The sun has barely started to show its face and you’re already dreaming of the little summer dresses you’ll slip into or that gorgeous swimsuit you’ve had your eye on. But there’s one thing standing in the way: that uneven skin texture that quietly settled in over the holiday season… Don’t worry, today we’re sharing several practical tips for tackling cellulite, from what’s on your plate to massage, movement and the right tools.
90% of women are affected by cellulite
Cellulite is defined by fat cells beneath the skin, held in place by fibrous bands, which gives the skin its dimpled “orange peel skin” appearance. It affects the vast majority of women, including those with little weight to lose, as it depends a great deal on hormones and the structure of the skin. A diet that is too rich and a lack of activity can make it more visible, most often on the stomach, hips, thighs and even the arms. Hormonal changes and lifestyle can also affect where it appears, sometimes in very specific areas, such as the notorious “saddlebags“. Finally, at the time of menopause, skin loses some of its firmness and cellulite can become more visible.
Getting rid of cellulite: eat well, move well, massage well!
When it comes to food, variety is key. Retinol is the form of vitamin A found in animal products, such as liver, eggs and butter. Plant-based foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots and sweet potatoes, provide beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Strawberries, kiwis and lemons are rich in vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Celery and watermelon are very rich in water and easy to add to summer meals. No single food will make cellulite disappear on its own: it’s the overall balance of your diet that counts. Regular physical activity also helps you tackle the appearance of cellulite. Finally, take full care of your body and regularly massage it to smooth the appearance of your skin.
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- 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
Friction massage: the solution for getting rid of cellulite
If visiting a beauty salon or physiotherapist isn’t an option, the only solution is a little elbow grease! Make it a habit to massage your skin daily all over the body, vigorously performing circular movements with the palm of your hand and pinching the skin folds with your fingertips. Focus especially on the thighs and buttocks. This massage technique is based on the well-known pinch-and-roll method. At first, the sensation may be a little uncomfortable, but it can become more familiar the more regularly you do it.
The anti-cellulite cup: one way to get rid of cellulite
The pinch-and-roll massage technique can be difficult to replicate correctly by hand, and salon sessions come at a cost. The CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup allows you to replicate this iconic pinch-and-roll technique simply, at home. With just 5 minutes of use per day per area, it fits easily into your daily routine.
Discover before and after photos from users of the Cellublue anti-cellulite cup. Results vary from person to person and depend on how regularly you use it:

After 4 weeks of using the Cellublue cup.
Before and after: one month of Cellublue use with 2–3 sessions per week.
6 weeks of massage with the Cellublue cup!
10 days of massage with the anti-cellulite cup!
Key points to bear in mind
- Cellulite is extremely common and is not a medical condition: it also affects women who aren’t overweight.
- No method gets rid of it for good. Massage, physical activity and a balanced diet all work on how it looks, as long as you stick with them.
- Results vary from person to person. A short routine you keep up over time is better than an intense programme you give up after a few days.
Frequently asked questions
How can I get rid of cellulite fast?
There’s no instant fix. What you can do is follow a regular routine that combines movement, a balanced diet and daily massage as part of your self-care. A few minutes every day is much easier to fit into your life than an occasional one-off session.
Should I massage by hand or use the anti-cellulite cup?
The two work well together. Hand massage using friction, based on the pinch-and-roll technique, needs no equipment but is hard to do properly on your own. The cup makes this technique easier to do at home. Choose the method you’re most likely to stick with over time.
How do I use the CelluBlue cup?
Allow 5 minutes per day per area. The movement recreates the pinch-and-roll technique, focusing on the areas that concern you, such as the thighs and buttocks. Doing it regularly matters more than how long each session lasts.
