What Causes Cellulite?
In the past decade, there has been extensive research to clarify the possible causes of cellulite, and many agree on the following points:
-fat cells swell due to fat storage
-capillary walls become excessively permeable causing localized accumulation of fluid
-inadequate lymphatic drainage slows the removal of excess fluid
-fat cells cluster and are bound by collagen fibers
-connective tissue strands stiffen, pulling down on their anchor points
-the changes in blood flow, lymphatic drainage, fat, and connective tissue result in cellulite-a bumpy or dimpled appearance on the skin
How to treat cellulite
Unfortunately, there is no cure for cellulite, but you can take measures to improve its (and your) appearance.
Prep/Cleanse
Our newest addition to the fatgirl-family is fatgirlscrub, a skin-smoothing, circulation-stimuating body exfoliator for less-than-perfect parts. Formulated with:
Himalayan pink salt that exfoliates for a smoother skin surface and helps re-mineralize skin, balance skin moisture levels, improve circulation to improve skin repair vitality, enhance penetration of cellulite treatments and detoxify skin surface.
Red Algae: clinically demonstrated to increase circulation to enhance skin repair functions and help diminish the appearance of excess fluid retention
Grapefruit Extract: provides antioxdant protection and refreshes the skin
Peppermint Extract: refreshes,invigorates and cools skin surface
Treat
We make the best cellulite creams! Our cellulite creams target the main causes of cellultie. FatGirlSlim targets cellulite with encapsulated caffeine to diminish the water retention that makes cellulite look even worse and fatgirlsleep tagets cellulite with lavender and sacred lotus flower extract which helps you snooze while you lose!
Camouflage
Everything looks better with a tan, but harmful UV rays? I don’t think so! My best cellulite secret – self tanner!! Spray the ultra-fine mist of my favorite self tanner, A Tan For All Seasons (not smelly, not streaky, not orange, dries fast – amazing – yes, I just sang that last word!) from waist to ankles for a toasty bronze, yet natural, goddess glow. Watch all those flaws that reveal themselves on doughy fluorescent winter white skin blur and disappear with a touch of tan!
Bliss Kisses!
