Woah! I was just discussing this w/my mom today, since my sister is getting a promotion to "Supervisor of Homeopathic Medicine" in her company. She told me…long ago and for SEVERAL BORING HOURS…about how the fascia causes cellulite (when combined with fat). The fascia is like a "web" of connective tissue under the skin and even a little fat can "ooze" up through, causing a dimpled look (says Sis).

This is why "cures" focus on MASSAGE so often. It stretches the fascia and makes the fat less visible. Also, losing FAT helps, too, but I've seen fairly thin women (it's usually women, I don't know why) with cellulite! So…massage away, I guess!

Anything's worth a try if you're a fatty.

Wow, i'm not so sure that what he said is right. I never in my life heard that cellulite is 'generic' and that you'll be stuck forever!

Hell no. I say, walk everyday and get those thigh muscles pumped up. Cellulite is fat deposits and you've got to get some muscle built up to take the place of the fat deposits. Also – rub your thighs very firmly with soap in the shower for about 5 or 10 minutes. OR – getting a massage helps break up fat deposits and fatty tissue, but you must replace fat with muscle.

by the way, are there other family members with this problem? I just never heard that before. Don't mean I'm 100%. I just don't believe it's generic.

I personally notice that exercising daily will help it. Take a moderately paced walk everyday for about twenty to thirty minutes. Try some squats, while holding five lb. weights. It doesn't have to be a lot all at once. Just make sure you get cardiovascular exercise everyday, and some muscle toning exercises in. Try to keep to it about five days a week, do what you can. Try to cut down on any junk food, and just give it time. Patience and persistence will pay off after a few months.

Try skin brushing. This technique is very simple and relatively inexpensive. Simply use a loofah sponge or a soft body brush and scrub your hips, thighs and belly. This not only helps you to exfoliate, but it also stimulates blood flow and supports lymph functions. This will help to minimize the appearance of cellulite.

A multi-faceted approach works best when trying to remove cellulite. Try matching a diet and exercise program with topical creams that include anti-oxidants.

Cellulite is formed not solely because of a natural fat deposit in this area but because of a loss of elasticity to the skin. It probably won't ever completely disappear (models dont' have flat areas there, it's photo shop that make it look like that)… but your best bet is to use a firming lotion with Keratin in it in addition to the exercise that you are doing. Eat a well balanced diet with vitamin E supplement for skin, hair and nails. Good luck and love yourself as you are!

Cellulite… every woman's nightmare
Cellulite is the reason many women don't want anyone to see their legs. Even seemingly thin women suffer from this unsightly menace. Unfortunately, cellulite is very stubborn and hard to get rid of (even if you lose weight) and it gets worse with age if left untreated. Cellulite is caused by cells that are engorged with excess fat, toxins or excess fluid. These cells pop out between the skin's connective tissues, causing the skin to dimple. To get rid of cellulite successfully, you need to do three things:
1. Improve microcirculation to drain off excess fluid and toxins
2. Reduce the volume of fat cells via fat burning
3. Strengthen the connective tissues of your skin

There is one kind of vegetable capsules – CelluEase, says you can get rid of that unsightly cellulite from your upper arms, thighs and buttocks and have smoother and firmer skin all over with CelluEase, a breakthrough anti-cellulite formula from France.

Triple action works from deep within to:
• Increase lipolysis (fat burning process) to reduce the size of fat cells
• Accelerate drainage and remove excess fluid, toxins and waste from congested cells
• Improve the elasticity and strength of connective tissues

Seems like 85% women notice significant improvement in just 1 month!

Cellulite is the lumpy substance resembling cottage cheese that is commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and butt. Cellulite is actually a fancy name for collections of fat that push against the connective tissue beneath a person's skin, which causes the surface of the skin to dimple or pucker like the surface of an orange peel.

there aren't any miracle products, treatments, or medicines that can make it go away. For example, some fancy salon treatments that promise to get rid of cellulite simply cause your skin to puff up through deep massaging, temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite.
If you decide that you want to try to reduce the amount of cellulite you have, the best thing to do is to decrease excess body fat. If you and your doctor think that you are overweight, eat fewer calories and exercise more. Experts agree that an exercise routine that combines aerobic exercise with strength training is the best weapon against cellulite. In the meantime, if you want to conceal your cellulite, try using a self-tanning product. Cellulite tends to be a little bit less noticeable on darker skin.

I have the same problem….i looked all over online and I found this E 70 Cellutone by dermafresh i put it on after I took a shower every day i didnt even have to rub it in and it takes about 7 minutes to dry the next morning you wake up your legs feel like you've been working them out for hours so it works i've been using it for 2 weeks and the cellulite is totally gone and i even lost 2 1/2 inches on my legs i could't believe it you can get this at www.dermafresh.com to order but i found it at Walgreens for $14.99 i hope i could help:)

Nah, that stuff doesn't work.

If you really want to try something, look into coca butter lotions.

Apply the lotion every morning and night for weeks, and you will most definently notice a difference. But don't think it's going to work over night hun, nothing ever does!

God Bless!!
