Firstly, cellulite is not a recognized medical term, and many medical people insist that there is no such condition.

However, for us that know cellulite exists, let us summarize cellulite as follows:
- Regular fat can be found anywhere on the body
- Cellulite however tends to settle on the
- Inner, upper and back of thighs
- Upper back
- Below the shoulders
- Ankles
- Inside and back of upper arms
- Buttocks
- Lower back
- Hips and stomach
To see if you have cellulite on your body, press tissue between your thumb and finger, or between your two hands.
If it is "normal fat", it will appear smooth, with no ripples and no bumps - but if you have a corrugated look on your skin - or skin looking like orange peel - then you have cellulite.
 A VERY MILD CASE OF CELLULITE
Cellulite tissue is also normally sensitive, whereas normal fat is not.
Just to massage any cream or lotion into your cellulite skin in not going to work, as simply to increase circulation is not going to do the trick.
There are various botanical extracts that will however assist in removing cellulite - and that would include grapefruit, rosemary, bitter orange and horsetail.
Other ingredients that will help include centella, butcher's broom, fucus (iodine containing marine algae), ivy and seaweed (mineral salts and iodine).
When our research team started to formulate a cellulite cream, the type of product as well as the ingredients were carefully considered.
As a base they started with all the general ingredients - including grapefruit, rosemary, bitter orange, horsetail, centella, butcher's broom, fucus, ivy and seaweed.
- These ingredients alone would however work far too slowly.
Although Ageless manufactures the HERBAL cellulite
product, our holding company - Sallamander Concepts - makes
a product called
Cellumend, and its active ingredient is not herbal, but a peptide called
Liporeductyl.
As we said in the beginning - some medical people do not accept the term "cellulite" - although we know that it is truly a problem that some people, mostly women, suffer from.
Start off by using our Cellumend

It would be a wonderful world if we could simply eat what we wanted to and it did not affect the way we look or feel - yet the reality of life is that your diet influences your looks, your figure and the way you age.

Shallow breathing causes our blood not to be aerated properly and also prevents the toxic gasses to be expelled from our bodies.
