About "Our Best Friend" Cellulite

Women have always been quite self-conscious about their body image, haven't they? In addition to our natural predilection towards self-conservation and our time-consuming preoccupation with general well-being, we have to "squeeze in" worrying about cellulite in our daily schedules. The cellulite phenomenon,
which damages the confidence of almost 90% of women worldwide, has created so much hysteria that normal-weighing girls are scared to wear white pants or tight skirts because of it. "What if someone may get a glimpse of my unaesthetic dimples?" Sad but true - most of us have been there.

In order to counter cellulite, you have to understand that you're not the only one struggling to win this battle. The media has made a monster out of an affliction which touches even newborns. Normal women who aren't fitness lovers don't really have a chance against it. What's important is how we get rid of it.

There are four stages of cellulite, each requiring a different treatment. What they all have in common, however, is the fact that you have to change your lifestyle if you want a beautiful body (e.g. eat healthier, exercise once in a while, etc.).

1. Stage I: you can notice the cellulite only if you squeeze the skin between your fingers. Treating stage I cellulite is particularly simple: all you need to do is eat healthier and attend anti-cellulite massage sessions.

2. Stage II: cellulite is visible when you cross your legs and horizontal "strips" above your knees or on the back of your legs without forcing the skin.

3. Stage III: The dimpled aspect of your skin becomes very visible on your abs, on the inside of your arms and on your buttocks. The cellulite is quite severe.

4. Stage IV: Affected areas become painful and over time the skin may start to look severely damaged. Stage IV is considered to be untreatable.

In order to properly get rid of it, you also have to know what kind of cellulite you have. Thus, there are:

Soft cellulite,
 commonly encountered at obese individuals and sedentary people. The skin has a flabby look to it and the cellulite is visible when walking. Soft cellulite can be treated with exercises and anti-cellulite creams.

Hard cellulite,
 which can be quite difficult to remove, as the affected ares become painful when massaged. Mesotherapy should be considered when looking for solutions, and another good option is Parafango wrapping.

Edematous cellulite
  is quite uncommon and difficult to treat. A combination of massages, body wraps and cosmetic creams can, however, prove to be very effective.

Looking beautiful is strongly related with how well you take care of yourself. If you are determined and motivated, you will definitely lose the cellulite. Good luck!
