When a woman starts to approach menopause, the amount of estrogen in her body begins to decrease. Between 25 and 35 years of age is when cellulite begins to appear. A decrease in estrogen leads to poorer circulation and a lack of oxygen and nutrition to the cellulite layer of fat. The body also tends to put on fat during the same time in life and they start to bulge out from their pockets.
Cellulite tends to be found on the buttocks, saddlebags and around the knees. This is because there are three layers of fat in these areas. Cellulite doesnât discriminate â thin women are just as likely to get the problem as overweight women.
The foundation of any anti cellulite program is to eat right and exercise. However, this is not often enough to target the things that causes cellulite, especially if you are a thinner woman with the condition. Try these methods in addition to diet and exercise
Coffee scrub â rubbing coffee into your cellulite afflicted areas can increase circulation, remove fat and detoxify the skin. Some women mix the coffee with a moisturizer while others wrap the coffee and skin with plastic wrap to create an at-home body wrap.
Get a tan â when the skin is darker, it is more difficult to see the lumpy appearance of cellulite. However, it is important not to get a UV-based tan as this can damage the collagen and skin, making the cellulite worse. Instead, use a fake tan.
Moisturizer â you donât need to pay lots of money on anti cellulite lotions. Use lots of your usual moisturizer. Make sure you massage the lotion deeply into the skin and fat in order to get the best benefits from it. You could also choose to use a wooden or plastic massage to make the whole method more effective.
