Knowing Whats Best

More than 90% of women are affected and even stars are not immune- its called cellulite and is described by answer.com as “A fatty deposit causing a dimpled or uneven appearance, as around the thighs and buttocks.” I think we all know what I am talking about.

There are creams, patches, specific workouts and even machines targeted to get rid of this beauty mark, but after spending hundreds of dollars, many women know – there does not seem to be a wonder-weapon.

But there are remedies to help you get rid of this problem, inexpensive and accessible these 10 tips will help you shine this coming bikini season

1. Exercise – working out on a regular basis concentrating on muscle toning exercises - which will help melt the fat and fill out the tissue in those troubled areas - is often the best way to get rid of those unwanted dimples

2. Massage – gently massaging you buttock and thighs will not only reinforce the benefits of exercise but also help you detoxify and aid in blood circulation

3. Diet- a healthy low-fat, high fiber diet containing plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables will help you detoxify and loose fat - aiding you in your quest to that perfectly, baby-smooth, cellulite-free, apple bottom

4. Shed those 5 extra pounds – If you do have some pounds extra, shedding them might give you just what you needed to get rid of the fat in the right places

5. Avoid constipation- it has been proven that people that are regularly constipated usually have cellulite, toxins are trapped and the body uses the skin to get rid of those toxins (learn more about how to avoid constipation)

6. Detoxify – we all need to detoxify on a regular basis to help our body get rid of everything we don’t need, if there is too much waste buildup- acne and cellulite usually develop (don’t know how? learn here more about how to detoxify)

7. Take alternating hot and cold showers - 30 seconds each, all together 5 cycles- improving your circulation

8. Aromatherapy- use essential oils or an aromatherapy blend and take a warm bath for 5-10 minutes (mix your own, click here for recipes)

9. Coffee grounds- caffeine is often the number 1 ingredient of many cellulite creams for a reason!- take warm coffee grounds and rub them on your problem areas even though you may not notice, a residue will remain working for you on these areas (follow with tip 10 and twice a week for best results)

10. Plastic wrap or seaweed– ideally used after the coffee ground treatment, wrapping seaweed or plastic wrap around your thighs and bottom (leave it on for a few minutes) will help you detoxify and intensify the results of your treatment

So don’t be afraid, jump for 30 seconds under that freezing shower, take the extra stairs when you can and grab an apple instead of a burger… you will thank me for the results later..;)
