Cellulite is a common problem that many women and men alike suffer from. Typically occurring on the legs and thighs, cellulite is simply fat that appears lumpy and/or bumpy. This happens as a result of the fat pressing against the connective tissues of the body, which alters the appearance of the skin in the affected area. While there are a number of treatments available, including potentially costly and invasive medical procedures, there are also natural cures available for the treatment of cellulite.

Exercise and Healthy Eating

Since cellulite is actually fat, weight loss is one of the most natural remedies. Eating properly and exercising on a regular basis can help reduce the appearance of this type of fat. However, even those that are of a healthy weight can still have cellulite. Therefore, experts recommend not only cardio, but strength training and toning exercises as well.

Wraps and Massage

Massage therapy and wraps compromised of skin healthy ingredients — such as Vitamin E — can also be used as a natural cellulite remedy. Studies show that, while these remedies can be beneficial, results are often only temporary in nature. These types of treatments can be provided in the home or at many salons and spas for an additional cost.

Dry Brushing

For years, dry brushing has been used as an all-natural and safe remedy for cellulite. In addition to potentially ridding the area of cellulite, there are many health benefits associated with this practice. This can include promotion of circulation.. It can also have amazing benefits for the skin, such as sloughing off dead skin cells to enhance the overall appearance.
