If you have cellulite and want to get rid of it, you are not alone. Many women of all ages have cellulite on their thighs, buttocks, or abdomen. Cellulite occurs when fat cells invade the outer layer of the skin, creating dimples and an uneven appearance. Find out how to significantly reduce cellulite through lifestyle changes, beauty products and special treatments.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Changing Your Diet

1. 1 Drink plenty of water. Hydration of the body keeps skin cells fresh, which reduces cellulite. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your body hydrated.
   • Start drinking a glass of water every morning, before your first cup of coffee or tea.
   • Carry a bottle of water with you throughout the day. Do not forget to replenish it more often.

   Keep in mind that you may not be able to get rid of cellulite completely. “The appearance of cellulite is associated with the connective tissue and irregularities that usually occur with age, as well as hormones, water and a number of other factors. There is no magic way to heal - that's why even very thin people can have cellulite. "

2. 2 Eat fruits and vegetables. A diet high in fruits and vegetables can help prevent weight gain and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Fruits and vegetables are also high in water, so they help maintain the body's water balance.
   • Have a spinach smoothie for breakfast. Combine a glass of almond milk, a glass of spinach, half a banana and a kiwi, or a handful of strawberries. This healthy breakfast will keep your energy high and is a great way to eat vegetables for breakfast.
   • Eat more raw vegetables. Raw green lettuce, broccoli, carrots, and other vegetables are high in nutrients, antioxidants, and water. If they form the basis of your diet, you will quickly notice the difference in the amount of cellulite.
3. 3 Eat healthy fats. Cellulite is caused by subcutaneous fat, but if your skin is firm and healthy, cellulite will not be as noticeable. Foods such as olives, nuts, avocados, fish, and olive oil contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin.
   • Eat omega-3 fatty acids. Since we constantly eat fatty foods, or at least foods that contain a variety of fats, to get rid of cellulite it is necessary to choose the "right" fats and avoid unhealthy ones. Free-range livestock, omega-3-fortified dairy products, green soybeans, wild rice, rapeseed oil and walnuts are just a few of the many foods rich in healthy fatty acids, and eating enough to help you get rid of cellulite.
4. 4 Avoid foods that cause cellulite. Foods that promote weight gain and retain water in the body increase the amount of cellulite. To prevent cellulite from getting bigger, avoid the following foods:
   • fried foods such as fries, fried chicken, and onion rings.
   • ready-made snacks, such as corn and potato chips, cheese rings, crackers;
   • Foods that are high in salt, such as sauces and canned soups, as they retain water
   • Foods that are high in sugar, such as candy, baked goods and sugary sodas, as they lead to weight gain
   • alcohol, especially when mixed with something sweet, such as soda or cranberry juice, as it retains water and leads to weight gain.

Method 2 of 4: New training regimen

1. 1 Include strength training in your class. Strength training, unlike cardio, tones the muscles under the skin, which therefore looks more toned. It can significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite.
   • Buy dumbbells or weights and do exercises to strengthen your hips, glutes, and abs. If you have cellulite on your hands, do exercises for your hands as well.
   • Join a gym and work with an instructor to lift more weights over time. Contrary to popular belief, lifting heavier weights fewer times is more effective at building muscle than many low-weight reps.
2. 2 Do high-intensity exercise. Combining strength training with exercise that forces your heart to pump more blood will build lean muscle mass, which will make your thighs and glutes look smoother in the long run. Try the following exercises after a light warm-up:
   • Sprint outdoors. Measure 400 meters on your street or in a nearby park. Run that distance quickly, rest for 20 seconds, and then quickly run back again. Do this 4 times in total. Increase the number of times over time.
   • Sprint on a treadmill. If you exercise indoors, put the treadmill in fast mode for 3 minutes. Increase your speed over time.
   • Sprint your bike. Use a bike or exercise bike and ride uphill as fast as you can for a few minutes.

Method 3 of 4: A New Skin Care Regimen

1. 1 Start massaging your skin with a dry brush. It improves blood circulation and helps the skin to flush out toxins, reducing the appearance of cellulite. Buy a natural fiber body brush and make this massage part of your morning ritual.
   • Keep the skin and brush dry.
   • Start at your feet and work your way up towards your heart. Concentrate on areas with a lot of cellulite, such as the thighs and buttocks. Hands massage in the direction from the hands to the shoulders, the abdomen - in a circular motion in a clockwise direction. All brushing movements should be directed towards the heart to stimulate blood and lymph circulation.
   • After brushing, shower to rinse away dead skin cells and toxins that have been brought to the surface.
2. 2 Improve skin tone. Measures that make your skin healthy and firm will not get rid of cellulite, but will temporarily reduce its appearance. Try the following:
   • Bathe in warm or cool, not hot, water. Cool water tightens the skin and makes it firmer.
   • Moisturize your skin with a caffeine-formulated product. Buy a cream or lotion with at least 5 percent caffeine, which is believed to tone your skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
   • Use other products designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite. For this, many creams and lotions have been created.
3. 3 Use a self-tanning spray. You can visually reduce the appearance of cellulite by making your skin tone more even. Choose a product just one or two shades darker than your skin. Apply it evenly to all legs, not just problem areas with cellulite.

Method 4 of 4: Professional Treatment

1. 1 Try injections. The essence of the procedure is that a solution of vitamins and minerals is injected under the skin to make it look smoother. The solution breaks down fat deposits just under the skin.
2. 2 Try any of the body shaping procedures. Lasers, massage rollers and radio frequency energy are used to break up fatty deposits. This type of treatment stimulates the production of collagen in the skin, which gives it a firmer appearance.
3. 3 Avoid liposuction and other fat removal surgeries. They can help you shed excess weight, but they can also actually increase the appearance of cellulite by making the tissues under your skin appear more uneven.

Tips

• The habit of sitting cross-legged interferes with proper blood circulation and can contribute to the appearance of cellulite.
• Using a coffee scrub twice a week can improve circulation, and regular exercise can reduce visible signs of cellulite. Foods rich in vitamin C, whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables help flush out toxins in the body.
• Taking regular action may not completely eliminate cellulite, but it can reduce the amount.

Warnings

• Many companies claim that their product will magically get rid of cellulite. In fact, you can never get rid of cellulite completely, so beware of questionable or expensive products.
