How to Get Rid of Cellulite

1. EAT MINDFULLY AND HEALTHILY

Your diet alone won’t influence your predisposition to cellulite but following a well-balanced diet can help to maintain a healthy level of fat cells in your body and reduce inflammation.

A healthy balanced diet contains:

1. Lots of fresh vegetables

2. Good protein

3. Whole grains

4. Unprocessed foods

5. Remember to avoid foods high in salt too. Salt absorbs water in the body, which results in bloated tissue. Try seasoning your meals with aromatic herbs instead.

2. HYDRATE

Staying hydrated by drinking a healthy amount of water can help to keep your connective tissue strong and supple, thus reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Foods full of water are also great to incorporate into your diet where you can, such as:

1. Cucumber

2. Radishes

3. Tomatoes

4. Celery

3. KEEP MOVING

A regular exercise routine won’t cure cellulite; however, it can help to strengthen your muscles and skin, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

4. NIVEA Q10 FIRMING LOTION

Follow an appropriate Skin Care routine:
Firming skin care products like NIVEA's Q10 plus Firming & Cellulite Serum can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite temporarily.

Our formula contains coenzyme Q10 – a natural component of your skin, which deteriorates over time but actively works to keep it firm.

NIVEA's 4 in 1 Firming Body Oil also uses coenzyme Q10 to tighten skin and even out your skin tone with its fast absorbing formula.

5. TREAT YOURSELF

Massages improve circulation and stimulate your lymph flow.

Massage the skin on your buttocks and legs with an exfoliating glove or a cellulite brush for smoother, firmer skin.

6. MIX UP YOUR SHOWER ROUTINE

Showering alternately with cold and warm water is one of the simplest yet effective methods in reducing the signs of cellulite.

Your blood vessels contact in cold water and expand again in warm water. The contrast between these two actions helps promote more efficient blood circulation to help firm your connective tissue.

• Massages improve the circulation and stimulate the lymph flow. Massage the skin of your bum and legs with an exfoliating glove or a cellulite brush.
• Beware of varicose veins: before treating them you should speak with your GP.
• Taking an alkaline bath approximately once a week purifies and detoxifies the whole body. Add about four tablespoons of alkaline salt to your bathwater and take the time to enjoy the healing effect of the bath.
• Our skin is a reflection of our body. If we are healthy, it radiates from within. If you eat plenty of vitamins and a balanced diet – it is noticeable! Combat cellulite from within by eating foods that are low in salt. Salt absorbs water in the body, which results in bloated tissue. So, season your food with aromatic herbs instead.
• Vegetables rich in potassium such as broccoli, legumes and spinach also ensure that excess tissue fluid is flushed out.
• Shower alternately with cold and warm water. When you use cold water the vessels contract and then they expand in warm water. This promotes the circulation of blood and the tissue becomes firmer.
