If you are struggling to reconcile dreams of a bikini body with the appearance of lumpy cellulite, do not fear. There are diy and professional treatments that can help.
What is Cellulite?
Firstly, it helps to understand what cellulite is. It sounds like a medical condition, but unfortunately, cellulite is literally just pockets of fat beneath the skin which push against connective tissue, causing the skin to appear bumpy and puckered. Even slim people can suffer from cellulite (as close up pics of super models have revealed!).
But while cellulite is of no medical concern, it is certainly unsightly and many people would like to get rid of it, especially before a holiday in the sun.
What Influences Cellulite?
Factors that influence how much cellulite you have and how visible it is include:
- Total body fat – being overweight makes cellulite more likely
- Being female – it is more common among women than men
- Genetic predisposition – if others in the family have cellulite, you are more likely to be prone
- Poor diet
- Fad dieting
- Slow metabolism
- Lack of physical activity
- Hormone changes
- Dehydration
- Thickness and color of your skin – cellulite tends to be more noticeable on light coloured skin
Cellulite Treatments
The first place to start in trying to improve cellulite is with the basics:
- healthy diet – not eating to excess, reducing fat and sugar, plenty of salad and fresh veg
- hydration – ensuring you do not dehydrate, so the body can work to optimum levels
- exercise – to reduce excess body fat and toning the areas
A review of nutrition and lifestyle can be very helpful in isolating opportunities for improvement.
Yet there are also professional treatments that can get rid of cellulite on thighs and buttocks.
