If your thighs, buttocks and nearby regions have a dimpled look, you may have cellulite. The University of Maryland Medical Center says it's caused by surface deposits of fat. The center reports that lifestyle changes can help diminish this skin condition, including increased exercise and a healthy diet focused on fresh vegetables and fruit. Additionally, several manufacturers offer creams designed to help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Anushka Skinny Caffé Latte Body Créme
The beauty editors of Shape magazine call Anushka's body-firming cream a "secret weapon" against cellulite. Dr. Francesca Fusco, a dermatologist reviewing the anti-cellulite treatment for the magazine, said it can help protect your skin's collagen for increased firmness. Beneficial ingredients include caffeine, seaweed extract and antioxidant-rich green tea, which is high in polyphenols.
Clarins Super Restorative Redefining Body Care
InStyle magazine gave Clarins' body firming cream top praise, naming it the best cellulite-treating cream. The magazine especially liked its use of caffeine, which may help to temporarily tighten and firm the surface of the skin, plus other skin-firming ingredients like hydrating emollients. Collagen-protecting, skin-nourishing additives include herbal extracts like crowberry, plus dimple-smoothing silicone.
Korres Black Tea and Verbena Anti Cellulite Cream Gel
Korres' natural cellulite treatment targets dimples and lack of skin firmness with a potent dose of caffeine. Self magazine ranked it as one of the best cellulite treatments available. Dr. Howard Sobel, a dermatologist reviewing the Korres product for the magazine, said such topical application of caffeine can help even out your skin's fluid retention for a smoother, less dimpled appearance. It's free of potentially irritating substances like mineral oil.
Clarins Body Lift Advanced Cellulite Control
Shape magazine suggests using Clarins' cellulite-controlling moisturizing to help eliminate the troubling skin condition. Like many cellulite products, it contains caffeine. For the best results, the magazine recommends massaging the cream into your skin to help stimulate circulation and fluid drainage. Emollients and humectants in the cream help add extra firming power by ensuring even hydration of your skin.
