Is there a simple way to eliminate the appearance of dimpled, lumpy skin, known as cellulite? This fatty tissue is the bane of many women, even though it is entirely normal. Around 80% of all women have this type of fat somewhere.

Cellulite is the bumpy fat that lies directly underneath the skin. It generally appears on the stomach, hips, thighs, and backside. As we gain weight, this uneven-looking fat increases, causing dimples instead of the smoother look of toned muscles.

If cellulite is bothering you, there may be no quick fixes, but you can get into a skincare routine that will significantly diminish the look and feel of it. Taking care of your skin will also make you feel better, and as your confidence increases, hopefully, this won’t bother you so much.

1. Essential Oils To Treat Cellulite.

Essential oils have many uses, but a few show great promise for helping break down bumpy, fatty tissue. They have many benefits as an obesity treatment.

By combining them into a custom oil blend and massaging your problem areas, you should start to see a smoother appearance with regular use.

Anti-Cellulite Oil Blend.

• 1/4 cup of Coconut oil
• Ten drops of Oregano oil
• Ten drops of Grapefruit essential oil
• 4-5 drops of Sweet orange essential oil

Instructions;

• Combine the coconut oil with the essential oils.
• Massage this oil blend onto the problem areas of the skin.
• Apply morning and night.

Research shows that Grapefruit essential oil, which contains anti-inflammatory enzymes like bromelain, helps to break down dimpled tissue and stops the increase in new fat cells (adipogenesis).

Sweet Orange and Oregano oil are also cited as essential oils that positively affect fat breakdown.

You can also buy essential oil blends that target cellulite.

2. How To Use White Tea To Treat Cellulite.

Studies on white tea show that it inhibits adipogenesis, which decreases the formation of new fat cells.

As this post shows, tea has many incredible benefits for skincare, and if you want to combat cellulite, try adding white tea to your daily rituals.

Swap out your usual tea or coffee with a refreshing white tea. My favorite white tea is sweet and has hints of peach, delicious hot or cold!

Add white tea bags to your bath to get the topical benefits; White Tea has beneficial anti-inflammatory properties and the same amount of antioxidants as Green Tea. It also contains caffeine, a well-known substance for skin care.

You can also add white tea to your body scrubs. Look for white tea extract in natural beauty formulations, or add white tea essential oil to your massage blends.

3. Dry Brushing Benefits For Cellulite.

Dry brushing uses a firm, dry brush on dry skin, a well-known skin care technique that originated in India over 5000 years ago. Ayurvedic practices incorporate dry brushing, as did many other ancient cultures. So, what can dry brushing do for your cellulite?

One of the main reasons to incorporate this practice is to increase circulation, help release toxins, and promote lymphatic drainage. Dry brushing also exfoliates, sweeping away dead skin cells and creating a smoother appearance to the skin.

Many people find dry brushing therapeutic and relaxing, and if it helps improve the look and feel of the skin, it is worth adding to your skincare routine!

• Choose your dry brush; there are many different types, so get one that resonates with you. Many dry brushes use animal bristles, so go for vegan brushes if that concerns you.

• The best time to dry the brush is just before you shower; you can wash away the dirt, debris, and dead skin cells and feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

• Use a firm but light pressure, beginning at the ankles.

• Brush in a long, sweeping, circular movement toward your heart; this supports your natural circulation and lymphatic drainage patterns.

4. Anti-Cellulite Coffee Scrubs.

If you are looking for anti-cellulite treatments, it won’t be long before you stumble across the use of caffeine for this skin condition. Research shows caffeine is an effective ingredient for reducing cellulite because it helps dilate blood vessels and tones and firm the appearance of the skin.

Caffeine is in many beauty products; this post details its many benefits for skincare.

To use caffeine for cellulite, try making a coffee scrub; this is one of the most popular cellulite treatments, and they are easy to make or buy. If you drink fresh coffee daily, you have a great ingredient to reuse; try this DIY coffee scrub recipe while in the shower to help tone and tighten the appearance of dimple skin.

If you are not interested in DIY, there are many excellent natural coffee scrubs to buy.

