There aren't many beauty topics as shrouded in myth and scientific psycho-babble than the dreaded cellulite. Over 90% of women suffer at least somewhat from cellulite. You've probably tried a "miracle cure" yourself once or twice, only to find your problem go on unscathed.
Don't give up! Cellulite can be reduced. The sooner you begin to chip away at it, the greater your odds at getting rid of cellulite for good. It will take dedication, but if you're reading this article, surely that wont put you off.
You could get rid of cellulite simply by dieting if it were made of just fat. Sadly, cellulite is the result of many problems that need to be tackled altogether. It's not a cosmetic condition, it's linked to both your physical and your emotional health. Like diabetes it isn't curable, but it is able to be treated through lifestyle changes.
That means you need to supply your body with nutrients that it needs to keep fat cells from swelling and to keep your skin cells in peak condition. Skin potions as well as nutrition and exercise are an essential part of doing just that. If you follow these steps exactly, results should be visible within 8 weeks, and will consistently improve with the longer you keep up this new routine.
First is your diet. The key to cellular health is hydration. Fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, nuts, fatty fish and wholegrain breads contain the essential fatty acids, B vitamins, lecithin, and antioxidants that help fortify and rebuild your cells, so try to eat as many of these foods as possible throughout the day. Use them to supplement processed foods such as fried foods, margarine, booze, cakes and ready meals, because all of those things break down cells.
Take daily supplements if you're really serious about blasting away the cellulite. Glucosamine is an essential cellulite killer that isn't found in many foods. A soy lecithin capsule, a mineral supplement, and a multivitamin should be all it takes to top that off.
Commit to exercise at least once each day. Poor and slow circulation as well as swelling fat cells are a cellulite's best friends. Anything you do outside of your regular routine that makes you sweat will get your blood pumping and help you burn calories. Lifting weights will create lean muscle mass which burns fat faster than anything else.
Creams containing anti-oxidants, peptides, and other circulation-boosting ingredients makes sense if you're trying to rid yourself of the sluggish cellulite look.
Finally, pamper yourself! Cellulite is largely caused not by being overweight, but by stress. Your body chemistry is impaired by tension. It hurts the skin's self-healing powers. Soothe your body and mind by taking some time out of your day to just relax. Five minutes of dry body brushing a day with a natural bristle brush with long strokes towards the heart is a favorite suggestion of experts.
It stimulates the lymphatic system and removes unnecessary fluids and toxins from your body. Epson salts and marine extracts can boost circulation and draw out toxins if you bathe in them regularly.
