Tips for Getting Rid of Cellulite

by Ashley Staker on March 8, 2010

If you’ve ever wanted to get rid of cellulite you are not alone! I think every Western woman on the planet has had this thought cross her mind at least once in her lifetime, if not on a far more regular basis.

Cellulite–also lovingly called “cottage cheese”–is fat cells that have bulged through cell walls into the skin’s middle layer, where they pull on connective tissue to create an unattractive, dimpled skin surface.

To repair cellulite, you need to strengthen and hydrate your body’s cells and the connective tissue in your body.

Here’s what will help:

1. Nourish your body with an abundance of real, whole, organic foods from the earth. This means eating lots of fruits, greens and seaweed (think sushi.)

2. Avoid toxins like junk food, diet soda, processed food, excessive alcohol and cigarettes.

Drink water to improve your skins health.

3. Drink an abundance of filtered water to hydrate and flush out toxins. Eight to ten glasses a day are recommended.

4. Use a dry skin brush daily, preferably before bathing. This simple and affordable technique stimulates blood and lymph flow, removes dead skin cells and encourages new cell growth. I’ve done this for years and it keeps my skin radiant and beautiful! Purchase one at your local health food store for around $8.

5. Exercise your body every day to stimulate your lymphatic system. Try rebounding on a mini trampoline, yoga, brisk walking or swimming.

6. Start a cellulite loving ritual. Gently massage your cellulite with a mixture of almond or coconut oil and few drops of lavender, lemon and peppermint essential oil every day. Breathe and think loving, accepting, positive thoughts as you massage the oils into your skin.

7. Finish your daily shower with a cold rinse to tone your skin, refresh and energize your body and soul! I do this every day and I love it!
