We Women Would Love to See a Cure for Cellulite!

If there is anything that women across the world agree on, it is that they cannot stand having cellulite.  Cellulite is that ugly, dimple-like appearance on the upper legs and thights.  Sometimes, women get it on their stomach and on their arms.  It looks sort of like an orange peel or cottage cheese.  There are loads of theories about what causes cellulite. Some speculate that metabolism, hormones and/or genetics produce cellulite.  Others blame it on poor eating habits and inactivity.    In the end, no one can say with absolute certainty what causes cellulite. 

Many women do not care what causes cellulite — they just want to get rid of it.

In a perfect world, there’d be a magical lotion or anti-cellulite pill that POOF!  Once taken, would get rid of cellulite forever.

Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect universe.

From the do-it-yourself remedies such as using lemon juice and coffee grounds, to formulas like Revitol produced by researchers and doctors, there are a number of supposed cures for cellulite on hand.  A cure is best found when the therapy includes the entire body and not just one aspect.  For example, favorable health habits involve the entire body.  This includes drinking a lot of water, and cutting coffee and alcohol consumption.  The whole body method also includes eating healthy, and substituting junk foods and greasy foods with fresh vegetables and fruits.  Exercise is also a piece of the whole body treatment.

Beyond that, specific cures for cellulite include topical remedies, such as creams, gels and lotions.  The manufacturer might say that these are “cures for cellulite,” but the jury is out on that one.  These products can help lower the manifestation of cellulite, but they might not get rid of it entirely. 

Anti-cellulite gels, creams and lotions regularly include a mix of natural and formulated ingredients, maltodextrine, and caffeine.  These cures for cellulite can be purchased at any drugstore and are occasionally cheaper online.  The cost range is commonly about twenty dollars to seventy dollars per bottle.  The really good ones, like Revitol, come with a guarantee.

If you are using a gel, lotion or cream, you possibly will not experience a complete cure for cellulite unless you also add exercise and a good diet to your treatment.  One thing you might want to do is to get in the habit of stretching and exercising everyday, then rubbing on a good anti-cellulite cream after your bath or shower.

Massagers and body wraps are an additional “cure for cellulite” some women say have merit.  Theses treatments focus on stimulating the blood circulation in the affected area and eliminating toxic buildup.  There are do-it-at-home massagers and body wrap kits.  It is not too hard to give yourself a cellulite reduction massage.  Spas and professional therapists also offer these services.

Regardless of whether the anti-cellulite campaign involves home remedies or over the counter cures for cellulite, there are a few things to remember.First, you need to be patient.  Rubbing a cream on the affected area will not magically make the cellulite disappear immediately.  Second, realize that you will need to make some lifestyle changes in conjunction with the cellulite remedy.  This means healthy eating and exercise.
