Cellulite. Is there remedies? What is the cause? And most importantly, how do I get rid of it ASAP! 

80 – 90% of women think of cellulite as a major beauty issue! Luckily, there are a few ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite and they are super quick & easy!

As women age, we lose roughly 2kg of muscle per decade (I know, depressing right!). As these muscles get smaller, an increasing layer of fat is building up under the skin which causes the wobbly & loose skin. There is an upside coming, I promise!

To combat these common signs of cellulite, there are several home remedies we can adopt to revitalise our skin.

If we don’t use it, we lose it!

A healthy diet and frequent exercise seems to be the answer to most problems, but the research doesn’t lie!

20 mins of aerobic exercise combined with strength training two to three times per week and paired with a healthy diet will keep your body & your soul happy. Aerobic exercise will blast that extra fat while the strength training is going to build amazingly strong muscles!

A healthy, balanced diet full of diverse sources of protein, fat and carbs will keep you feeling strong and toned.

Dry Brushing

Daily exfoliation can help to smooth the appearance of cellulite as it increases the blood flow to different parts of the body. This surge of blood flow will help to reduce inflammation and create the appearance of smoother looking skin.

Begin at the feet and work your way upwards brushing in the direction of your heart in firm strokes. Dry brushing first thing in the morning before your shower will awaken your skin and help to give the skin a morning boost.

Apply a hydrating body cream to the skin after a shower. This retains hydration and keeps the skin looking firm and plump.

Check out the Evolve 360 Smoothing Body Contour, this cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid, natural AHAs and their cult classic 360 complex which locks in an effective anti-age formula with a nourishing finish.

Caffeine

Caffeine helps to naturally stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to break down the fat and this can keep the fat tissue from clumping under the skin. Coffee scrubs are a super 2 in 1 product, the ground coffee helps to exfoliate the dead skin cells off the surface of the skin while the caffeine will treat the skin from within.

Massage Cupping

A super easy and effective daily treatment for your cellulite is the Anti Cellulite Massage Cup, this silicone cup helps to drain & detoxify the skin while promoting blood circulation to fight against water retention and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

We love to use this massage cup paired with the Botanical Body Oil from byMukk. This intensely nourishing body oil is formulated with sesame oil & rosehip to help regenerate and firm the skin.

Self Love Club

So much of our daily routines are typically filled with us trying to “fix” a problem such as: fine lines, wrinkles, cellulite, acne and even anti age prevention. I think there is absolutely no harm in trying to counteract these things however we need to shift our focus onto loving our bodies and thanking them for what they have done for us so far.

Our skin at 50 isn’t going to look the same as what it did when we were 21 but guess what, that’s ok! By the time you reach 50, you’ve experienced so much of life and you should be proud of that!

Unfortunately there is no definitive, exact cause of cellulite however there are many ways in which we now know how to reduce its appearance. The steps listed in this blog post are easy, effortless and great for your overall health! Which one caught your eye the most?
