When you pinch your skin, do you see dimpling or rippling? If you do, what you are seeing is probably cellulite. This is an undesirable condition, but happily there are a number of things you can do about it.

The best way to take care of cellulite is the simplest - just get plenty of exercise and drink a lot of water. Reduce your caffeine and alcohol intake and eat a healthy, balanced diet. This will go farther than anything else you could try to eliminate cellulite.

There are many common over the counter medications which can cause or exacerbate cellulite problems. The worst offenders are diet pills, laxatives and diuretics ? taken on a regular basis, these pills can spell cellulite.

Your first thought, as far as cellulite treatment, is probably to pick up a cellulite reducing cream at the pharmacy, right? The problem is that most of those creams are only temporary fixes. You have to keep constantly smearing them on your cellulite. That can get frustrating, as well as expensive! So, be prepared for the time and costs involved.

If you use creams, you might choose to use a cellulite cream that contains aminophylline, since it causes fat cells to convert to fatty acids. The fatty acids go right back into your bloodstream, so your cellulite should be reduced. Just be sure to keep such creams out of extreme heat and be aware that many believe these types of harsh chemicals should not be used at all. You'll need to make that decision for yourself.

Glycolic acid and lactic acid both can help to remove dead skin cells faster. Taking off the top layer of dead skin can help your skin look better. Creams and lotions that have alpha hydroxy acids and retinols can also give your skin a healthier appearance. Such beauty salon techniques can work, but they can also be expensive.

In fact, many salons recommend that to treat cellulite, their customers make a habit of wearing pantyhose. Not everyone agrees with this method, but its adherents claim that the friction of the mesh fabric against the skin can stimulate circulation, helping to improve cellulite. If nothing else, hosiery can cover cellulite.

Getting a massage works for some. This will also improve the circulation in the skin and will improve its appearance, while it will not cure you cellulite problem on its own.

As you can see, there are a lot of different cellulite treatment options available. The best of these is still just to get plenty of exercise, drink lots of water and eat a healthy diet. Not only is this probably the most effective cellulite treatment, it is also good for your overall health and well-being.
