Want to get rid of cellulite on your arms and calves, but not sure where to start? These areas can be particularly tricky: once cellulite takes hold, it’s notoriously stubborn to shift. Don’t worry, here are the everyday habits that help you look after your arms and legs: a balanced diet, targeted strength exercises and skin-rolling massage.
Cellulite on your arms and calves: start with a balanced diet
To look after your arms and legs, it’s important to pay attention to what you eat. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of variety.
Try to limit your intake of foods that are high in calories, fat and sugar, and make vegetables your best friend: cook them in a variety of ways (steamed, raw, blanched, and so on), without added fats, of course. They have a place at every meal.
Also make sure to include protein sources such as eggs, lean white or red meat, fish and tofu.
Cellulite on your arms and calves: build some muscle
Since cellulite tends to settle in less toned areas, targeted strength exercises are key:
- Try low-impact endurance sports such as Nordic walking, which energises and stimulates the whole body
- Get into water-based sports like aquabike
- Add squats to your routine: lower-body exercises like squats also indirectly engage the calves.
Cellulite on your arms and calves: try skin-rolling massage!

- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
Treat your arms and calves to targeted massages using the skin-rolling technique, which involves pinching the skin and rolling it between your fingers. With our anti-cellulite cupping kit, you can recreate this movement at home. The S cup, specially designed to massage smaller areas such as the arms and calves, is your go-to for these two zones!
