8 Powerhouse Ingredients To Get Rid of Cellulite on Buttocks and Thighs

90% of us have cellulite. That’s the facts, but it come with questions. What causes cellulite, how does it form, and - probably the most often shouted from bathrooms everywhere - can I get rid of cellulite once I have it?

The good news? While it may not happen overnight, you can lessen the appearance of your cellulite in a laundry list of ways. Reducing your sugar intake, cutting back on any alcohol consumption, keeping blood flow moving with exercise, and reaching for products packed with ingredients proven to bust up fat cells and reduce the look of dimples.

Caffeine

Despite a long-touted myth that caffeine dehydrates the body and can lead to cellulite, in reality, it's one of the best ingredients to counteract it. Caffeine is known to boost blood flow and improve circulation, which helps break up the fat cells stored beneath our skin that eventually cause cellulite to surface.

When used in skincare products, it’s been tried and tested to help tighten skin and support its natural elasticity. The tighter our skin, the less prominent cellulite appears.

Sea Salt

Salt is a staple when it comes to detoxifcation, and a deep detox is imperative in reducing the appearance of cellulite. As a natural exfoliator, sea salt directly removes dead skin cells and residue from skin, especially when used in body scrubs, to help smooth the skin and dampen the definition of dimples and stretch marks. 

Kaolin Clay 

Jam-packed with the nutrients that smooth, supple skin needs, kaolin clay releases necessary minerals and fresh oxygen into the skin, particularly when its used in lotions and scrubs. The clay works in dual action to both eliminate toxin buildup that can drastically amplify the definition of dimples, and elevates the elasticity of your dermal weave to keep skin tight and taut so cellulite can’t surface.

Hyaluronic Acid

An ingredient that our body already naturally produces, hyaluronic acid has long been lauded as the master of hydration for skin. Proven to help moisture retention and supplement collagen production, we see it used in a slew of serums and scrubs to help reduce wrinkles and lines. But with its hyper-hydrating and elasticity-elevating powers, hyaluronic acid is a home run when you're looking to cut down on cellulite.

Rooibos Tea

The superhero of soothing, the crusader of circulation, and the defender of the detox - rooibos tea is an often overlooked but always effective ingredient to look for in your cellulite treatments. Packed with anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, extract of this transformative tea can reduce toxin load thats lingering in skin layers, as well as soothe redness and even skin tone, contributing to lessening the look of dimples.

Pink Pepperslim

A concentrated oil pulled from active pink berries, Pink Pepperslim is as effective against cellulite as it is fun to say. The should-be-famous fat-burning agent focuses on breaking down the excess fatty acids our body stores in fat cells - you know, the ones hanging out below the surface waiting to become the dimples you're trying to detonate.

Raspberry Ketone

Taken directly from the antioxidant-rich raspberry fruit, raspberry ketones are known for decreasing sugar content in the blood, as well as boosting the metabolism and kicking circulation into high gear to expedite how quickly your body is burning fat. Because that means busting up the very fat cells that ultimately lead to cellulite, this powerhouse extract means business when it comes to breaking down dimples.

Poppy Seed Extract

At the end of the day, despite how it occurs and what causes it to form, cellulite is a ripple-like effect on the skin that shows up as little uneven lumps on our belly, butt and thighs. So while we've got to get to the bottom of it, we also have to focus on smoothing and tightening our skin on the surface. Poppy seed extract is proven to elevate elasticity and microcirculation in the skin, helping it to visibly smooth and slenderize. By helping skin stay taut and smooth, we can greatly reduce the physical appearance of those pesky puckers on your backside.
