How To Improve The Appearance Of Cellulite

cellulite
How much are you willing to pay to get rid of your pesky cellulite? If you’re fighting to accept a less than smooth-looking abdomen or buttocks and it’s gotta be done on a budget, then you might appreciate what these anti-cellulite treatments could potentially do for you.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is also referred to as cottage cheese skin and is caused by the dimpled appearance of fat deposits that are located just below the surface of our skin. This skin condition causes lumpy, dimpled flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen and is most prevalent in women.

There isn’t much known on the exact cause of cellulite. What is known, however, is that when fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the long, tough cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling.

Additionally, hormonal factors and genetics determine skin structure, skin texture and body type. Weight and muscle tone may also play a role in whether or not you develop cellulite. Weight gain makes cellulite more noticeable. However, people that are considered fit can also develop it.

As we age, cellulite becomes more common because the skin begins to lose elasticity. An inactive lifestyle can also increase your chances of having cellulite, as well as pregnancy.

What are the symptoms?

Cellulite may be visible at all times or only when you pinch your skin. There are four grades of cellulite:

  • Grade 0: There isn’t any cellulite on your body.
  • Grade 1: Your skin is smooth when you stand up, but mild dimpling appears when you sit down.
  • Grade 2: Your skin has moderate dimples when you stand up or when you sit down.
  • Grade 3: Your skin has severe dimples when you stand up or sit down. Your skin also features deep peaks and valleys (raised and depressed areas).

How to improve the appearance of cellulite

There’s no predicting who’ll get it if ever, but we at least know why it appears and there are many ways to fix it. So how do you get rid of cellulite? Here are some tips to try:

1. Use caffeine creams to minimize cellulite

Creams and lotions will not get rid of your cellulite, however, products that contain caffeine can temporarily tighten and smooth your skin.

“Caffeine dehydrates fat cells, making them less visible,” says Hadley King, MD, a New York-based dermatologist who specializes in medical and cosmetic dermatology. “This needs to be applied daily, and the effect will be modest at best.”

Product Suggestion: BEAUTY BIO THE SCULPTOR WITH LIPOCARE™ CELLULITE SMOOTHING BODY CREAM

This cream comes packed with caffeine and green tea seed oil and is super easy to massage into your skin. After using this cream, you can expect your skin to feel softer and smoother.

2. Try QWO to minimize cellulite
