Ewww! is the only way I can describe this bumpy, ugly phenomenon. Cellulite is a problem that many women are facing and getting rid of it seems impossible.
I have tried creams, coffee grounds, and drinking buckets of water, but nothing seems to work. I am mortified of someone noticing it when I am in my bikini! Not to mention just trying to be comfortable at the beach (not that it's warm enough in Chicago right now). I position myself to minimize any "problem areas" that someone else might see. I even do this silly thing where I take my cover-up off while I am sitting on my towel and put it back on before walking around.
It is just another thing that we women have to deal with and men get to live without (mostly).
They have surgeries, pills, creams, and even machines which are supposed to rid of us cellulite. The problem with these things - they do not work! Not to say I've tried all of them but the basis behind cellulite insists that these options are completely unrealistic.
Cellulite is composed of fat deposits that sits underneath your skin and gives you that horrible dimpled look. Creams might make your skin puff up, but they cannot enter into your fat cells and smooth them out. Liposuction is a huge no-no. Some doctors may recommend it, but they are going against their own research. Liposuction has actually been found to make cellulite much worse!
Unfortunately, we cannot just get rid of these fat cells. My take on minimizing the appearance is by increasing the muscle mass. By doing strength training and stretching we can help give our legs that tight, elongated look of 20 year old.
*My boyfriends recommendation: squats and lunges. I hate them too, but they are the best. And drink water!
