My ultra-effective action plan against cellulite

Contrary to what you might think, just a few weeks can be enough to show off smooth, clear skin, ladies! Fighting cellulite does, of course, involve eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly — let’s be honest. However, diet and physical activity alone aren’t enough to say goodbye to that stubborn orange peel skin! When it comes to cellulite, there are simple and effective tricks, and the good news is that you can start adopting them today. Here’s a full rundown of all the best practices to put in place right now to smooth away dimples in just a few weeks. Ready?

Eating well to fight cellulite

You can work out at the gym every single day, but you won’t get rid of your orange peel skin if you don’t also choose the right diet, ladies! Here are a few simple tips for making better choices on your plate:

• Cut out refined sugar (white sugar) and replace it with honey, agave syrup or unrefined cane sugar.
• Reduce your salt intake, which encourages cellulite to develop. Try seasoning your dishes with fleur de sel or spices instead.
• Skip all fried foods! Too salty and too fatty, foods cooked in oil are your enemies if you want to fight cellulite. Opt for oven-baked, boiled or steamed cooking methods instead.
• Drink enough water every day. By drinking at least 1.5 litres of water daily, you’ll help your body flush out toxins and break down fatty deposits. If plain water bores you, why not try anti-cellulite herbal teas? We share some ideas here.
• Fill your plate with vegetables and protein at every meal, alongside a portion of wholegrain carbohydrates.
• Treat yourself to foods known for their anti-cellulite properties: citrus fruits, berries, pineapple, cabbage, parsley, aubergine… These foods will help you fight cellulite naturally.

An effective skincare routine against cellulite

Anti-cellulite massages

To smooth away dimples and fight cellulite at a deeper level, there’s one method you simply can’t overlook: pinch-and-roll massages. This type of massage is recognised by health professionals as one of the best anti-cellulite treatments. The concept is straightforward: the pinch-and-roll technique breaks up fatty deposits deep beneath the skin — those settled in your thighs, buttocks, hips or arms. By breaking down these deposits, blood circulation can flow more freely and dimples gradually disappear. That said, performing pinch-and-roll massages on yourself by hand can be tricky. But don’t worry — to do it perfectly and effortlessly, all you need is the CelluBlue Cup! This silicone cup replicates the massage technique through its suction effect. Simply pair it with a nourishing oil such as the Massage Oil to carry out your anti-cellulite massage session with ease and see the first results in as little as 3 weeks. And all in just 5 minutes a day!

Anti-cellulite treatments

To see results even faster and rediscover smooth skin, we recommend pairing your CelluBlue Cup massage routine with effective anti-cellulite and slimming treatments. For example, you could try the intensive anti-cellulite scrub, which removes impurities and smooths your skin’s texture. For a relaxing moment, try the intensive slimming wrap, which helps eliminate fat and tone your skin.

Moving to fight cellulite

Diet and body care are essential for fighting cellulite. But sport shouldn’t be forgotten either! Regular physical activity encourages your body to burn stored fat and tone up. Here are a few fitness tips to help you fight cellulite in just a few weeks:

• Walk as much as possible, every day. Brisk walking stimulates blood circulation and helps relieve the feeling of heavy legs.
• Try water-based sports. Swimming, aqua aerobics, aqua cycling… These activities are well known for toning the whole body and fighting cellulite, thanks to the massaging effect of the water.
• Get your bike out to strengthen your entire lower body and say goodbye to orange peel skin!
• Increase the intensity of your workouts by using dumbbells, ankle weights or a resistance band. This added resistance forces your muscles to work harder and deeper. Your skin will feel firmer and more toned within just a few weeks.
• Try interval training. This technique alternates between bursts of intense effort and active recovery phases. This sudden energy expenditure forces your body to tap into its fat reserves.
• Don’t neglect strength training. To fight cellulite effectively, it’s important to combine cardio activities — which burn fat — with muscle-strengthening exercises, which tone your body and refine your silhouette. Combining both types of activity gives you the best chance of smoothing away those dimples.

Simple everyday habits to fight cellulite

Fighting cellulite also comes down to simple daily gestures. Give them a try and, you’ll see, they’ll quickly become second nature!

• Ditch clothes that are too tight. They encourage water retention, heavy legs and the appearance of cellulite. Time to bring out your dresses, skirts and wide-leg trousers!
• Finish your shower with a blast of cold water, working upwards from your ankles to your buttocks. As well as waking you up, this simple trick stimulates blood circulation and helps fight cellulite.
• Add anti-cellulite food supplements to your daily routine. When chosen wisely, these supplements can help you achieve smoother skin, reduce the appearance of orange peel skin, water retention and fat storage.
• Drink a freshly squeezed lemon juice every morning, diluted in a glass of warm water. Lemon is particularly well known for its anti-cellulite properties — it’s the perfect ally for beautiful, smooth skin. You can even add a little ginger for an even more powerful anti-dimple combo!
