What is Body Slimming Oil?

Losing weight and getting in shape are common goals. Depending on your health and life goals, it usually involves a combination of exercise and eating right. As a complement to the body contouring process, some use body slimming oils to target areas where fat is commonly stored such as the belly, thighs, and arms.

These oils contain ingredients that are said to aid in fat burning and skin tightening. Although the effects of such oils may differ from person to person, some find them to be a helpful addition to their body-shaping efforts.

What are the Different Types of Body Fat?

You may think there is only one type of body fat but there are several types that are present in our bodies.

White Fat

White fat, also referred to as white adipose tissue, is a common storage of energy in our bodies. It plays a role in producing adiponectin, a hormone to manage the production of insulin, as well as leptin, which helps in controlling hunger. While white fat is essential, excessive accumulation can lead to stubborn fat deposits, potentially causing feelings of frustration or dissatisfaction as this fat can be challenging to lose.

Visceral Fat

Visceral fat, otherwise known as hidden fat does not have any positive traits as its name suggests. It is stored deep in our bodies and accumulates around internal organs like the heart, and liver. Unlike subcutaneous fat which is found just beneath the skin and is relatively harmless, visceral fat in higher levels can cause a range of health risks.

Subcutaneous Fat

Subcutaneous fat is located near the skin’s surface and can be grabbed and pinched with your fingers. It can be commonly found around the thighs for females and abdomen for males, serving as a padding to protect your bones and muscles from impact. However, if too much of it is present in your body, there may be a higher risk of health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and fatty liver disease.

What are the Areas Where Body Slimming Oil is Commonly Used?

Belly

Everyone has some belly fat regardless of gender and it is known to be resistant to breakdown during exercise and dieting. This is because the fat cells in the belly have more alpha receptors than other parts of the body, making them difficult to remove.

In addition to being a cosmetic concern, belly fat can also cause worries when it comes to health, as it is associated with the risk of conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Body slimming oil may be used as part of a comprehensive approach to aid in reducing the appearance of belly fat and allowing for a more toned midsection.

Thighs

Our thighs have some of the largest muscles in the human body and support a significant part of our weight. However, despite their strength and functionality, it is an area where fat can accumulate. Similar to belly fat, it can be a slow process when it comes to having a contoured look, even with the use of exercise and dieting.

Additionally, thigh fat may also be accompanied by cellulite, characterised by a dimpled, wrinkly, or lumpy appearance, which can be an aesthetic concern for some individuals. Body slimming oils are believed to aid in tightening the skin, alleviating the appearance of cellulite, as well as targeting underlying fat cells.

Arms

Arm fat, which is also referred to as “flabby arms”, is a common complaint amongst individuals of both genders regardless of their fitness level. You can be fit and healthy and still notice the development of fat in your arms. This collection of fat may lead to a loss of muscle tone and definition in the arms, leading to some individuals feeling self-conscious, especially when wearing sleeveless clothing.  

The development of fat and extra skin in the arm can be caused by several factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, genetics, and significant weight loss. Furthermore, ageing can result in a natural loss of muscle mass and skin elasticity, leading to a more pronounced appearance of arm fat.

How Can Body Slimming Oil Be Used For Contouring and Shaping?

Massage

You can apply the body slimming oil to your skin and massage it into targeted areas using circular motions. This technique can encourage the breakdown of fat, and improve blood circulation. If it is performed by a practitioner with knowledge of massage, it can help you relax and ease tension out of your muscles.  

Application to Specific Areas

Directly apply the oil to areas where fat tends to accumulate, such as the belly, thighs, and arms. This allows you to decide which part of your body where you would like to burn fat as well as contour. We recommend using the body slimming oil consistently as part of your skincare regimen.

Combine with Other Methods

While body slimming oil can be used on its own, it is mostly combined with other methods such as exercise and a healthy diet. This can help you adopt a comprehensive approach to body contouring and fat burning.
