7 Home Remedies for Cellulite Reduction – Natural Solutions
Home Remedies
Although everyone should learn to love and appreciate their bodies, there is a reason the word ‘cellulite’ makes some people cringe. While it is partly genetic, the cottage cheese cellulite appearance could be the result of hormonal issues, diet, other lifestyle choices, and less talked about – toxins. Even some people with relatively no fat on them have cellulite lurking on their thighs or hips. While you could spend hundreds on the latest chemical-topical solution that may or may not do any good, you could also improve the condition of your skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite naturally, with food. And while reducing cellulite may not be super easy to achieve (especially in today’s ‘perfect body’ society), home remedies for cellulite reduction do exist.
An estimated 85% of adult women have cellulite, and despite it’s prevalence, we still have much to learn about the cosmetic issue. Cellulite is fat stored just under the skin’s surface. It has a unique appearance, like the dimpled surface of an orange peel or cottage cheese. It is most common in women and usually appears after puberty. For many people, it’s a source of extreme embarrassment.
Try some of these natural solutions to at least minimize the appearance.
1. Home Remedies for Cellulite Reduction – Remove Toxins
Your body is bombarded with toxins. Toxins accumulation comes from decades of exposure to packaged foods, refined sugars, chemicals, pesticides, pollutants inside and outside your home, pharmaceuticals – the list goes on. Needless to say, most people are in desperate need of a body-cleanse or toxin removal. But what does this have to do with cellulite?
The body stores toxins in fat to help minimize how much toxicity your vital organs are exposed to. The dimples and pockets of cellulite are also full of toxins. Toxicity accumulated in your body over the years will show in your cellulite (and a myriad of other unpleasant symptoms).
So what should you do for cellulite reduction? Simple: remove the toxins and prevent further build up of toxins. Here are 4 methods for how to cleanse your body. Search “detox” in the NaturalSociety search bar for many more simple tips.
2. Tomatoes and Tomato Paste
Tomatoes are extremely high in lycopene, which can prevent the breakdown of collagen in the skin. Dr. Oz reports that tomato paste is particularly rich in lycopene. But, if you opt for paste, look for one in a glass container or make your own to avoid the toxic BPA.
3. Coconut Oil and Dry Brushing
A very popular combination among home remedies for cellulite, dry skin brushing while moisturizing with (and ingesting) extra virgin coconut oil is a widely used solution. To dry skin brush correctly, start higher lymph node areas like the armpits/groin, then move to the outer regions. Always move towards the heart. except when dry skin brushing the buttocks area. Dry skin brushing is so effective because it tightens the epidermis and helps to breakup the toxic material cellulite is composed of.
One individual on EarthClinic shares her positive experience using coconut oil and dry skin brushing:
“Organic coconut oil and dry brushing which is very popular in Europe for circulation and for eliminating cellulite…My massuese mentioned to me you always brush in the direction of the lymphatic system so that it can circulate it out of the system quickly also increase you water intake before beginning the dry brush massage this help the system elminate toxin. For problem areas I used to spend at least ten minutes total and followed by a hot shower and I step out of the hot shower and while my pores are still open I put coconut oil all over my body and have noticed a dramatic decrease very close to eliminating all the cellulite. So it does work.”
4. Drink More Water for Cellulite Reduction
Hydration is crucial for overall health—from digestion to your skin’s healthy glow and texture. Being fully hydrated can smooth your skin’s surface. Try consuming foods with higher water content like melons, cucumbers, watermelon and leafy greens. Not only are these foods high in water content, but they are also low in calories – helping you to lose weight and control fat stores.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
Mix apple cider vinegar with 2 parts water and a bit of honey and rub on the areas needed, then rinse with warm water. It may not get rid of cellulite for good, but it should help reduce the appearance. Additionally, try making a body wrap: mix ACV and water in equal parts, and then rub it on the area. Afterward, wrap the areas in plastic wrap and a warm towel for 1 hour, then rinse. Other than being used for cellulite reduction, the benefits of apple cider vinegar are overwhelming – don’t skip this potential solution!
6. Ginkgo Biloba
This plant has been used medicinally for centuries. One of green tea’s many health benefits is in encouraging good circulation. Good circulation means healthier skin and a more uniform skin texture. Improving circulation will allow for a more effective transfer of stored fat from cellulite to muscle tissue, enabling it to be burned and used as energy.
7. Green Tea
Green tea can speed your metabolism and help you burn fat by stopping the production of fat-absorbing enzymes. But, catechins found in green and white teas can also reduce insulin resistance. Drinking three cups a day could increase energy expenditure and help you to burn an extra 80 calories in the next 24 hours. Try tea in the morning in place of coffee.

