I have heard that taking a teaspoon of flaxseed oil or olive oil everyday can help combat cellulite so i am taking extra virgin olive oil. Heres the thing i had someone tell me that i should rub it on my skin as well as taking it internally. will my skin absorb the essential fatty acids or should i just stick with gagging back spoonfuls of strait olive oil every day.
Also i would rather not take a supplement.

Actually, its not really the oil but the rubbing that helps fight cellulite. Rubbing or massaging cellulite hellps to break up the fat, improve skin's elasticity, and improve circulation to reduce water retention. To get the most affect, rub with a little oil or lotion, and use as much pressure as you can stand. 15 minutes a day, for 3 weeks and you may see quite a change.
And with taking the oil internally, you can get flax seed or other oils in gelcaps, which are much easier to swallow. Or, try drizzling the oil on a piece of toast with a little salt or italian seaoning. It doesn't have to be taken straight!
