Now that the cold weather is ending and the sun is starting to shine ever so brightly, it is not surprising to see a picture or two of celebrities in their bikinis and super mini-shorts. But unfortunately, most of the photos displayed on the glossy covers of magazines are highlighting the not-so-perfect thighs and buns of celebrities. Nowadays, people are feasting their eyes on the dimple-riddled skin of even the skinniest stars in Tinseltown.
Cellulite, which is commonly considered as the great equalizer in beauty and glamour, is a skin problem that plagues both the famous and the commoners like us. Even those who are as skinny as Paris Hilton and Kate Moss are not spared from subcutaneous fatty deposit. The only difference, however, is that the rich and famous can usually get rid of the cottage cheese appearance on the skin in just a few weeks with the help of ultra-expensive treatments.
Here are some of the anti-cellulite procedures that some celebrities purportedly use to blast away the orange peel look on their buns and thighs:
Chug Down Plenty Of Water
Many believe that cellulite is caused by toxins and waste products that were not properly eliminated; hence, many celebrities actually claim to fight their cellulite just by drinking liters upon liters of water. According to Lynn Banfi, a fitness expert, you should drink at least 100 ounces of water daily to help get rid of this nasty problem that develops right under the skin.
Diet Plus Weight Training
A lot of people, including stars, try to get into crash diets to help them lose weight. Although these diet fads may be able to help them reduce their weight, such programs do nothing to help eliminate cellulite. In fact, they contribute to the worsening of the appearance of cellulite. If you think starving yourself to death will help give you flawless thighs, you are wrong.
If you want to lose weight and reduce the appearance of cellulite, it would be better if you eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, which contain nutrients, antioxidants and fiber that are important in boosting your metabolism, improving blood circulation and toxins elimination, and helping restore and rebuild your cells. Furthermore, toning up your muscles through exercise and weight training will not only help you shed the excess pound, they also help in lessening the cottage-cheese-look of your skin.
Fat Dissolving Treatment
Rumors have been spreading that singing sensation Mariah Carey and pop princess Britney Spears are among the many stars that have undergone fat-dissolving treatments to blast away their cellulite problems. Although celebrities keep on denying that they are indeed undergoing such treatments, their before-and-after photographs are proof enough to claim that whatever they are doing seem to work really well against cellulite. Lately, both Mariah Carey and Britney Spears seem to be sporting leaner and more flawlessly looking buns and thighs.
Carbon Dioxide Therapy
One new procedure that gets rid of both cellulite and stretch marks and is gaining popularity in Hollywood is carbon dioxide therapy, or carboxytherapy for short. This supposedly painless procedure entails the injection of a small amount of carbon dioxide gas on the surface of the skin.
According to proponents of this treatment, the injection of such gas on the skin's surface will promote better blood circulation that prevents the formation of cellulite and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and even dark circles under the eyes. One celebrity that is reported to have used this procedure to banish her cellulite woes away is Nicky Hilton, Paris' sister.
Anti-Cellulite Creams And Lotions
Aside from genetics, one of the most common reasons celebrities give when asked on why they do not have cellulite is the application or massaging of anti-cellulite creams or lotions. There are many such products available in the market and many people, including many famous individuals, swear to the efficacy of rubbing problem areas with creams containing cellulite-fighting ingredient. One anti-cellulite cream that is creating a buzz on the Internet is Celrase. If you want to know more about this product, visit http://www.celrase.com/.
