What Is the Difference Between Firming Lotions & Anti Cellulite Creams?
Confusion tends to set in when it comes to deciphering the difference between firming lotions and anti-cellulite creams. After all, the advertisements for both seem to indicate they offer similar if not the same results. However, they are in fact different and give you different results. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Targeted Areas
-
Firming lotions are generally OK to use on any area of the body that you want to firm up. Anti-cellulite creams are targeted more toward areas where cellulite is present, or areas you want to prevent cellulite from forming, like the thighs and buttocks.
Loose Skin
-
Firming lotions tend to have agents targeted toward firming loose or saggy skin. You won't benefit using anti-cellulite creams for saggy skin.
-
Ingredients
-
Look for anti-cellulite creams that include seaweed extract, caffeine, vitamins, antioxidants and L-carnitine. When choosing a firming lotion watch for these main ingredients: Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, phytessence wakame and Cynergy TK.
Anti-Aging
-
Some lotions and creams now come with anti-aging properties. A variety of firming lotions contain anti-aging properties that you can find out by reading the product's label.
Final Results
-
Firming lotion may give you firmer skin but will not treat cellulite. Anti-cellulite creams may reduce the appearance of cellulite but will not tighten the skin.
