Nowadays, women are bombarded by information on how to achieve great-looking skin without cellulite. Products such as collagen, biotin, vitamin C, and Gotu Kola are hailed as the ‘Must Have’ products for healthy skin. Many women are willing to try almost anything to get rid of cellulite while maintaining healthy skin. With so many offers on the market, one must ask themselves if these miracle products can help reduce the appearance of cellulite alongside skin health. Let's look at a few.
Collagen is a protein in the body that maintains healthy bones, muscle, skin, nails, and hair. It also aids in helping your blood to clot. There are 16 types of collagen, and each one serves a vital role in the body. Here we only look at the central 4:
The older you get, the lower the quality and quantity your body produces. The most prominent physical feature of lack of collagen will occur in the skin. Too much sugar and sun can harm the development of collagen in the body. Smoking is also a culprit to watch out for. According to MotherKindCo, the benefits of collagen include:
Biotin is also known as vitamin H and helps the body convert food into energy. It helps keep your skin, hair, eyes, liver, and nervous system healthy. Biotin supplements should be taken with care as a biotin deficiency does not often occur due to it being quickly absorbed in food such as egg yolk, organ meat such as liver, nuts, and whole grains. Biotin can assist with improving skin, hair, and nail health as it acts as a helper for women who suffer from other deficiencies such as iron. It doesn't directly reduce the appearance of cellulite but can help with skin health.
Native to the Chinese, Indonesians, and Indians, Gotu Kola is a medicinal plant best known for its healing properties on the skin. Gotu Kola improves elasticity and thickens the skin while also providing the body with improved cognitive function and relaxation. This herb stimulates collagen synthesis and can provide anti-aging properties and promote skin health when combined with vitamin C.
Vitamin C is good for strengthening your skin and helps the body rebuild lost collagen. The vitamin also helps repair red blood cells and acts as an antioxidant, keeping your skin smooth. Besides oranges, red and green sweet peppers, kiwi, and strawberries, vitamin C supplements can also assist with iron absorption.
So, we’ve listed 4 natural supplements that help achieve great skin, which in some cases is synonymous with cellulite reduction. While all 4 can assist in achieving great skin, when it comes to treating cellulite, they only perform the bare minimum. And that’s where we come in. Our scientifically formulated formula helps tackle stubborn cellulite and adipose tissue, giving you the cellulite-free body, you deserve. As industry leaders, we are always looking for new ways to improve our products and the application process for our clients. We will also be launching a new massage oil that will make the gel's application and absorption even better.

Out with the flip-flops and in with the fur boots. The cold season greets us once again with subtle winds and leaves all over the garden. You may find yourself applying an extra layer of Vaseline on your lips because the change in seasons is overwhelming your lips. While many do not enjoy layering up due to the coldness, others look forward to hiding their bodies as they get their summer bodies underway. While cellulite may be shared pain by over 90% of women, there are 4 grades of cellulite that we must be aware of to carry out the correct treatment. For some, they grapple with grade 3 cellulite, while for others, it's grade 0. What do these all mean?
As explained by a cellulite expert, it is a progressive degeneration of the subcutaneous tissue. In other words, the fat deposits that are pushed down the skin’s layer accumulate over time. Depending on the lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, the various grades are listed below. Knowing one's cellulite grade can help determine the appropriate treatment and duration thereof. While cellulite cannot be eradicated entirely, there is no better time to reduce its appearance during the autumn and winter season. So that when the warmer months come around, your body will be summer-ready for all those leg revealing dresses you’ve been saving for your best days.
Cellulite Grades
Grade 0: This cellulite is invisible to the naked eye.
Grade 1: Skin is smooth and flat when standing but gives the appearance of a textured orange peel when squeezed. Poor blood circulation or lymphatic drainage leads to a weakened subcutaneous layer of the skin. This leads to captured waste under the skin cells and connective tissues, resulting in cellulite.
Grade 2: Here, cellulite is visible when standing. This happens when the fat tissues start to enlarge due to the build-up of lymphatic fluids. The result of this is the fat tissues is pushed against the skin and reduces the ability of the connective tissue to stretch. It’s good to know that the septae (or connective band) causes the indentation that we see in young skin. It has the ability to stretch but loses its ability over time.
Grade 3: This is an advanced stage where the cellulite is visible when lying down. Due to the stagnation of the lymphatic drainage, the cellulite becomes more challenging and thicker. The skin around it is cold—the lack of circulation results in more prominent cellulite that is harder to flush out.
This information is unknown sparse amongst the beauty community. Therefore, many women are not aware of their cellulite grade. This information is essential now. It assists with cellulite treatment, making it easier to manage by selecting a specially catered therapy for the stage.

