Contrary to what you might think, looking after your skin every day isn’t complicated, ladies! It does, of course, involve eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly — let’s be honest. However, when it comes to tackling the appearance of cellulite, there are also simple tricks, with skincare and massage leading the way, 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 every day to care for dimpled areas: diet, skincare, exercise and little daily habits. Ready?
Eating well every day
A wholesome, balanced diet is one of the cornerstones of good everyday habits, and that’s true even if you work out at the gym every single day, ladies! No single food will make orange peel skin vanish on its own, but 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. Try seasoning your dishes with sea salt flakes or spices instead.
Skip fried foods! Too salty and too fatty, foods cooked in oil are best saved for special occasions. Opt for oven-baked, boiled or steamed cooking methods instead. And for everything you need to know about the skincare and habits for tackling the appearance of cellulite, follow our guide.
Drink enough water, at least 1.5 litres a day. If plain water bores you, why not try 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 a wide variety of fruit and veg: citrus fruits, berries, pineapple, cabbage, parsley, aubergine… Perfect for putting together colourful, tasty plates.
A skincare routine to target the look of cellulite
Anti-cellulite massages
To care for dimpled areas, there’s one method you simply can’t overlook: pinch-and-roll massages. This type of massage is particularly suited to your thighs, buttocks, hips or arms. That said, performing pinch-and-roll massages on yourself by hand can be tricky. But don’t worry: to do it 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 all in just 5 minutes a day!
Anti-cellulite treatments
To complement your CelluBlue Cup massage routine, we recommend pairing it with anti-cellulite treatments. For example, you could try the Cellulite Scrub, which cares for your skin’s texture. For a relaxing moment, discover our body care range, with treatments to add to your routine to pamper your skin.
Diet and body care each have their place in your routine. But sport shouldn’t be forgotten either! Regular physical activity can be part of an active lifestyle. Here are a few fitness tips to help you fight the appearance of cellulite:
Walk as much as possible, every day. Brisk walking is an easy way to move more in your daily life.
Try water-based sports. Swimming, aqua aerobics, aqua cycling… These activities work the whole body, with the added bonus of the massaging feel of the water.
Get your bike out to work your entire lower body!
Increase the intensity of your workouts by using dumbbells, ankle weights or a resistance band. This added resistance makes your muscles work harder.
Try interval training. This technique alternates between bursts of intense effort and active recovery phases.
Don’t neglect strength training. To tackle the look of cellulite, ideally combine cardio activities with muscle-strengthening exercises, which can be included in a balanced exercise routine.
Simple everyday tips
Looking after yourself also comes down to simple daily gestures. Give them a try and you’ll see: they’ll quickly become second nature!
Opt for comfortable clothes that you feel at ease in. 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 fits easily into your beauty routine.
If you wish, discover our food supplements. These supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle: if in doubt, ask your GP or pharmacist for advice.
If you like, drink freshly squeezed lemon juice diluted in a glass of warm water every morning. It’s a pleasant way to start the day. You can even add a little ginger for an extra zing!
My everyday routine: the recap
To build your routine, the idea is to combine all the tips in this article rather than relying on just one. In the morning, start with a glass of warm lemon water, then keep sipping water regularly throughout the day. At mealtimes, focus on vegetables, protein and wholegrain carbs, while cutting back on refined sugar, salt and fried food. On the exercise front, walk every day and alternate cardio and strength training over the course of the week.
For skincare, treat yourself to 5 minutes of pinch-and-roll massage every day with the CelluBlue Cup and a massage oil, adding a scrub every now and then. Finish your shower with a blast of cold water. The secret? Consistency!

Frequently asked questions
How do you fight cellulite?
The easiest approach is to combine several habits rather than relying on just one: skincare, massage and exercise complement each other, alongside a balanced diet and a few simple daily rituals. Each section of the article goes through these tips in detail, and the recap “My everyday routine” helps you organise them day by day.
Can you get rid of cellulite fast?
Be wary of quick-fix promises: orange peel skin is something you work on over time. It’s sticking to your good habits that counts, far more than any one-off gesture. Be patient and kind to your body. If you have any medical questions, ask your GP or another medical professional for advice.
What exercise is best for cellulite?
Brisk walking, cycling and water-based sports such as swimming, aqua aerobics or aqua cycling are all good options.

Combining cardio and strength work is a good approach, as explained in the section “Getting moving to tackle the look of cellulite”.
Can diet get rid of cellulite?
No single food will make cellulite disappear on its own.

Make sure you drink enough water every day too.
