Cellulite is normal and natural (it actually affects more than 90% of women, to a mild, moderate and severe degree, at some point in their lives) but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate it! Cellulite can have several causes - hormonal origin, genetics, stress, poor circulation or less healthy lifestyle habits - and as we know, it can lower our self-esteem, making us feel less comfortable, less beautiful or less attractive.

Although we are advocates of feeling good in our own skin, embracing what makes us unique and special, we are also advocates of the freedom to be able to improve the aspects we don't feel so good about. For us, both are a form of self-love — and the important thing is that they always come from this place of esteem for ourselves!

In this article we will share with you five tips to help reduce cellulite at home and feel (even) better in your skin!

Stimulate the lymphatic system

One of the best ways to stimulate the lymphatic system is to dry brush your skin. In addition to being super pleasant, it is a great detox routine. For this, nothing better than our Body Brush with Handle . It's one of our favorite must-haves and it's no coincidence. Its natural and super soft bristles allow you to dry brush your skin, being the precursors of a wonderful beauty, exfoliation and detox ritual.

In addition to leaving skin softer and more toned by removing dead cells, dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system , boosting the natural process of releasing toxins and helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Exfoliate the skin

It's no secret that exfoliation brings countless benefits to our skin. When we exfoliate our body once or twice a week, our skin feels much healthier and more hydrated — and when it comes to cellulite, there is no better ally than our Awakening Exfoliant .

Enriched with coffee and kakadu plum, this exfoliant super rich in vitamin C brightens the skin, combats cellulite and reduces pigmentation , while promoting regeneration and collagen production for a firmer, more toned and radiant appearance.

Moisturize and massage

Although the factors that cause cellulite are not solely related to the skin, when it is less strengthened, poorly nourished, dry or dehydrated, the well-known “orange peel” appearance becomes even more noticeable. It was with this in mind that we created our Firme Kit , incredible for softening, smoothing, toning, sculpting and draining the skin. This Kit consists of Firm Slimming Oil and Body Gua Sha . The oil has a 100% natural formula with biological ingredients and reducing properties to deeply hydrate and activate circulation, while gua sha massages the skin and helps the oil penetrate deeper layers. Together, these two products create a ritual that will completely transform your skin, helping to activate lymphatic drainage, eliminate fluid retention and toxins, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Another option that combines body oil and massage tool is our Body Revitalize Kit , which includes the revitalize oil and a jade gua-sha mushroom. With Squalane (to reinforce hydration and elasticity), grapefruit essential oil (a boost of vitamin C) and galangal essential oil, the revitalizing oil is perfect for a revitalizing and draining massage that will sculpt your body. For the full-body lift you're looking for, use it in conjunction with a gua-sha mushroom to promote lymphatic drainage, relieve tension and leave skin softer, more even and toned.

Practice physical exercise and maintain a balanced diet

Our daily habits are (very) important factors in the appearance of cellulite, and practicing the healthiest lifestyle possible is essential to help reduce its appearance.

In addition to physical exercise, especially activities such as running, yoga, HIIT or strength training, maintaining a balanced diet is also essential for reducing cellulite . Foods high in sugar, salt and fat, as well as foods that are too salty, can inflame tissues and not only contribute to the appearance of cellulite, but also make it more pronounced. Our suggestion? Choose a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and try to increase your intake of foods rich in fiber, magnesium (linseeds, whole grains and nuts), and potassium (legumes and fruit and vegetables).

Drink a lot of water

Fact: moisturizing from the inside is just as important as moisturizing from the outside! Without water, our skin becomes weaker, thinner and more wrinkled, making cellulite more visible.

Drinking plenty of water (really a lot!) is essential to reveal our beauty and support our health, and it is also an important step to increase skin elasticity and help reduce cellulite, because water actually helps our body to "disintegrate" fats. For this, there is nothing better than always having your Thermal Bottle nearby, so that you never forget to drink water throughout the day!
