Many sources will tell you that it is impossible to get rid of cellulite without surgery. Other sources tell you that cellulite is genetic, and there isn't much you can do about it. Still others claim that certain creams or supplements will reverse cellulite formation, and still others say that although you can prevent cellulite to a certain extent, there is no way to get rid of it.
With all this information floating around about cellulite, what on earth can you actually do about it? What is the truth about reducing cellulite?
Cellulite happens when the elastic connections in the skin begin to weaken. When this happens, the layer of fat under the skin is no longer kept smooth, and can form lumps and bumps. Since everyone has layer of fat under the skin, even very slim people can be prone to cellulite. Many things can make cellulite worse. Anything that leads to toxin buildup or poor circulation will add to cellulite, so poor diet, smoking, low exercise, and diseases like diabetes can all contribute. Rapid weight gain or loss, as well as yo-yo dieting, can make cellulite worse, as well.
So obviously, the answer to preventing and reversing cellulite lies in promoting circulation and health throughout all of the body's tissues. Refraining from smoking, drinking plenty of water, getting regular exercise, and avoiding rapid weight loss or gain can all help with cellulite. Regular firm massage can help rid the skin of toxins and increase blood flow to the affected areas. Supplements that increase circulation, such as ginger, garlic, and ginkgo, can all help improve cellulite or prevent it from getting worse.