As industry leaders in cellulite treatment, we’ve got you covered. We’ve heard the strangest stories of how women of all ages have spent large amounts of money trying to get rid of cellulite. Ours is to help with the reduction of your cellulite and impart knowledge that can help you save money and time. Let’s look at a few cellulite treatments and their effects on your body.
The mildly invasive cellulite treatment uses infrared light that heats up the skin and tissue under the skin’s exterior. While the procedure may be quick and safe, the results are short term driven. This results in many follow up sessions needing to be adhered to, resulting in more money being spent.
Liposuction can be beneficial for removing unwanted fat. Yet, there is little to no evidence that this new laser-assisted trend can help remove cellulite. However, liposuction can make the appearance of cellulite more aggressive in some women.
Also known as fat freezing, this is a non - invasive treatment that helps reduce fat by 25%. This may result in less cellulite. It should be cautioned, however, that this will not always be the case. In some cases, cellulite may appear more after the treatment. It may also take a few weeks or months for the treatment to be fully completed.
While it is no secret that cellulite is derived from the fat tissues under the skin. Losing weight if you are significantly overweight will impact the appearance of cellulite. We’ve mentioned before that slim built people also struggle with the appearance of cellulite, so it is not a full-proof solution but a good one to get started with.
Dry brushing, coffee scrubbing, cardio and strength training all form part of a holistic approach that helps tighten the skin around the cellulite-prone areas.
Dry brushing: Assists the body in the regular removal of metabolic wastes.
Coffee Scrub: Can help dilate blood vessels and reduce the appearance of skin dimples
Strength and cardio: Firming the muscle underneath the cellulite, assist in smoothing the skin's appearance.
These are plastics with lotion or herbs wrapped around the body to reduce the fat on your body in minutes. While this may be true, caution needs to be exercised. This could cause dehydration due to the tightness and heat generated from the plastic. The results are often temporary and create the illusion of decreased cellulite. If you struggle with hydration and kidney dysfunctions, this should be avoided.
Our Cellu.Lite gel tackles stubborn cellulite and adipose tissue. This makes cellulite reduction a walk in the park. Our unique blend of peptides, pure essential oils, caffeine and vitamin A help reduce accumulated fat cells, lymph drainage, blood circulation and water retention. We promote a holistic approach that encourages healthy eating and exercise to achieve the best cellulite reducing results.
Using the gel twice a day after bathing or showering works best. The cellulite massage cup can be used for 2-3 minutes on the affected areas alongside the gel as a lubricant. To target stubborn areas, rest the cup on one location for a few seconds.
]]>If you're reading this, that means you or someone close to you has cellulite – and that's okay. This cosmetic condition affects almost 90% of all women during their lives and is shared among all body types. Many cellulite myths are floating around, and we're here to debunk just a few. While reducing the appearance of cellulite requires a holistic approach, it can be achieved. It may take longer than others for many, and purely based on biological dynamics at play in our bodies. Let's look at some of the most common dynamics to see whether they are myths or not.
Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is more common in women. Women tend to have more fat than men – this fat gets distributed in the thighs, hips, and buttocks. The lack of connective tissue in women also makes it harder to keep it all in place. Hence the build-up happens.
"I got it from my momma"- in the instance of cellulite, that may be the case. Genetics can play a significant role in your cellulite's intensity - it can be worsened by genetics. According to Medical news, the genetic modification of cellulite can also be affected by, the speed of metabolism, fat distribution under the skin, ethnicity, and circulatory levels.
You would be surprised to know that slender built women get cellulite. As we have mentioned before, almost every woman will be a victim to the cosmetic condition. It can be said that cellulite does not discriminate according to weight. While overweight people might have more visible cellulite, the fat cells protruding into the skin layer.
Hormonal factors play a significant role in cellulite development. As a woman gets older, their estrogenic levels decrease. This leads to reduced blood of flow to the connective tissue. As blood flow lessens, less oxygen is circulated, resulting in lower collagen production. Collagen also plays a significant role in this as it strengthens the skin. Cellulite is known to damage the collagen bands of the skin. Taking collagen supplements may assist in repairing this by strengthening the connective tissues and skin.
While the gym tights might help reduce the jiggle during your cardio workout, it won't have any lasting effects on your cellulite. If anything, wearing tight undergarments might cut off the blood flow to your skin. This leads to an increase in the appearance of cellulite. Let your skin breath in comfortable-fitting clothes on a regular.
This is the least known fact about cellulite and affects a large portion of women. Smoking reduces blood vessel flow and damages collagen formation. As mentioned above, collagen helps strengthen the skin, so you might want to avoid anything that may compromise your collagen's building and health.
Other factors including water consumption, exercise, and diet, have an impact on the cellulite appearance. While these factors can only do so much, our Cellulite Gel has scientifically proven ingredients that assist with cellulite's appearance. Our holistic approach to cellulite treatment combines science with healthy eating, home-based exercise tips, and DIY treatment protocols such as connective tissue massage techniques.
