So does anything actually work for celluite?

Any of those creams, etc?
I know a lot of people used to rave about the Goodbye Celluite by Nivea I think it was... but I can't help thinking that none of that stuff can really work, can it?

Does exercise even work?
Or is it just genetics?

I'm not liking the way the back of my thighs look...and summer is coming! Chat Icon

Something about the caffeien nit eh coffee grounds breaks up the surface of fat cells and smooths out the surface. Unfortunetely there is nothing that gets rid of it maybe excpet excersize. I've used the Nivea goodbye cellulite and it def appears to be a little less cellulite. I've also been told to drink tons and tons of water. I've researched this like crazy bc I hate my celly. Also it's genetic.

Yes I heard that it's genetic and it's also so much more common in women because of the way we store fat under the skin- women store it in a "beehive" pattern- hence the celluite look- where as men store it differently. (OF COURSE!) Chat Icon

And it doesn't matter if you are thin as can be- even at my thinnest when I was underweight I still had it...

Ughhhhhh!!!

Yup it's so true that even the skinniest of girls have it too. When I went to Jamaica last yr I was crazy working out at the gym bc my cellultie looked worse than ever and being at the pool there even the skinny girls with nice bodies had it too, so I felt betterChat Icon

ITA with the coffee grinds. I learned this from a friend of mine who was working with a magazine photo shoot. She said the folks that were primping up the models were also putting coffee grinds all over their butts and thighs to diminsh the appearance of cellulite.

Bliss has a product that uses caffeine as well. It's called Fat Girl Slim.

I'm considering trying the Nivea Goodbye Cellulite serum. On Makeupalley it got much better than the original lotion form. It's just temporary though-- they say the cellulite appearance comes back once you stop using the product regularly. But it would be nice even temporarily during bathing suit season, lol.

Bliss' Fat Girl Slim works. I used it right before my honeymoon. You have to use it as directed tho, I sware if you skip, you can see it come back. No joke.

I bought the AM and PM ones.

Exercise and diet. No easy way around it.

Can also try using a body brush to help with the circulation in the area you have it.

I heard it is also related to toxins in your body and that using a sauna regularly can help. Not sure about that though..
