Seriously, what is the best cellulite cream on the market? Did you know most women over 20 years of age have Cellulite? And I bet 100% of them hate it and want to buy something that'll make it simply disappear. But do you think it can really be that easy? I'm not so sure.
I don't know about you but I work out regularly and eat a very healthy diet. But I've still always had bad cellulite. I've also spent thousands of dollars on pills, massage treatments (some of them seemed more like electric shock treatments by the way), oils, acupuncture and all sorts of other things. And all of them have made little or no permanent difference. You've probably done the same thing right?
So, what is the best cellulite cream out there? Is there something we can rub on the awful, bumpy bits of cellulite that we loathe that will make is go away for good?
The problem is we all want to get rid of cellulite forever, quickly and easily. And like I said, most women over 20 have cellulite; though some worse than others of course. So it comes as no surprise to see that all the creams and potions in the beauty departments are targeted towards us.
So, I thought I'd do a bit of research first to find out what some of the causes of cellulite are; the staff in the Beauty Department certainly couldn't tell me! And guess what? Hormones seem to play one of the biggest roles in the formation of cellulite. Oestrogen, insulin, adrenaline, and thyroid hormones are all believed to participate in its development.
Another contributing factor seems to be our age. As we get older, our metabolisms change. We lose muscle tone and our metabolisms slow down and we burn less fat. Add to that too much dieting over the years, and losing or gaining lots of weight, and the actual structure of our skin and adipose tissue [1] (body fat) also changes and weakens. All of which makes our cellulite appear even worse and far more noticeable.
And did you know that even stress can cause cellulite? Or at least make it worse! Yes, your lifestyle has a lot to do with it. In our world of drinking too much coffee and alcohol, eating too much processed food and not drinking enough water, our livers are highly toxic. This leads to even more noticeable cellulite!
It really seems like a no win situation doesn't it? And I certainly can't see how even the latest and greatest cellulite cream on the market is going to help us when what we really need is an inexpensive, natural way to reduce cellulite from within; preferably without strenuous exercise. We need something that truly transforms the lumpy, flabby bits into sexy, smooth limbs. Now doesn't that sound good?
Well now that we know the likelihood of even the best cellulite cream being able to deliver on its promises are pretty low, we can start looking for a real solution. I'm sure we can all have cellulite-free hips and thighs without being ripped off by all those beauty department creams and treatments that just won't work.
Talk more soon,
