HOW TO REDUCE PREGNANCY CELLULITE AT HOME: NO TO CUP, YES TO FINGERS
If we want to try to reduce the appearance of the orange peel during pregnancy at home, girls, we can try to carry out draining massages on our own, obviously with some precautions.
First of all, the choice of products: according to experts, it would be better to avoid using mixes of oils not produced specifically for pregnant women. In fact, some essential oils are not indicated during pregnancy: it is better to be on the safe side, preferring the classic 100% pure, fragrance-free almond oil.

Also avoid accessories that could put stress on our capillaries, such as the anti-cellulite cup.
It is a real silicone cup that, thanks to the suction of the offending tissue, helps to reduce cellulite by carrying out a very deep massage. However, when the capillaries are fragile it is best to avoid them: we could make them burst and end up with bad bruises.
For an anti-cellulite massage at home, therefore, use almond oil and spread it on the “offending” areas. Let’s take our time to massage and make it penetrate well, remembering to always go from the bottom up (and never the other way around) to stimulate the drainage of liquids. Let’s be delicate and don’t overdo it: a few minutes will be enough.
HOW TO PREVENT CELLULITE IN PREGNANCY? PASSWORD: DRINK (A LOT) AND MOVE
Since cellulite in pregnancy derives, in large part, from the lack of drainage of liquids and their consequent stagnation, the tricks to prevent it are all connected to diet and movement.
Let’s remember to drink a lot but not only: movement (moderate) is the key to counteracting the stagnation of liquids and cellulite in pregnancy. If you are tired and feel too “heavy” to walk, you prefer activities in the pool: there are many aquafitness courses for pregnancy.
Also avoid taking too hot baths and showers, preferring lukewarm showers instead. If you can, aim the cold jet on the areas affected by cellulite during pregnancy at the end of the shower, and then continue with a draining massage.
Girls, that’s all for today. Obviously, as we told you above, it is not possible to completely eliminate cellulite in pregnancy but there are some ways to mitigate its appearance while waiting to be able to proceed with targeted treatments or stronger sports activities after childbirth. And you, have you suffered from cellulite during pregnancy? If so, how did you deal with it? Did you prefer to postpone until after the birth?
