Me being straightforward

1. Some creams and lotions will diminish the appearance for a brief stint. If you are planning on lounging in a bikini all day, it couldn’t hurt to rub some cellulite cream into your thighs. It’s generally overpriced, but if you can afford it and it makes you more confident, then do it. The caffeine tightens up the blood vessels and will make the skin look smoother for a short time.
2. Massages will do basically the same thing. This is a cover up, not a cure. However massages are great for many other reasons, including circulation, rejuvenation and stress reduction.
3. Self-tanner. The skin just shows fewer dimples when it’s browner (or oranger depending on your product).
4. Diet and exercise! Oh my golly, you mean there is another reason to eat right and work out? Yes!
OK, I would be lying if I said it will most definitely get rid of all your cellulite. It will certainly help and it can’t hurt, but remember that cellulite is genetic.
Strength training will lower your overall body fat, which will lower the appearance of fat under the skin. The best part of this method is that it won’t disappear after two hours. If you tighten up your muscles and start to notice a difference, this solution will be one that sticks around for awhile.
Just one more reason to get your butt to the gym!
