Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1

Understand what cellulite is. Cellulite is a fatty substance that is found under your connective tissues. As it accumulates it pushes against the connective tissues and makes the skin pucker and ripple.

Step2

Develop an exercise program that is designed to help remove your body fat content. Exercise is an effective way of reducing the amount of cellulite that you have. Effective exercise programs will need to include cardio, strength training and flexibility training. You should try working out at least 3 to 4 times a week.

Step3

Buy a moisturizer that has a sunless tanner mixed in. The moisturizer will hydrate you skin and reduce the severity of the rippling. The sunless tanner will darken you skin making your cellulite less visible. This is a great cosmetic trick to hide cellulite while you work on lowering your body fat content.

Step4

Shop for a quality cellulite treatment cream. There are a lot of these products on the market. You want to look for a cream that contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Step5

Try skin brushing. This technique is very simple and relatively inexpensive. Simply use a loofah sponge or a soft body brush and scrub your hips, thighs and belly. This not only helps you to exfoliate, but it also stimulates blood flow and supports lymph functions. This will help to minimize the appearance of cellulite.

Step6

Consider surgical treatments to remove cellulite. Some of your options include liposuction and mesotherapy. Talk to your plastic surgeon to see if these options are right for you and your condition.

Tips & Warnings

A multi-faceted approach works best when trying to remove cellulite. Try matching a diet and exercise program with topical creams that include anti-oxidants.

on 6/9/2008 Hi,
I used to have pretty bad cellulite ever since my pregnancy days. I tried altering my diet and did a lot of exercise which friends and family members recommended but my skin was still lumpy and floppy. I then recently read an article by a lady who claimed to have got rid of her cellulite using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. Within a couple of weeks my skin had improved so much and I actually managed to get rid of my cellulite. Really good stuff. You can read more about the lady's article at the link below:
