Cellulite - how do i get rid of it?!

I have heard and read body brushing and massage helps but I think it is genetic, and cant do anything unless you loose the fat under the skin. I have started body brushing daily, and using raw unrefined shea butter, jojoba oil and cocoa butter. The unrefined shea butter has more vitamins in it. It may be a waste of time, but I am loving how soft my skin is. I am gonna do pics just to see if there is any change after a few months.

I've tried 6 different creams and it never worked.
Sorry

I copied this article for your reading pleasure, and there is an additional link at the end of the page. Diet and exercise are important; however; genes, age, hormonal changes, and skin thickness are more important. We can control our diet and exercise habits, but not the other factors. Sorry ladies for the bad news.


"Cellulite is the lumpy substance commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and butt. You may have heard people say it looks like "cottage cheese." Cellulite is actually a fancy name for collections of fat that push against the connective tissue beneath a person's skin. This makes the surface of the skin pucker and look lumpy.

You can check to see if you have cellulite by pinching the skin around your upper thigh. If it looks a bit lumpy, you probably have it. If you do have cellulite, you're definitely not alone: Most girls and women — and some men — have cellulite.

Several things influence whether a person has cellulite and how much they have. Your genes, your gender, the amount of fat on your body, your age, and the thickness of your skin are all associated with the amount of cellulite you have or how visible it is.

It doesn't matter what causes cellulite, there aren't any miracle products, treatments, or medicines that can make it go away. Some "treatments" may temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. They won't last, though. For example, fancy salon treatments use deep massaging to puff up the skin. That can make cellulite look a little better for a while.

Liposuction (surgery to remove fat) and mesotherapy (injection of drugs into cellulite) are expensive. But they're not very effective. For example, liposuction is designed to remove deep fat. But cellulite is close to the skin.

Even top models can have cellulite, but if you have it, you probably don't like it. Almost everyone wishes that something about their body was a bit different. This is particularly true during our teens when our bodies go through all sorts of changes caused by puberty.

If you decide that you want to try to reduce the amount of cellulite you have, the best thing to do is to decrease excess body fat. If you think that you are overweight (and your doctor agrees), eat fewer calories and exercise more.

An exercise routine that combines aerobic exercise with strength training is the best weapon against cellulite. In the meantime, if you want to conceal your cellulite, try using a self-tanning product. Cellulite tends to be a little bit less noticeable on darker skin.
