Can You Achieve Cellulite-Free Skin After Losing Weight?
I feel compelled to mention this right from the bat that most men would be very confused if you asked them to define cellulite.
They would probably give you a puzzled look, shrug their shoulders, and claim they had never noticed it after you went into depth explaining it and explaining that you suffered from it.
So, I guess it's a relief that most males don't seem to notice or understand the big deal!
They have their great moments, don't you think?
But from a woman's perspective, cellulite is, at best, something that limits her clothing options and, at worst, something that can be completely embarrassing.
Dimples on the cheeks can be adorable, but dimples on the buttocks and thighs are definitely not. Let's be real here.
People have complained that it gives women the "orange peel look"—a term most commonly used to describe their buttocks and thighs.
A lot of ladies will spend a small fortune trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
Now that we know it's a serious issue (for most women), I keep going back to the original question: Is cellulite completely reversible?
To be honest, I don't think that's likely right now, but there are a lot of things you can do to make cellulite less noticeable, and I'll try to list a few of them below.
To some extent, it helps to be aware of what causes cellulite and what, if anything, we can do to make it less noticeable or go away entirely.
Keep in mind that gaining weight is the main reason why people see cellulite. When a woman gains weight, the fat layers under her skin expand, but unfortunately, not in a uniform or smooth way.
The female hormone estrogen is to blame for this, as it encourages the accumulation of fat in the buttocks and thighs.
Cells storing fat in a woman's lower body are more prone to proliferate and provide a pinching sensation when the accumulation begins. This is the mechanism that causes cellulite, that unsightly appearance of dimples and bulges, and it almost exclusively affects women.
Also, if you don't exercise regularly, your skin will naturally lose some of its elasticity and firmness as you get older.
Now that we know what causes cellulite, let's take a closer look at some of the options we have to lessen its appearance.
Your first option is to accept it and find a way to live with it.
Yes, I am being quite serious right now!
It won't make you any less of a lady, and there's no reason you can't be stunningly beautiful anyway.
Under no circumstances should it become an obsession.
The second option, and the one I consider most significant, is to commit to a long-term and highly motivated attempt to shed those excess pounds. To win this struggle, I think a low-fat diet is the first and most important move you can take.
Do more exercise; it should be your number one goal!
Some examples of simple modifications include going for walks more often, picking up a sport you actually enjoy (maybe one you played when you were younger), or even just making the time to enroll in some exercise classes.
Sign up for the workouts that target your hips, buttocks, and thighs. Any cellulite-affected areas will noticeably improve and tone up after using this.
The third option is to experiment with different creams that are available for purchase. When combined with a deep massage method, these will make cellulite areas look better.
Remove extra fat with liposuction, the fourth and last option. Endermologie is another option; it's like a mechanical massage for your dimples.
You should be ready to go deep into your pockets for these treatments because they can be quite pricey.
Effective, Time-Saving Tricks for Cellulite Coverage.
Apply the fake tan as usual, but this time, dab a coating of hair serum (the thing you use to stop frizz) around your shinbone just before you're about to reveal your legs. This will make your shinbone's thinner section stand out more, drawing attention away from its less robust features.
The Proper Footwear—Wedges or heels will elongate your legs, but avoid flat shoes and those with ankle straps. In fact, they elongate and shorten your legs to an alarming degree.
Listen to what famous people have to say. Their pants are tailored to fall around an inch below the ankle, and they accessorize with high heels that complement their jeans and pants. Their legs will appear exceptionally long and thin as a result of this.
To redirect attention away from your thighs when you're out and about in your jeans, try accessorizing with a statement necklace, a sparkly scarf, or even a Wonderbra and a V-necked blouse (if you're feeling really risky).
If you want to make your legs look thinner, wear dark hues.
Give a Quick Fix a Go-See a beauty parlor and get one of their cellulite quick fix procedures as a treat for yourself. Although they are pricey, they do a great job of making your thighs appear slimmer and smoother.
The down side is that these operations don't endure forever.
While most women would want smoother, thinner thighs, keep in mind that how you look as a whole is what really counts.
The way other people perceive you is directly related to how you perceive yourself.
Keep in mind that progress, not perfection, is the goal. Throughout history, cellulite has been perceived by women as a femimine curse. Nobody has found a quick fix or a long-term solution just yet.
But in the meanwhile, prioritize your health as a whole, make a concerted effort to shed pounds, and stick to an exercise routine; someone, somewhere, might accomplish this.
This manner, you can put everything in perspective and, more importantly, preserve your self-confidence and self-esteem considerably higher than they would have been otherwise.
