Best treatments for cellulite – Part 3
5 Tips to Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite
“Cottage cheese” or “orange peel” maybe some of the names
you have heard used to describe cellulite. Practically,
every woman cringes at the thought of hearing the word
“cellulite”. What is cellulite? Fatty deposits under the
skin that create uneven patches of dimpled or orange peel
like skin. Common parts of the body that cellulite appear
are the buttocks, thighs and hips.
Approximately 85-90% of women suffer from cellulite. It
was previously thought that mostly overweight persons were
affected by cellulite. Factors such as heredity, poor diet,
a lack of water intake, pregnancy and aging may contribute
to the development of cellulite. Even thin women can be
affected by this condition.
Currently, there is no known cure for cellulite. However,
there are many products on the market that can reduce its
appearance. Consider the following tips to help reduce
the appearance of cellulite:
-Drink plenty of water. Water helps remove toxins from the
body and keep the body hydrated
-Avoid foods high in fat content. Eat plenty of fiber foods.
-Limit your alcohol and caffeine intake
-Exercise. Walking is an easy exercise and this can
be done with a buddy.
-Use a topical treatment (cream, lotion). Many creams
reduce the appearance of cellulite by temporarily
tightening and plumping the skin which make your skin
look smoother. Follow the directions for applying the
cream. Test the cream for an allergic reaction by
applying a small amount on a part of body (outer thigh)
before massaging it all over an entire area. It is
recommended that you wait at least 24 hours before
applying it to an entire area.
Creams will be more effective if applied after a warm
bath, shower or “workout” because the skin is moist.
Spend time massaging the cream into the affected areas;
this will help improve the circulation. To get better
results in the fight against stubborn cellulite
coupled a topical treatment(cream), exercise and
good nutrition.
