An Overview on the Two Newest Cellulite Firming Lotions

As the season will soon be approaching warmer temperatures, department stores are un packing swimsuits left and right. Mini skirts and spaghetti strap tanks are now replacing hooded sweatshirts and sweaters. The latest trend in the cosmetic aisle of many stores in cellulite firming products. Cellulite is where pockets of fat are trapped in certain areas and a cottage cheese like appearance happens. The stomach, thighs and buttocks are the common areas for cellulite. Many of these items come in a lotion form costing in the range between $3-12 depending on where you shop. Two items recently caught my attention in Wal*Mart.

One was the Jergens Skin Firming Daily Toning Moisturizer. On the front of the bottom the product claims it visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite. The product comes out in a pump dispenser with a light fragrance. You simply rub the product into the cellulite prone areas daily. In 2 weeks the product describes your skin will increase visibly in elasticity, firmness and the texture. In 8 weeks you can expect to see smoother skin with dimpled cellulite reduced. In 2 weeks I did see softer skin but that was about it. After 5 weeks- not much has changed. The cost for this product was around $3.50 for an 8oz fl. Unsatisfied with the item- I moved on to try another product I had heard a lot of good results.

Nivea Body Good-Bye Cellulite. The product comes in a navy blue-off white 6.7 oz squeeze body. It also states on the front it visibly reduces the appearance of Cellulite. This item is more of a gel-cream substance rather than just a lotion. Made in France, the product contains L- Carnitine. For those wondering, L-Carnitine is found naturally in your skin to help exchange of the fat and turn it into energy. In return your skin has less appearance of cellulite. It does have a somewhat strong fragrance but that does disappear after it has dried on the skin for a while. As the Jergens product, Nivea Body's product focuses also on 2 weeks before seeing results. But gives a shorter amount of time to see cellulite reducing results in only 4 weeks. In less than 4 weeks I saw a reduction in cellulite which was quite surprising. The product itself costs around $10.00 and depending on how much you use it, lasts between 4-6 weeks.

I would suggest Nivea Body for light to mild cases of cellulite. Keep in mind that one product may work wonders for one person and be a huge disappointment for another. Also exercising helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite overtime. There currently is no quick fix for removing cellulite.
