You can get stretch marks and cellulite no matter how old you are or how much you weigh. According to dermatologist Ranella Hirsch, M.D., cellulite will not necessarily disappear if you lose weight. "Marie Claire" notes that stretch marks occur during pregnancy or growth spurts, when your skin's connective tissues become overstretched. Certain products can help reduce the appearance of these skin woes, allowing you to achieve smoother, more even-toned skin.
Avon Anew Clinical Professional Cellulite Treatment
To tighten skin temporarily and reduce the appearance of cellulite, "Cosmopolitan" recommends using Avon Anew Clinical Professional Cellulite Treatment. The magazine notes that this product contains a polymer designed to firm your skin as it dries. It promises to lessen the depth of puckering or lumpy skin, as well as make any unevenness look less noticeable. This treatment contains two products: a cream to penetrate into your skin and make it stronger and firmer, and a gel to tighten skin and enhance the cream's efficacy. The company notes that this product is particularly effective on cellulite that appears on your legs.
Elizabeth Arden Prevage Body Anti-Aging Moisturizer
"Allure" states that applying a cream that contains peptides or retinol at night can increase the rate at which your skin produces collagen. This will help both to fill in areas of dimpling and to refine and even out your skin's texture, making it ideal for treating both stretch marks and cellulite. The magazine recommends applying Elizabeth Arden Prevage Body Anti-Aging Moisturizer, which contains peptides and idebenone, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce signs of skin aging. This moisturizer promises to moisturize and even-out your skin, as well as help firm it from the inside out. The company notes that 85 percent of people who applied this product during a consumer test noted a lessening in the appearance of their stretch marks and cellulite.
Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Fast Acting Serum
Products containing amino acids can also help firm skin, according to "Cosmopolitan." The magazine recommends Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Fast Acting Serum, which promises to absorb quickly into your skin to begin giving you the product's benefits upon application. The company notes that this serum contains a highly concentrated blend of ingredients, such as lotus extract and l-carnitine, and claims that if you apply the product daily, your cellulite may become less noticeable in as few as 10 days. According to Nivea, in a test conducted on 184 women, 71 percent of those who used this product claimed to have less noticeable cellulite, and 86 percent noted that the serum enhanced the overall appearance of their skin.
