Considering that cellulite isn’t a bad thing; it's not a sign of anything wrong with you and just about everyone has it (over 85% of adult women have it), there are still lots of people who want to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Actually, they would love to get rid of cellulite, and it’s the orange-peel effect on their skin. But, despite what you might read on the web, there’s no way to eliminate cellulite.

Cellulite is produced by the layer of fat that lies just below everyone’s skin. When that layer pushes against your skin, dimples will appear on your skin’s surface where fibrous bands of connective tissue attach to the underside of your skin.

How to Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite

What works for one person, may not work for another. Or you might prefer one technique over another. In any case, try one or more of the following tips to help improve the appearance of your cellulite.

1. Lose Weight
   Easy, eh? But, considering that cellulite is the product of fatty tissue, one of the best ways to treat cellulite is to healthily lose weight. Weight loss will reduce the fat cells beneath your skin and make the cellulite dimples smaller.
   
   
2. Exercise
   In addition to helping you lose weight, exercise can also help build muscle and tone your skin. We’re not talking about bulking up, but more muscle underneath your skin can mean less fat. And stronger skin won’t show the dimpling as much.
   
   
3. Bioactive Collagen Peptides - If you’ve never heard of collagen peptides, the name can be a little intimidating. But collagen is the most common protein in your body. It helps to strengthen skin and improve its elasticity.  That strength and flexibility can help minimize the appearance of cellulite.
   
   
4. Massage Therapy - You’ve been looking for another excuse to get a massage, right! One of the benefits of massage is to stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage under your skin. Blood brings healthy oxygen to your skin and lymph fluid removes bacteria, waste materials and fat cells. The combination is like a one-two punch to help tone your skin.
   
   
5. Drink More Water
   Your skin loves water. It gets weaker and more dimpled when it doesn’t get enough water. Even worse, fat cells retain water, which, in combination with dehydration, can make your cellulite look worse than ever. So stay hydrated and help your skin look better.

It can take some time for your cellulite to show signs of improvement. You can start treating it today and enjoy a more flattering shape, with anti-cellulite shapewear, like Mass & Slim anti-cellulite leggings. They are clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
