Ugh, cellulite. It’s the bane of every woman’s existence.

In fact, cellulite is a condition that affects 90 percent of women (and 10 percent of men, actually). 

That’s a lot of women who are dealing with the anxieties of cellulite. In fact, if you think about it, this means that truly women of every size deal with cellulite. 

Knowing you’re not alone in your struggles with cellulite can be comforting. But, that probably doesn’t stop you from looking in the mirror in the morning and staring down those cottage-cheese like formations with dread and annoyance. 

But, we’ve got some good news for you. While there’s no magic wand you can wave to make all of your cellulite instantly disappear, there are some things you can do to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your body. 

Intrigued?

Read on to learn about how to remove cellulite with these 7 tried-and-tested methods. 

1. Cellulite Removal 

As we said, we don’t have a magic wand that can make your cellulite instantly vanish. 

But, there is something out there that comes pretty close to it, and it’s called Velashape III. Velashape III is a non-invasive, body contouring device that can reduce the appearance of cellulite. 

Best of all, there is no downtime and hardly any discomfort with the treatment. Of course, the body contouring will need to be performed by a certified professional, so be sure to get in touch with a trusted medical spa in your area to see if they offer the service. 

2. Exercise 

That’s right- some good ol’ fashioned exercise is one of the best ways to get rid of cellulite. 

But, in order to effectively get rid of cellulite through exercise, you need to make sure you do the right types of workouts. 

In other words, running for endless hours on the treadmill won’t do the trick. It may certainly help you lose some fat on your body, but it’s not the most effective workout for reducing cellulite. 

For cellulite reduction, we recommend hitting the weights and doing bodyweight exercises that challenge and strengthen your muscles. 

Some exercises we recommend include:

• Squats
• Jump squats
• Front lunges
• Side lunges
• Glute kickbacks
• Deadlifts
• Pistol squats
• Wall sits

Basically, any exercise that challenges your muscles or that involves pumping some iron can work to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. 

3. Eating a Healthy Diet 

Now, there is some debate out there whether or not what you eat really plays a role in how much cellulite you have. 

As we said earlier, women of all shapes and sizes have cellulite, so it would seem like your diet doesn’t play a huge role. 

That being said, certain foods can cause your cellulite to become more pronounced. Eating foods that are high in salt, for example, is something you want to avoid. 

This is because salt causes your fat cells to swell, which in turn makes your cellulite more apparent. 

Therefore, do what you can to watch your sodium intake, and try to stick to eating fibrous, whole-grain foods as much as possible. 

4. Drink Water

In addition to eating right, be sure to drink plenty of water. Not only does water keep you hydrated, but it can also remove toxins from your body that otherwise would cause fat accumulation. 

Plus, water can encourage lymphatic flow and circulation, two key components of keeping cellulite at bay. 

While the amount of water you need to drink will vary on your size and activity levels, you should aim to drink enough to stay hydrated. 

How do you know if you’re hydrated? 

It may sound weird but look at your pee. If your pee is light yellow-almost clear, that means your hydrated. If it’s dark yellow, that means your dehydrated and you need to drink more water. 

If you’re someone who struggles to drink enough water each day, try carrying a water bottle with you wherever you go and taking small sips throughout the day. And, consider adding things to your water to make it more enticing to drink, such as fresh fruit, mint leaves, or cucumber slices. 

5. Get a Spray Tan 

Ok, getting a spray tan won’t get rid of cellulite (although that would be nice, wouldn’t it?), but it can certainly help reduce the appearance of it for a short span of time. 

This is because cellulite is often less visible in darker skin tones. 

So, head to the salon for a spray tan, or if you’re brave, try an at-home spray tan kit or lotion. 

Also, make sure you exfoliate your skin before you get your spray tan. Exfoliation will allow the spray tan formula to better soak into your skin and last longer. 

And, as tempting as it may be for the sake of cellulite reduction, avoid tanning in the sun or at tanning salons. While doing these activities may help reduce the appearance of cellulite, they lead to a whole other array of skin issues, such as wrinkles an skin cancer. 

6. Quit Smoking (If You Do)

On top of the wide variety of health issues smoking cigarettes can cause, it can also increase the appearance of cellulite. 

This is because when you smoke cigarettes, the formation of collagen becomes weaker. This is bad news because collagen is the main structural component of our connective tissue. 

In other words, when collagen doesn’t properly form, cellulite becomes more pronounced. 

So, put down the cigarettes and hit the gym instead. 

7. Wear Compression Leggings 

Certain form-fitting clothing- like swimsuits or Spandex, can actually highlight the appearance of cellulite. 

Therefore, be careful when you’re shopping for new clothes, and look for items that work to reduce or cover up the appearance of cellulite. 

If you’re a big leggings person, we definitely recommend investing in a pair of compression leggings. 

Compression leggings help smooth out the lumpy appearance of cellulite. And, they also help keep your circulation moving, which in turn can prevent cellulite from pooling up on your body.
