DON’T STRESS TOO MUCH
Stress is a big contributor to cellulite. Stress produces a hormone called
cortisol which can make your body store energy and fat. Think about doing
yoga and meditation exercises. Go for walks that are long and relaxing. Find
something that is calming and will work best for you, then get enough sleep nightly.
Reducing your stress levels also helps to reduce cellulite. When a stressful situation
occurs, the hormone Cortisol is let loose in your body. That hormone will thin skin and
make your storage of fat increase. To get rid of stress, try doing meditation and yoga.

TRY TO GET SOME TAN
A good way to reduce the
appearance of cellulite is by tanning.
Tanning does not eliminate the condition,
but it minimizes the appearance of it.
Exposing your skin to the sun can be
harmful, so try a spray tan. Do your
research, though, and find a trusted brand.
Cellulite may be less noticeable if you get a
tan. Everything, cellulite patches included,
looks smaller when dark. Make sure that
you exfoliate your skin before applying
any sort of tanning spray or lotion. You
want the tan to be even.

USE A BODY BRUSH ON YOUR
CELLULITE
Brushing helps rid your body of dead skin,
and it also helps stimulate circulation
and increase lymphatic flow. This process
will allow your skin cells to drain, which
can mitigate the effects of cellulite. Try
brushing twice a day with long strokes.
Use a dry brush with natural bristles to
boost circulation and limit the buildup
of cellulite. Work from the tops of your
feet up the rest of your body to remove
dry skin cells from your entire body. This
helps increase your blood’s circulation and
