Happy March 1st! The month of March beginning means one thing for me, I start my ant-cellulite routine. With summer creeping up that means before we know it we will all be living in shorts and bathing suits. By doing this tried and true routine daily I am know I am going to be able to put my best butt and legs forward starting in May and there will be no reason to dread wearing those summer clothes I love.
Today I wanted to share with you what I do and what I have found to be the best ways to combat cellulite. I can tell you I have been doing exactly all of this written below for a few weeks now and I already notice a BIG difference. There is nothing we can do to totally get rid of cellulite, everyone has it! But by doing this you can diminish it to as little as possible and make it much less noticeable. Here is how to get rid of cellulite.
How To Get Rid Of Cellulite
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is basically pockets of fat under the skin that create a dimpled appearance. It doesn’t matter your weight or even your age. It is something I ALL of us have. Now even though you can’t completely get rid of it, you can do a lot to help to lessen the appearance of it.
Topical Treatments
These are the products that I have been using twice a day everyday. I first use a body oil all over my body. I honestly just love them as a moisturizer this time of year and I feel that they help tighten and firm the skin. Then I apply the Clarins Body Fit on my butt and my legs, just down to the knee. Lastly I take this body brush and I massage it all in for a good minute or two. I feel like this last part is the key because it really helps move the fatty tissue and stimulates the area and increases blood flow. This also reduces excess fluid, and in return minimizes the appearance of cellulite.
Exercise
There are certain exercises that you can do to help firm and target the area. When the connective fibers underneath the skin are strong, cellulite is much less noticeable. Also just regular exercise and burning away excess fat overall helps too of course. I love the band I am using below because it provides such great resistance and doesn’t move. You can definitely do this with no band at all too. Here are a few exercises that I have been doing daily
Hydrate and Eat Well
You may think that it’s a no brainer but a lot of us don’t realize that being dehydrated and eating a bad diet makes cellulite look much worse. One of the best things that we can do is to drink tons of water. I always try to drink almost a gallon a day. I drink from this huge cup every day which helps me meet that goal. Water helps remove toxins that can lead to fat accumulation and it encourages circulation and lymphatic flow. Eating a clean diet that is free from processed foods and a lot of sodium helps minimize cellulite as well. I personally opt to snack on fruits like melon that have a high water content too.
Tanning
Having tan skin hides the appearance of cellulite so I apply self tanner once a week. You can check out my entire self tanning routine here.
Again don’t be ashamed by your cellulite! Every woman has it. I am about looking and feeling my best and this routine helps me a ton and I hope it helps you too!