I never believe my cellulite problem would reduce with dermalmd cellulite serum but the results are amazing. After 15 days of use it, I have seen the incredible results. Definitely, Now I can wear my swimsuit with no shame.
Selecting a body brush is a personal choice, and it may take a bit of trial and error to find the best one for you. In general, it is recommended that you invest in a brush with natural bristles and a long handle that makes it easy to reach spots like your back.
VERY GOOD POST
I’ve tried a lot of cellulite treatments and Dermalmd Cellulite Cream works the best of all. It doesn’t get rid of cellulite completely, but it does make a HUGE difference in the appearance. Unfortunately the bottle is small and the product isn’t cheap, so if Although no product can completely get rid of cellulite, this is a great addition to a beauty arsenal because it temporarily firms and improves visual aspects of cellulite. My cellulite on the back of my thighs looked so much better after applying this. It is a must for when problem areas will be on show and the effect lasts for around four hours.
For cellulite reduction try to use Dermalmd cellulite cream it’s really great product. I tried it and it was very effective the product didn’t smell at all like some others have a really bad odor that I don’t like. But It really helped stain away the cellulite from my ass and my inner thighs that was showing the most. highly recommend.
Use a brush with natural bristles (as opposed to synthetic ones). You can find some that have detachable handles for reaching your back and any hard-to-reach places.
Dermalmd Cellulite Cream is Amazing stuff! I was VERY skeptical and dealt with cellulite for a long
time, but I was desperate and decided to give it a try! I was shocked
and so was my husband! I love this stuff!
I have also incorporated a lot of squats and leg/butt work outs also to help
I used DermalMD Cellulite Cream last year for about 5 months, it works great. You will see results within less than 2 weeks but it must be used 2x’s per day. I work in fitness industry so obviously I exercise frequently and eat well, even with all that some cellulite still makes its self known. I’m not gonna say that it gets rid of it 100% but it comes very close and is by far the best topical cream I have come across. I recommend using it with a cellulite brush daily as well for even better results. A little bit goes a long way especially if your skin is moist.
I used to suffer from cellulite on my legs for about 10 years so I can relate to people who experience it. No creams, products or laser treatments ever really did anything for me (trust me, i tried them all) but I was actually able to completely get rid of my cellulite naturally after my cousin told me how. I only had to do 2 things:
1. Drink atleast 1.5 litres of water everyday. Hydration is one of the main aspects (way more so than diet ever was)
2. Follow every step in the free video & in the guide seen at
solvehealthproblem*com/cellulite to get to the root of the problem.
Try those two steps and hopefully you will get as much luck with getting rid of your cellulite as i did. Another thing worth trying is apple cider vinegar which works short term but it tastes disgusting and you really need to prevent it from returning.

I was worried about my growing age and the loose skins so I was
suggested by my doctor to try DermalMD Cellulite Reduction Serum. I agreed since it is
clinically approved. Now my skin looks butter smooth and much younger.
I’m sure that South African ‘Rooibos tea’ can do the same as green tea. Rooibos is also high in antioxidants hypo allergenic and very good for your skin.
To get rid of cellulite Jogging or doing bycile can help. An exercise that would make you thighs move alot. Or you can buy cream for anti cellulite but it helps reduce only. You should focus on more healthy food such raw fruits and veggies. Or you can cook those and meats by vapor or in oven which is the best. It does not kill the food nutrients. Avoid junk food and fried meat.

great info, my wife just had our 3rd baby and she's looking for new treatments, she's getting tired from the creams she gets via cellulitelotiontoday.info
i do believe in the power of water and tea… it does not only detoxes our body it also hydrates us and the antioxidants in tea helps regenerate cells.
I've tried all these remedies. Cellulite comes with age,like wrinkles and gray hair. Men aren't plagued with it. Expect it even in thin women. Also in bike riders, swimmers that are older. If you are retired, on medicare, SS you will have it in some degree.
Yo-yo-ing between different weights also brings on cellulite more severely as it stretches the connective tissue in your skin.
Any particular type of brush to use or avoid?
green tea and ginkgo biloba are two different things. your article mentions ginkgo but the description goes on to talk about green tea.
