In a ranking of things women detest, cellulite would undoubtedly claim the top spot, especially as summer approaches and shorts replace heavy winter wear. The good news is that with enough determination, you can conquer it in three simple steps. Consistency is key. All you need is to cleverly combine exercise, diet, and treatments which, thanks to the beauty tech wizards at Foreo, have become much easier to perform at home. Here are the three steps to follow:
Eat Healthy
Recent studies show that over 80% of women over the age of 30 have cellulite, regardless of whether they have a more or less perfect silhouette. The situation has worsened in recent years. More and more teenagers are horrified to discover at the start of summer that their skin has developed some “dimples” that weren’t there a few months ago. Do not confuse cellulite, which is a skin condition, with fat. Yet, one of the main enemies is food that is too rich and calorific. What should you do? Cut out fats and sugars. Replace fast food with generous portions of vegetables, preferably from clean, local sources or your own garden. You need vitamins A and C and plenty of magnesium. It’s proven that oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are invaluable in the fight against cellulite. Don’t be scared off by the peel of these fruits, which resemble the “dimples” you hate. They are true antioxidant factories, rich in vitamin C, which stimulates collagen production. Lemons have another quality: they cleanse the liver of all the toxins that cause cellulite.
Exercise Frequently
It’s true that cellulite isn’t just accumulated fat that can be easily “melted” away through exercise. It’s a combination of factors, starting from fluid retention in the body, poor microcirculation, loss of tissue elasticity, and the thickening and hardening of fat cells. A sedentary lifestyle exacerbates this whole process. Don’t have time for the gym or money for personal trainers? Scientists have a valuable tip for you. Walk 15,000 steps a day, if possible at a brisk pace. Once you start walking, you activate your circulation and help your body eliminate excess toxins, in addition to burning extra calories. Can’t manage 15,000 steps a day? Start with one-hour brisk walking sessions at least three times a week, and you’ll see spectacular results within a month.
Our advice:
After each workout or brisk walking session, massage the problem areas with the new FOREO LUNA™ 4 body massage device. It’s like moving the spa to your home. In addition to deeply cleansing the skin, it boosts microcirculation and relaxes the muscles, perfectly preparing them for optimal body lotion absorption. Your body will be much happier that you chose a massage instead of the chocolate ice cream winking at you from the freezer.
Opt for Cutting-edge Microcurrent Treatments
Our skin needs the same care as our face, but until recently, more sophisticated treatments could only be done at spas. If you’re depressed by what you see in the mirror, the FOREO BEAR™ 2 body device will become your new best friend. It’s a smart, latest-generation gadget specially designed for body toning with microcurrents. In just a few weeks, you can see visible results. The device’s four spheres fight even the stubborn dimples on your thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, significantly improving the appearance of cellulite.
There you have it! Now you know the so-called secrets of the stars. All that’s left is for you to apply them and not cheat. The reward will come in the likes on your beach photos.
