How to Remove Cellulite Naturally

By Sara B Giddins

No matter if you are a supermodel or celebrity, the fact is everyone will get cellulite at some point during their life time. This is because women have a higher level of fat in their bodies than men. Even supermodel Tyra Banks has confessed to having her photos airbrushed to cover up her cellulite.

Unlike supermodels, most women are not looking to strut around in front of a camera. All they want is a decent cellulite treatment that will do its job at minimizing the condition as much as possible. They want to be able to wear a swimsuit at the beach without feeling embarrassed by their thighs or buttocks.

Despite their desire to look great, most women don't want to undertake the risk of surgery or have to pay the cost. Neither do they want to put artificial products on their bodies and skin. This is why natural cellulite treatments are very popular in today's market.

If you are looking for a natural cellulite treatment then there are several steps you can take. The first is to start exercising more. While it is true that even female athletes have cellulite, this is what is called invisible cellulite. This type can only be seen when you pinch the skin and not when you are standing up. The athletes toned muscles ensure that the condition is kept under control like this.

The second component of a natural cellulite program is to stay hydrated. This means you need to keep drinking plenty of water. The extra water will help your skin to stay smooth and strong, and will reduce the appearance of the dimples.

By adding plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and wholegrain to your diet you will reduce the level of fat that exists under the skin. It is this fat that causes the dimpled appearance of cellulite.

Exercise and diet are important factors in cellulite reduction. You will also need a treatment that targets the cellulite directly. The most popular method is to massage a cellulite cream in to the dimpled skin on a daily basis.

A good cellulite cream will have ingredients made from natural plants. Such ingredients include brown algae, green tea, caffeine and vitamin A. These ingredients will help your body burn more fat, strengthen the collagen in the skin, reduce fluid retention and detox your body.

The massaging of the cream into the skin and fat will soften the cellulite and make it smoother. The skin will become softer and more resistant to dimpling which is the main characteristic of the condition. - 16004
