If you’re a female, and you have areas on your thighs, buttocks or stomach that remind you of orange peels or cottage cheese, take heart. You’re not alone. Cellulite is an embarrassing and extremely common problem among women. It occurs when fat deposits build up just below the skin’s surface. Unlike other forms of body fat, cellulite doesn’t respond to dieting. However, a diet high in carbs and low in fiber is thought to encourage cellulite development. Estrogen levels, genetics and circulation problems can also contribute. Fortunately, you don’t have to sit idly by, and let cottage cheese thighs ruin your confidence and limit your summer wardrobe. Cellulite busters can help by dissolving fat cells under the skin’s surface, toning and detoxifying skin and improving elasticity. Here are some of our top product recommendations for reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Bliss Cellulite Products

Bliss Fatgirlsleep restores your skin while you get your beauty sleep. The ultra-rich cream formula targets the underlying causes of cellulite like fat storage, water retention and loss of skin elasticity. Used with other Bliss skin-firming products such as Fatgirlslim and The Love Handler, it can help minimize the appearance of cellulite and give you back your bikini-worthy confidence.

Babor Stop Cellulite Set

Babor’s Stop Cellulite Set includes two products that work together to fight cellulite at its source. The Morning Activator Cellulite Gel breaks down fat cells during the day by increasing microcirculation and encouraging the elimination of toxins and waste matter from skin tissues; this action helps the active ingredients penetrate deep into skin layers. The Evening Eliminator further flushes out toxins, breaks down fatty acids and makes skin smoother and firmer.

Murad– The Cellulite Solution

If you have a serious cellulite problem and need in-depth advice, it’s time to do your research. Murad– The Cellulite Solution, written by acclaimed dermatologist and author Dr. Howard Murad, explains the science behind cellulite and offers a simple, three-pronged approach to combating and preventing it. Murad’s approach combines nutritional changes, lifestyle modifications and topical treatments to help repair skin and restore a healthy, smooth appearance.

Don’t Give Up

Winning the war against cellulite takes time and dedication, and products that work for one person may not work as well for another. With determination and consistent treatment routines, you can smooth out the cottage cheese, and look and feel better in even the most revealing fashions.
