3 awesome tips to avoid cellulite

Drink well
Drink six to eight glasses of water per day to flush out any excess sodium that causes fluid retention. If you get bored of water, try herbal teas or adding a little pure fruit juice to it. Sticking to this regime can make your skin look plumper within seven days.
Quit smoking
Here’s yet another reason to kick the habit. Smoking can worsen cellulite as it cuts off your skin’s food supply and floods your body with toxins. This can have a detrimental effect on the elasticity of your skin, thereby worsening cellulite… and bringing on premature wrinkles and sagging. Ah!
De-stress!
Stress bunnies take note! Stress causes hormonal changes that can affect the skin. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can cause thinning of the skin and increased fat storage. It can also slow the production of growth hormones that create healthy skin. It is so important to get relaxation into your day; try yoga, cycling or walking, and make sure you get the magic eight hours sleep per night.
