5 Cellulite Myths Busted
As if women don’t have enough out there working against them, the fact that men don’t have cellulite seems like just one more cruel blow. But that’s a cellulite myth. Men can have cellulite. It’s...
The Shadow Tells the Truth About Woman’s “Disappearing” Cellulite
We hate to always be debunking sensational cellulite headlines, but when we saw one about cellulite ‘virtually’ disappearing after a woman drank more water and less wine for 9 months, we couldn’t help ourselves.
Before we get into the headline busting, this one does have some good news for you. Anytime you can drink water instead of wine, you’ll be doing your skin, and your cellulite a huge favour. Like all alcoholic beverages, wine is a diuretic. In simpler terms that means it makes you pee.
Enough wine, and its diuretic effect, and you’ll lose so much moisture from your system through your urine, it can start drying out your skin. When that happens it can make your cellulite look worse.
But back to our headline busting, our target this time is:
Drinking more water and less wine is good for you and the appearance of your cellulite, but it isn’t this good.
The Shadow Knows the Truth About Her Cellulite
And the truth is the person in the picture could probably have shown a similar ‘reduction’ in her cellulite in just a few hours, much less 9 months.
Look at the shadow of the person in both images and you’ll see why.
The woman’s shadow in the ‘before’ picture is relatively small and not elongated. That tells us the sun was more directly overhead for that shot. When the direction of the sunshine (almost vertical) strikes an object that is in the same direction (the woman’s vertical body), it will strike one side of every little imperfection, but not the other. When it does, the sunlight side is bright, and the other side is a shadow. It’s an effect that can exaggerate both bumps and dimples and make cellulite look much worse.
In the ‘after’ image, the woman’s shadow is elongated (check where it comes off her right foot), which means that the sun was not directly overhead. So the direction of the sunlight is more perpendicular to the woman's body. From this direction, the sunlight strikes both sides of a bump or dimple evenly. No shadows are produced and the cellulite looks much better.

I am a critical care nurse and these leggings are saving my legs. I am no longer feeling leg fatigue at the end of my shift which has alleviated my knee pain. In addition my legs look smoother. My husband noticed the back of my thighs appeared less dimpled and he was a skeptic. I am ordering a second pair and I am going to try the bra this time too.

I have been wearing my mass and slim leggings for less than a week. I have already noticed tightening and toning in my legs, butt and stomach. I`m also seeing a reduction in cellulite and smoothing of my skin. Very impressed for the first week! I never submit reviews but if you are looking for something to help get u in shape and to look toned, these leggings are the bomb! Worth every dime I paid. I will post back in thirty days with an update but so far I`m extremely thrilled with these leggings! Great results!
