Make your showers as cold as you can stand
Cold showers work wondrously to tone your muscles, improve your metabolism, and burn fat. Passing a stream of cold water across areas of your body that aren’t toned will help ‘wake up’ those areas and, in time, reduce the appearance of saggy, cellulite-ridden skin.

The right massage for the right cellulite
As mentioned, there are many different types of cellulite. It will be necessary to adopt the correct massage techniques to dislodge and deconstruct the fat cells under your skin. For soft cellulite, a pushing pressure will help. For solid cellulite, employ a rubbing and ‘rolling’ motion. Finally, for edematous cellulite, pressing and kneading are the key techniques.

Get sporty
You can’t ignore physical activity if you want to make your cellulite disappear! You've probably heard about squats... it's time to get started! No need for much time, 10 minutes of squats a day is enough. You will see the results over the long term. Other fun exercises include water sports, especially underwater aerobics and aquabiking! Finally, ban elevators and escalators in favor of the stairs.

Drink plenty of water
It is no longer a secret for anyone - drinking plenty of water is paramount to your health and your lifestyle! The more you drink water, the more your body will eliminate waste and toxins stored by your body.

Choose your clothes wisely
We are all fans of skinny jeans - they give us flattering silhouettes, of course. But pay attention here: the tighter the garment, the less oxygen is being circulated through your blood. Say hello to the appearance of cellulite. A simple solution? Do not wear the same type of jeans every day and avoid tight clothing.

Make your showers as cold as you can stand

Every woman’s worst enemy can be tamed with the right attitude. Here’s how to stop your cellulite from getting out of hand.

Cellulite can come in several forms: soft cellulite (often in areas with a build up of fat), hard cellulite (also known as solid cellulite), and edematous cellulite (resulting from poor circulation and fluid retention). While we humans haven’t discovered the best way to fully rid our bodies of cellulite permanently, there are things you can do to reduce its appearance and prevent it from getting worse. Discover 5 simple ways to keep the cellulite at bay in our gallery above.
