Slimming principle
Drain and reduce swelling
It is understood that one of the effects of slimming product promotion is to promote blood circulation and intracellular circulation, eliminate toxins, and eliminate edema. Choose the slimming products not to be "little abdomen". If you see cocoa extract, capsaicin, lavender, geranium and other ingredients in slimming products, you can understand that it is beneficial to promote drainage and reduce swelling. Many products contain capsaicin, its role is to clear blood vessels, stimulate the nervous system, and improve lymphatic drainage and perspiration, thereby improving edema-type obesity.
First of all, the term "edema obesity" is unscientific. Obesity is the accumulation of fat, that is, fat cell hypertrophy. If the edema is also systemic, not local, unless it is caused by certain diseases. Healthy women generally have the highest level of estrogen secretion in the first few days of their menstrual cycle. They store potassium, sodium, and electrolytes, which means they store water, which leads to edema. This is normal. With the end of the menstrual cycle, edema The phenomenon will disappear naturally.
The function of "capsaicin" is to expand blood vessels and stimulate nerves. If you feel "hot", it is the sensation of circulatory expansion, the sensation of nerves and muscles, not the fat consumption of muscles, and it is not caused by the increase in fat metabolism rate.
Caffeine firming
Slimming products have always focused on "firming." In the introduction of the product, it is said that human cellulite is caused by the loss of balance between the storage and release of fat, resulting in the appearance of cellulite due to the spongy relaxation of the epidermis. If you want to eliminate cellulite, you must start with water-based fats. The second effect of slimming products is to eliminate these cellulite. According to reports, caffeine and other ingredients contained in many products can effectively eliminate orange peel. In addition, the extracts from caffeine, ginkgo and horse chestnut can accelerate fat metabolism.
Expert interpretation: Caffeine can increase heart rate, increase basal metabolic rate, and increase lipase activity. Due to the keratin of the skin, if you want to consume it by applying, the effect is minimal. Because the skin can absorb very little, and a certain concentration is required to produce an effect, generally 5 mg per kilogram of body weight, and how can a slimming cream contain so much caffeine.
In addition, caffeine has a diuretic effect, but the removal of water is not the same as the fat consumed, and excessive use of caffeine can cause side effects such as heart rate disturbance, loss of protein and calcium. If you want to eliminate the orange peel phenomenon, you can only consume excess fat. The fat disappears and the orange peel is gone. This can only be achieved through exercise and diet control.

Selection skills
Check background and word of mouth before buying. The quality of slimming cream can only be evaluated from its slimming efficacy. Before buying, you need to know which brands of slimming creams are "professional" grade. The so-called professional grade means that the brand's body products are important in all skin care products. A place for the body; it is a complete body product line; there are slimming products for different parts or different problems, rather than a single slimming cream.

Good products are always hotly discussed. Choose the texture according to the season. Normally, high-efficiency slimming creams use light and thin textures such as mouth gels, which are easy to absorb and have a good slimming effect. However, there are also rich cream textures that have both moisturizing and slimming effects. You can choose according to the season or preference.
