It is understandable that most women want to rid their bodies of cellulite and although there isn’t a definitive cure for cellulite, there are ways you can help to reduce its appearance temporarily.
Technically, without targeting the way women’s skin connects to the muscles, cellulite will endure.
Focusing on improving your lifestyle is one of the best ways to care for your cellulite.
Ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite
Healthy eating
Your diet alone won’t influence your predisposition to cellulite but following a well-balanced diet, full of vegetables, good protein and grains, can help to maintain a healthy level of fat cells in your body and reduce inflammation.
Hydration
Staying hydrated by drinking a healthy amount of water and by consuming food with high contents of water, can help to keep your connective tissue strong and supple. Foods like cucumber, radishes, tomatoes, and celery are full of water and are great to incorporate into your diet where you can.
Exercise
A regular exercise routine won’t cure cellulite, however it can help to strengthen muscles and skin, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cycling, jogging and the step machine are your allies on the route to better-looking skin – exercise not only tightens the muscles, it also smooths your skin.
Skincare
Firming skincare products like NIVEA’s Firming Body Lotion Q10 Plus can help firm and even the tone of the skin.
CoEnzyme Q10 is a natural component of your skin, which actively works to keep it firm. However, levels of Q10 decrease with age. NIVEA’s 4 in 1 Firming Body Oil uses the CoEnzyme Q10 to tighten skin and even skin tone with its fast absorbing formula and reduces the appearance of strechmarks.
Your action plan against cellulite
Massages improve the circulation and stimulate the lymph flow. Massage the skin of your bum and legs with an exfoliating glove or a cellulite brush.
Beware of varicose veins: before treating them you should speak with your GP.
Taking an alkaline bath approximately once a week purifies and detoxifies the whole body. Add about four tablespoons of alkaline salt to your bathwater and take the time to enjoy the healing effect of the bath.
Our skin is a reflection of our body. If we are healthy, it radiates from within. If you eat plenty of vitamins and a balanced diet – it is noticeable! Combat cellulite from within by eating foods that are low in salt. Salt absorbs water in the body, which results in bloated tissue. So, season your food with aromatic herbs instead.
Vegetables rich in potassium such as broccoli, legumes and spinach also ensure that excess tissue fluid is flushed out.
Shower alternately with cold and warm water. When you use cold water the vessels contract and then they expand in warm water. This promotes the circulation of blood and the tissue becomes firmer.
