elitenaildesign Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I watched a show on tv where drs tested top cellulite lotions and none of them worked. I was disapointed. But you know how tv is. So if someone does come up with one that works, I would like to order a truckload for my haildents that appeared this last winter on my A** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jldorrington Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 suprisingly the few times i used the cellulite scrub i made did make a small difference and i mean the very few times but those oily suger scrubs skeeve me out lol so i'm hoping to figure something out with these ingredients cause my stomache is just destroyed from pregnancy. i need firming and some magical concoction to get ride of stretch marks lol. not to mention something for my haildents. i love when people look at my and go ohhh you don't need to loose weight. all i can think is yeah you can't see the cottage cheese all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 For the green tea you could add green tea extract to the butter, also try adding a bit of cocoa butter with a little vitmain e and collagen which I believe I saw at ingredientstodiefor. Or you could try using the ingredients and incorporating them into an emulsified body butter with jojoba as the oil. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovelyLathers Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have also heard that coffee butter and caffine are very good for cellulite and firming. FNWL has some info on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachdream Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have seen an anti-cellulite product with guarana extract in it too. Think its the same idea as the caffeine, increases circulation. Shame you didnt like the scrub. I made and have been using an emulsified foaming sugar scrub for the past two weeks and can see an improvement in my bumps and dimples already (or maybe its wishful thinking?).

jldorrington Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 lol yeah caffine is supposed to work wonders... now if only they had some kind of caffine serum i could add to this butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFCILynn Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 They actually do have caffiene that can be added but the risks and dangers is something that you will have to be EXACT on or it can kill someone! I had done alot of research before myself for a cellulite cream that I could make and had decided that I will NOT use caffiene, unless I used actual coffee, in any B&B stuff!! Too many risks involved! For your stretch marks, I second on using Vitamin E!!! Seaweed extract can also be a great firming ingredient! It also helps draw out the toxins! I wish you luck and fully understand about the cottage cheese body!! I cant stand it and with my health, I cant exercise like I need to so I feel very trapped in this darn old body of mine! KNOW that anything you make will only temporarily minimize the appearance of cellulite!! There are no creams or lotions that will get rid of them completely!! Liposuction surgery cant even get rid of cellulite because it is below the fat surface! God Bless,Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 ok caffine right off that list lol. nothing is worth that.and temporary or not until i have a place that i can actually run without having to worry about getting hit by a tractor (farm equipment or tractor trailer) i need all the help i can get. lol. now has anyone figured out a way to get your rear to travel north a little?

EmpressC Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 now has anyone figured out a way to get your rear to travel north a little?Sprint up hill, or use the treadmill on an incline. It will change you butt (for the better) dramatically! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 i live in south jersey its flat as a pancake out here. and i wish i had the money for a tread mill.. we were gonna use the tax return but then realized we had over $4,000 worth of debt... hmmm we could always pay off the old debt and start working on next years. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have two things I use for my behind that when I do them even for a week or two I can already notcie the difference, but thats when I have the time to do them. Anyways there is a workout video I got at target called "Shape" Hips, Buns, and Thighs it is an awesome video and not one of those videos that are so difficult you give up. The other thing I did was get one of those Nordic Trac elliptical machines. I bought it from an online site, I forget the name, but if I remember I will let you know, anyhow it was $1000 I think, but the great thing was they let me do a payment plan of $99 per month. And let me tell you that thing was so worth it. I get so bored on the treadmills, this one is a little more fun for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well now I can't disagree with that. The treadmill IS boring!!! But when I just walk on an incline (steep), I've seen my butt turn from flab to FABulous!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitenaildesign Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The other thing I did was get one of those Nordic Trac elliptical machinesI asked the Easter bunny for one of these, but he let me down.You know what sucks is, I have a FREE membership to a gym with awesome equipement and do you think I ever go? Heck no!I was going pretty gung ho(is that a word) last year for 4 months and what a difference it made and I felft so much better, but now I am just too lazy.sorry to hijack the thread.

Jadryga Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't know about caffeine causing death if applied topically... maybe if you used pure caffeine... but if it's in coffee or guarana extract, I doubt we absorb enough caffeine through our skin to rival the amount of caffeine we ingest from an espresso. There's a lot of hype so far about caffeine helping with fluid retention when applied topically though, so might want to consider guarana extract or even better, cocoa.Cocoa = antioxidants, caffeine, yummilicious smell. Biotherm uses that stuff in their Abdo-choc...Then there's the seaweed extract someone mentioned earlier.Here's a company with a pretty extensive botanical extract range, though they're NZ-based.http://www.aromaticsandmore.com/products/botanical_extracts1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Found this thread when looking for firming ingredients to put in a lotion.

HorseScentS Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Sprint up hill, or use the treadmill on an incline. It will change you butt (for the better) dramatically! I used to be a personal trainer, and walking on a treadmill at an incline does work wonders, also: the Precor Eliptical machine targets your glutes intensely, and so do squats with free weights, and lunges. Thigh cream made with caffeine in it really does work, and you can get the caffeine from suppliers, but it's dangerous and even deadly if you use too much. I might make some for myself.

This would be for myself since I'm prone to get puffy eyes when making candles and salt intake. Had read about creams with it included and never read anyone warn about it. Sitting on this chair, addicted to the forum has caused some indents not there before winter...lol. So I'd of made it and possibly added too much if you hadn't warned.

I love papain because I used to get Victoria Principal's Principal Secret skin care stuff, and she had a mask with papain, a powerful enzyme from papaya, which ate up all the wrinkles, acne, and spots, and old dead skin. It was awesome! But, you're not allowed to sell creams with papain anymore, just make it for yourself. Everything that really works gets taken off the market after some dummy hurts themselves with it.

Ravens Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Nothing you apply on the outside will have a permanent effect on those inner pockets of fat globules (aka "hail dents", LOL). Exercise is your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
