Honey Cupping at Home for Cellulite - Easy Remedy
Cellulite is a new abnormal distribution of the tissues under the skin. It is caused by subcutaneous enlarged fat cells grouped together and surrounded by protein fibrous bands, that are moved through the damaged connective tissue up to be near the epidermis.
Cupping creates a vacuum effect that helps relocate those components to acquire the normal distribution, or a situation that is close to normal, thus destroying cellulite. To improve blood circulation in your skin tissue and muscle, and reinforce the vacuum effect, you will use honey with cupping.
1- Cupping using a cup or a glass jar:
- Apply a thin layer of honey to the affected zone and then apply the cup to the skin using circular motions (your skin will be sucked into the cup)
- Tear away the cup from your body and repeat the process for 5-10 minutes
- You should make sure that the skin is sucking into the cup, if not, just press the cup to your body and push more skin under the cup using your finger
- Do not overdo to avoid bruises
- Do this massage at least twice a week for 1 month
2- Cupping using your hands :
Another way is to use your hands to do a massage using honey, but this requires that you do it 5-10 minutes a time, every other day for 1 m0nth (15 times). The results start being seen after the second massage.
- Apply a thin layer of honey over the problem zone (hips and buttocks will need about 2 teaspoons), then press your clean DRY hands to your skin
- Easy at first, tearing away your hands will become more difficult with every move because the tension force increases. it is slightly painful
- Continue until honey turns white under your hands
- After the massage your skin should be red with a burning sensation. Any small bruises will go fast
Honey message is one of the most effectiveremedies for cellulite. It has been be tried by a lot of women of different ages with great success.
WARNING : Do not use honey massage if you have varicose veins on the cellulite spot, or if you are allergic to honey

Emu Oil Skin Care, Scar, and Acne
Emu oil is extracted from the Australian Emu bird. It has been used for very long years by the Australian aborigines for the treatment of burns, wounds, bruises, and as a pain relief of for bones, muscles and joint disorders.Recent scientific research has confirmed the benefit of this oil in many of the claimed ones. It reduces scar formation and anti-inflammatory effect of arthritis and induces relief of eczema.
Emu oil is composed of esters of the following fatty acids :approximately 70% mono-unsturated acids, with the largest component Oleic acid, 20% Linoleic acid, and 1-2% Linolenic acid. You can find these informations even more detailed on the internet, but what attracted my attention about its composition are the following aspects:
- It is a neutral lipid since it does not contain phospholipids, a property that is shared by fish oil. It contains high amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids (Linolenic acid), Omega 6 fatty acids (Linoleic acid), and Omega 9 fatty acids (Oleic acid)
This composition offers the the skin the following advantages:
- Lack of phospholipid makes it penetrate deeply into the skin. Phospholipids are an essential component of most cell membranes, and once they are abundant they readily form membranes (micelles), when they entrap any thing from the surrounding environment, the micelle may increase in size and clog pores in the skin (when applied topically) , thus they do not form black heads, a property that is appreciated in treatment of acne.
- Its content of omega 3 fatty acis that are readily incorporated into the cell membranes, makes these cells are more capable of producing larger amounts of prostaglandins 1 and 3, which counteract the effect of prostaglandins 2 in originating inflammation.
- Its similar composition to that of the cell membranes makes it suitable for carrying an active ingredient, as well as having a quick response, since it is readily incorporated into the cell membranes as it is without any more further processing.

Homemade Natural Vaseline
Vaseline is a part of Oil (Petroleum), it is composed of long-chain saturated hydrocarbons. Both Vaseline and plastics are derivatives of oil, and they are both impermeable to water. Do not wrap your skin and learn how you can make your own natural product.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 .................. Almond oil

- Mix the resultant mixture in a mixer
- Pour into a suitable vehicle (you can use your old cleaned container)
- Let to cool and cover the jar
Now you have your natural fatty base, and you can elaborate to include any oil or any additives, Examples:
Baby Vaseline:
- 1/4 ................. Olive oil
- 1TBSP ............... Chamomile oil
- 1TBSP ............... Aloe Vera oil
- 1TBSP ............... Beeswax (grated)

Honey Lip Gloss:
Combine 3 tablespoons of your made Vaseline with one teaspoon of honey, and use the same procedure to melt and let cool.
You can use different flavors like Alkanet root, Cherry flavoring oil, peppermint oil, Coffee grinds .... etc, with any type you like.
With practice, you may be also capable of making your own cream. Any cream consists of a fatty base, emulsifier (soap-like material and you can actually use soap), stabilizer (Gum or Starch like material), and water. Practice and keep visiting this blog, chances are you can make your own cosmetics.... sell them? may be.
