Orange peel skin tends to settle on the very areas we most want to show off in summer (of course!): thighs, calves, buttocks… For firmer, smoother skin, all it takes is a few natural solutions and some simple lifestyle tweaks!
The best natural solutions for orange peel skin
- Make sure you stay well hydrated to help your body flush out toxins and waste! Even with water retention cellulite: opt for still water with a squeeze of lemon or green tea, both known for their excellent draining properties.
- Boost your circulation through a targeted diet to tackle dimples: garlic, onion, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, fresh fruit, and more.
- Cut out salt, which encourages water retention and orange peel skin, along with processed and frozen ready meals. Replace salt with spices or herbs, far better for your health and your taste buds!
- Avoid snacking to prevent fat storage: aim for 5 small meals a day, meaning 3 proper meals and 2 snacks. This healthy habit helps speed up your metabolism and keeps hunger at bay.
- Certain plants are also excellent natural allies! Think horse chestnut, red vine, witch hazel, meadowsweet… You can brew infusions and anti-cellulite herbal teas to sip throughout the day. Also look out for draining supplements available at pharmacies, made with artichoke, dandelion, liquorice extracts, and more.
A few common-sense rules…
- Avoid wearing very high heels every day, as this type of footwear restricts good circulation, just like overly tight clothing.
- Take the stairs instead of heading straight for the lift!
- At the office, avoid crossing your legs and move them regularly. Get up every hour if you can, or simply stretch them out.
- Elevate your feet when lying down.
- Quit smoking! Tobacco impairs healthy blood circulation and damages the skin.
- Take cold showers every evening to stimulate circulation and firm up the skin.
- Take care of yourself! Dedicate a few moments to your skin each week: exfoliants and homemade scrubs, seaweed baths, anti-cellulite massages…
