Fat and thin, long and short, married and single — Cellulite does not discriminate among women.
Although, between men and women, it is the women who are getting the brunt of this un-pretty skin condition.
Believe it or not, this sex difference exists for pretty good reasons too.
Why Do I Have Cellulite?
Yes, we know, Girl.
Sometimes the appearance of cellulite is enough to drive you nuts as if you’ve just been diagnosed with some debilitating disease that you know will plague you for the rest of your life.
As a matter of fact, not so long ago, once you get cellulites, you’re in it for life, and no cellular removal exercises can help you get rid of that.
Only recently has this skin concern seen some significant developments in treatment — yes, when once the only realistic goal was to reduce cellulite, these days, you can completely eradicate them.

So, anyway, why you?
There are a number of contributing factors, the top causes are outlined below:
1. Women Grow Cellulites More Often Than Do Men
Women naturally have a higher affinity for storing fat — thanks to estrogen — while men’s testosterone favors fat burn.
So, women are more prone to cellulite.
Combined with a loosely arranged skin matrix, fats that grow out of proportion easily get trapped in skin fibers and show through as bulges and dimples on your thin skin surface.
2. About 95 Percent of Women Are Estimated to Suffer From At Least One Form of Cellulite
Cellulites are graded according to how badly these show through your skin.
Studies have found, the majority of women have anywhere from Grades 1 to 4 of cellulitis.
95 percent is a lot of risks, and if you are one of those very lucky 5 percent living without orange peels then, that calls for a feast!
3. You’Ve Probably Been Living An Unhealthy Kind Of Lifestyle
Although you are clearly predisposed to have cellulites, these eyesores don’t grow overnight.
A combination of an unhealthy diet, lack of regular workout, chronic stress, and sleeplessness can all lead to cellulites manifesting on all the fat deposits on your body — usually the tummy, thighs, legs, underside of arms, and your lower back.
Your Strategy to Beat Cellulites

To beat cellulites, therefore, takes your commitment and dedication to work the long and hard way to achieve your cellulite-free skin.
Before anything else though, you need to settle some things:
- How bad are your cellulites?
- Where are the cellulites you want to vanish located?
- Are you open to treatments? Or, would you like to lose your cellulites via natural remedies only?
- What results do you want to see?
Your answers to these guide questions will be key to determining what kind of cellulite treatment intervention you will need.
If you want to see drastic improvements, no exercise nor a complete lifestyle change can give you that.
If you don’t have bothersome-looking cellulites then, natural means and even DIY cellulite treatments could work for you.
In any case, here are the top 7 ways by which you can get ahead of your cellulite troubles:
1. Get Your Heartbeat Up
You can only wish that skin firming creams could finally work wonders but, even if you lathered on a gallon of these products each day, you won’t see any lasting improvements.
The only way to get this goal done is to exercise.
Do a combination of weight training and cardiovascular exercise. Remember that you can’t localize muscle building.
That means, if you want to improve one part of your body, you have to work out the entirety.
2. Build More Muscle
If you’ve tried going to the gym before, you’ve probably heard about the rule that to burn more fats, you must build more muscle — and that’s what you would want to achieve.
This is one way to localize your target part but, it is best if you can distribute the tension of a weight training routine throughout your body.
3. Improve Blood Circulation And Fluid Drainage
Regular workouts can help you achieve that and, many more.
One reason why bulges appear is that fats cannot drain out of your body.
Some of the ways by which you can enhance this process are by dry skin brushing beginning from the feet all the way to the heart, a full body massage, and water therapy that makes a quick change of hot bath and cold bath.
4. Mind Your Diet
Incorporate a more circulation-enhancing and antioxidant-rich diet, herbs, tea, and pure (no milk, no solids) chocolate into your diet to help fight and eliminate toxins from your system.
This will help improve your drainage system as well. Be aware, too, of how your food is prepared.
Favor boiled and stewed dishes over fried meals. Stick to fresh foods and stay away from processed foods as much as you can.
5. Develop Good Sleeping Habits
Put your mind, body, and spirit to rest.
Practice relaxation techniques to slow down your system and help lull you to deep, quiet sleep.
Getting at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night will help you from losing muscle and skin firmness more than any steeply-priced cellulite removal cream can ever do.
6. De-stress
Stress can be good for you but, when it is chronic, it does more bad things to your body, including limiting the nutrient uptake of your tissues, and blocking fluid drainage.
Do things that make you relax and help you laugh it out loud despite so many problems that could be vying for your attention all at the same time.
7. Sign Up For Cellulite Treatment
If you’re open to procedures then, why resist instant gratification if there are means by which you can accomplish your cellulite removal goal sooner?
Ask your favorite skin treatment center about non-invasive and minimally invasive ways to vanish your cellulites.
You can begin your research by looking up endermologie, cellfina, cellulaze, and BodyFX.
Learn the pros and cons, and find out which one matches your goals, budget, and expectations the best.
There are plenty of products like HerSolution Sculpt Scrub Cream, New York Biology Anti Cellulite Treatment Massage Oil and L’Oreal Perfect Slim Anti-Cellulite Gel available in the market that claims to reduce the cellulite and helps in toning the skin.
