Lymphatic drainage as well as decrease body swelling also helps fight cellulite and fats as unwanted. This type of massage is to activate and accelerate the lymphatic system, eliminating faster fluids and toxins from the body.

Massages by professionals are more accurate as the results, but you can make yourself at home, thereby helping to eliminate these toxins. See how:

You must first prepare the skin with an exfoliation that can be done once a week. Massage the skin in a circular motion for 15 minutes before draining.

Lymphatic drainage can be done by hand, but who prefer to use objects such as bamboo, bath sponge, among others. Use a cream or oil that the hand slides more easily. To give an effect best use creams with active ingredients such as caffeine, guarana, ginko biloba, etc.

You can do the massage of the upper limbs to the armpits, in the trunk and face and lower limbs to the groin. These areas have lymph nodes, that with this stimulation helps release more easily the net.

Do not make sudden movements, but light circular movements, always upward. With the hand-shaped conchinha also make slow and light compression movements as if pumping the skin. Repeat this process eight times in those areas.

Repeat lymphatic drainage two to three times per week. You will see great results.
