Cellulite can plague both men and women on areas like the abdomen, arms and thighs. Fat deposits that rest underneath the skin's surface cause the orange peel or dimpling appearance. Coenzyme Q10 is produced by the body to aid cell function. Cellulite creams containing Q10 claim to minimize dimpling and give your skin a smoother appearance. Combining a Q10 lotion with a diet and exercise program will increase its results.
Step 1
Exfoliate the skin daily. Use a scrub or exfoliating glove to massage skin and increase circulation to help break up the fat deposits causing the dimpled appearance. Exfoliating also helps remove dead skin cells to produce new cells and help the skin absorb the lotion.
Step 2
Find cellulite lotions or creams containing Q10. Look for products that contain antioxidants like vitamin A, C, and E, which improve skin's elasticity.
Step 3
Apply cellulite cream or lotion to problem areas. Rub in the Q10 product using circular motions until it is completely absorbed into the skin. Use cellulite lotion in the morning and at night.
Step 4
Eat a healthy diet. Prepare your meals with foods that are in their most natural form. Eat foods like whole grains, vegetables, lean meats, eggs, fish, low-fat dairy products and healthy fats like olive oil, nuts and seeds. Avoid high-sodium processed foods like frozen dinners, pre-seasoned foods and potato chips that cause weight gain and can increase the appearance of cellulite.
Step 5
Do cardiovascular exercise five days per week to burn fat. Take a walk, ride a stationary bike, step on the stair master or glide on an elliptical machine for 30 minutes.