5. Cayenne Pepper ACV Drink For Cellulite Reduction.

Apple cider vinegar is a great ingredient to add to your anti-cellulite routine. While it is not a magic pill taken daily, it can boost the metabolism, suppress the appetite, and positively affect insulin resistance, which can help the body deal with fatty deposits.

Apple cider vinegar contains beneficial nutrients and minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, helping detoxify the body and decreasing water retention, improving puffiness and bloating, and improving the look of the skin.

If you don’t like gulping down a shot of apple cider vinegar, you can use it in salad dressings, take apple cider vinegar pills, or try this boosting recipe.

Ingredients;

• One 8oz glass of warm water
• Two teaspoons of cayenne pepper
• One teaspoon of fresh ginger
• One teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

Take daily first thing in the morning.

You can also buy apple cider vinegar shots to take on the go.

6. The Best Massage Therapy For Cellulite.

Massaging the areas most affected by cellulite can help to even out fatty deposits and tone the look and feel of the problem area. Massage tools can help you penetrate further into the muscle tissue, which is effective for lymph drainage and increased circulation.

 Massages are relaxing and have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, which can improve one’s appearance and well-being.

There are various body sculpting tools to choose from; if you are a fan of the benefits of Gua Sha for the face, start with a similar Gua Sha tool for the body.

Light therapy designed to help with cellulite can help regenerate collagen in the body. Many people swear by this type of therapy, and you can find multi-purpose tools.

Body sculpting tools help dig into the muscles and sculpt and tone your silhouette; you can also use your hands, but make sure you use a natural oil blend to help the implements glide over the skin with targeted ingredients that enhance the skin’s well-being.

7. The Benefits Of Taking Collagen To Reduce Cellulite.

Taking collagen peptides effectively reduces cellulite by strengthening the skin’s structure.

Aging, a poor diet, and lack of sleep and exercise all have detrimental effects on the body, causing it to weaken and deteriorate. Adding collagen to your diet will boost the integrity of the skin, causing it to be thicker, more elastic, and firmer, with less likelihood of the fatty deposits pushing through and causing that dimpled, lumpy appearance.

Research studies show that taking a collagen supplement for six months improves cellulite and the skin’s overall health.

Experiment with collagen that suits you; if you don’t like it, you won’t take it; if you are on a plant-based diet, you can still find collagen products that will help you.

Make sure you get enough collagen-promoting foods in your daily diet; this can seem more difficult if you are plant-based; check out this post on the best plant foods to eat for increased collagen.

8. The Benefits Of Omega-3 Fatty Acids To Reduce Cellulite.

Anti-inflammatory omega-3s are vital for our diet and can help reduce the look of cellulite. One of the best ways to supplement this nutrient is through fish oils. Take pure fish oil and look at the origin of the oil to get the most beneficial one.

Oily fish or fish oils affect lipolysis, the release of fat from cells, which helps reduce cellulite.

Eating a healthy whole-food diet rich in vegetables and oily fish should ensure you get enough omega 3’s, especially if you add chia seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts. If your diet falls short, consider taking supplements.

If you are vegan or plant-based, find the appropriate vegan omega-three supplements.

9. A Whole Food Healthy Diet And Exercise To Reduce Cellulite.

The cornerstone to a healthy, toned body is diet and exercise; cellulite is just fat, so how you eat and move is crucial to reduce it. Concentrate on a whole food natural diet that is anti-inflammatory, with minimally processed ingredients. Without this, all the other tips will be less effective.

Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and keep the skin hydrated.

Think muscle, not fat. Focusing and obsessing over excess body fat can be easy, but exercise is vital. Muscle shreds fat; it revamps the metabolism, gives you energy, sweats out toxins, and builds a stronger and more defined shape. Exercise will decrease fat and, therefore, cellulite on the body, giving a smoother, more defined shape.

Easier said than done; to stick to an exercise routine, find one you love. The routine that works is the one you will stick to strength training, swimming, running, or gardening. Get out there and get active, and you’ll be on your way to looking and, more importantly, feeling better!
