Women are hostages of beauty canons.At all times, they tried to comply with these canons and made all conceivable and inconceivable sacrifices. They even came up with a saying - beauty requires sacrifice. Of course, we justify ourselves by saying this, because we always want to be beautiful and in spite of everything. But what is interesting is that each time has its own requirements for the female ideal. For example, Rubens would simply fall on his knees in front of women who are considered overly plump today! In those days, lumpy fat deposits on a woman's body did not bother anyone. But we, unlike Rubens' beauties, suffer even from the thought of possible cellulite. If it does appear, we begin to vigorously fight this scourge, using any means, from folk to ultra-modern. Everything is used: gels, compresses, wraps, and massage. By the way, honey massage against cellulite is still considered one of the most effective means. Let's find out what it is and how to perform honey anti-cellulite massage at home.
What is honey massage?
Honey massage is a typereflexology, based on the interaction of substances contained in honey with human skin. This method was developed in ancient Tibet and has proven itself throughout its existence as one of the most effective ways to combat cellulite and prevent and treat many diseases: osteochondrosis, radiculitis, vegetative-vascular dystonia, arthrosis, etc. Honey massage is especially useful for those who suffer from diseases of the upper respiratory tract and joints. The tangible and visible effect of honey massage is explained by the fact that after its implementation, the speed of blood circulation increases and metabolism improves. Subcutaneous seals are smoothed out, and the skin itself becomes smooth and elastic. Honey facial massage helps not only to smooth out wrinkles and restore youth and freshness, but also to improve the health of the entire body as a whole. Biological substances of honey during such a massage act on the nerve receptors of the skin associated with the human autonomic system and its internal organs, which begin to work more actively. A complex chain of reactions triggered by honey massage has a beneficial effect on them, removes toxins and increases the tone of the body. If here and its subtleties. So, for example, if a person suffers from diseases of the lungs or bronchi, with honey massage of the face it is necessary to massage the cheeks more strongly, with diseases of the cardiovascular system - the tip of the nose, with diseases of the intestines - the forehead. Honey massage of the abdomen has similar properties. It tightens muscles and improves intestinal peristalsis, however, such a procedure is often quite painful, so it is better to do it with specialists. In general, some varieties of honey massage can be done independently. For example, honey massage against cellulite can be done on almost any part of the body, with the exception of those areas where the lymph nodes are concentrated. These are the chest, popliteal and armpit areas, neck and groin. Massage on the knees and ankles is done carefully, with a small amount of honey. But it should be remembered that honey massage has contraindications - it is strictly contraindicated for people with allergies to honey, hypertensive patients, those with high fever, thrombophlebitis and women during menstruation.

Honey massage can be done at home withouthelp of a specialist. To do this, apply honey to your hands and first lightly pat the massaged areas one by one. After the honey has been applied to all such areas, your palms should be firmly glued to the skin and then quickly torn off. These actions promote deeper penetration of honey into the skin, which then, cleansing the skin of toxins and slags, comes out of it and remains on the palms in the form of a white mass. The honey massage procedure causes, especially during the first sessions, noticeable pain and even leaves bruises on some parts of the body. However, over time, the pain will subside, and the bruises will disappear. After the massage is finished, wash off the honey with warm water without adding soap or gels, and apply a moisturizer to the skin. For facial massage, apply honey in an even layer. Do not make circular or horizontal movements with your fingers on the face - you only need to do light pressure without pain, and then release for five minutes. This is enough for honey to penetrate deep into the pores of the face and remove toxins and sebaceous plugs from the skin. The face is not washed after such a massage - it will dry itself and become fresh and rosy. Honey facial massage not only refreshes it - it improves brain function and improves vision due to the enzymes and phytoncides contained in honey.

Anti-cellulite massage with honey is carried out in the same way as a general honey massage of the body. With the palms of the hands with honey applied to them, first lightly pat the areas with cellulite, and then firmly glue the palms to the skin and abruptly tear them off. The hands are gradually pressed tighter and tighter to the body and torn off more and more abruptly. Such manipulations are carried out for five to ten minutes, after which the honey is washed off with warm water using a soft washcloth, and the skin is lubricated with a moisturizer. Initially, the massage procedure can be very painful, but over time the skin will get used to it, and the pain will pass. Of course, you should not make the claps extremely strong. The improvement in the condition of the body occurs due to the healing properties of honey, so it is enough for it to simply penetrate the skin as deeply as possible. If the skin has clearly visible vessels and veins, it is better not to get carried away with honey massage, but to choose some other method of combating cellulite.
