprehensive conditions" for tissue orange peeling.
The severity of the orange peel is also different, when the naked eye is invisible to the slight period of time do not take it lightly, you can try to squeeze the leg skin, if the orange peel appears, you need to start to be vigilant, otherwise it may become a more serious and difficult situation.
Q3.Will there be orange peel after slimming down?
Indeed, because orange peel is produced by fat hoarding, weight is controlled and a BMI of 8.5 ≦ is maintained
However, it should also be noted that weight loss is not equal to "fat loss", many dieting ways to lose weight are muscle weight, and fat volume is only a small change. Protein in muscles and skin also decreases due to improper diet, so even if you lose weight, orange peel will not improve.
The right way to do this is to eat a standardized diet, reduce fat intake, boost protein and fiber, increase muscle mass, adjust metabolism, and have significant results with strength training. And also pay attention to the fact that the key after weight loss is maintenance, and sudden fat and thin will also greatly increase the difficulty of eliminating orange peel.
Q4.There is no orange peel yet, is there any way to prevent it?
In addition to the above conditions, there are of course genetic factors in the formation of orange peel, but not all people are chosen women, so the idea of prevention and prior intervention is very correct.
Once the BMI is controlled, it is time to work on delaying skin aging. In daily maintenance, in addition to dietary conditioning, you can use body lotions with anti-aging effects such as retinol, vitamin E, vitamin C and other ingredients; in the summer when you need to expose your legs, leg sun protection is equally important.
As mentioned earlier, the "cultivation" of orange peel has the accumulation of time and human factors, so it is certainly difficult to change the opportunity to lie flat. Moreover, this change not only can repel the orange peel, but also has a positive effect on the health of the skin in other parts of the body, and this effort is very cost-effective on the whole.
Are the supermodels all chosen? Not exactly, even with tall and thin genes, as you age and have children, orange peel will come to you.
In order to maintain a good state, diligent dry brushing is a compulsory course for them. The most basic effect of dry brushing is to promote blood circulation, but also through the pressure of the bristles to make the fat dispersed more evenly, so as to look flatter.
At the same time, dry brushing can also help improve lymphatic circulation and improve edema. Also because the lymphatic circulation becomes better, the immunity will also be enhanced. Therefore, you can brush for 5 minutes before bathing, the technique is to brush from the outside end of the body to the inside, without too much force, the skin has a degree of blood vessel dilation slight redness is enough.
After bathing, when the body temperature rises and the circulation becomes faster, it will be more effective to cooperate with the massage. At the same time, the ingredients also have a bonus effect, and you can choose the corresponding ingredients according to your own needs:
1. Promote circulation and metabolism: caffeine
2. Strengthen skin firmness: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, shea butter, ceramides
3. Prevent fat re-accumulation: Coriander seed, bitter orange seed extract
The skin becomes stronger and more elastic, and the fat distribution is more even, which is the beginning of the slow disappearance of orange peel. If the aging of skin and fat cells is more serious, you can also try some non-invasive laser and ultrasound treatments, which are also more efficient means.
But then, strengthening sports training is the way out to make the orange peel disappear, and it is also a powerful measure to prevent a new round of orange peel.
We all know that eating less and moving more is the underlying logic of eliminating cellulite, and the elasticity of the dermis and fascia layer of muscles and skin is also assisted by exercise, so moving must be the best strategy against cellulite.
1. Lower limb movement:
Fast aerobic exercise such as cycling, running, brisk walking, and elliptical machines are all great ways to burn fat while improving poor circulation.
If you want to further increase the intensity of exercise, the Kardashian sisters' favorite stair climbing machine is also an artifact of fat reduction and orange peel.
Of course, hiking with three or five friends and participating in trampoline sports are also good lower limb exercises. The focus of the "exercise" effect is that the activity process must have a heart rate increase, if it is only a gentle slow walk shopping, the effect of reducing orange peel may not be ideal.
In addition, yoga and Pilates seem to be very "quiet", but they are very good circulation improvement exercises, which is also very helpful for the edema metabolism of the lower limbs.
2. Weight training:
Exercising muscle endurance not only shapes muscles, but also increases exercise levels in deep tissues and helps prevent cellulite buildup.
Effective muscle training can make local muscles support the skin, but also make connective tissue stronger and more elastic, more able to stimulate hormone secretion, and truly improve orange peel in many ways.
However, after exercise, you need to pay attention to stretching to avoid muscle tension, tight, stiff muscles will also promote blood and lymphatic circulation deterioration, which is harmful to repelling orange peel.
Many people will implement a weight loss and body shaping plan from the beginning of the holiday, and in about half a year, the results can be displayed. Start now and add strategies that can improve the orange peel to the body contouring program, and this summer may have the opportunity to stop hiding the orange peel.
However, whether there is orange peel can not define a woman's beauty, accepting her imperfections also means that there is more room for progress and creates a motivation to get better.
In the matter of orange peel, Rihanna chose to express her hatred for "it" without hesitation, but she also chose to be self-consistent, because of this, she always has a strong confidence, believing that even if there are some changes in body shape after giving birth, her light will still exist, and even add a touch of maternal love, we look forward to seeing a different Rihanna.
Heck, it looks like the album has to wait a little longer.
