How do I Get Rid of Celullite?

When fat cells become enlarged and your skin's support structure, collagen, is weakened, the fat cells push against the weak collagen causing your skin to dimple and pucker. This appearance is known as cellulite and although there are many expensive treatments that promise results, there are smarter, natural ways to rid your body of cellulite.

  1. Exercise

    • To help rid yourself of the appearance of cellulite, engage in workout routines that target the area of your body where cellulite has appeared. Incorporating cardio routines, especially those that work your lower body (where cellulite often occurs) will help you shed those cottage cheese areas quicker.

    Eat Right

    • What you eat can play a major role in fighting the breakdown of collagen. Look for foods high in vitamin C, as vitamin C helps strengthen collagen and prevent lumpy, bumpy, fatty looking skin. Avoid refined grains and sugars because they cause your body to store fat and plump up fat cells.

    Hydrate

    • Drinking plenty of fluids makes your skin more subtle. Fluid help plump your skin later to cover the lumpy fat cells beneath. Well hydrated bodies are smoother and healthier.
