Cellulite is a cosmetic problem. Having cellulite doesn’t mean you have health issues. Many women are concerned about their cellulite and thus have low self-esteem. Cellulite is not fat. It’s a lumpy skin that occurs when fatty tissue pushes through the fibrous bands that attach the skin to the muscle. The mechanism of the development of cellulite is still unclear, but certain factors like sex, genetics, and lifestyle might increase your chances of having cellulite. 

But why is cellulite mostly a female problem? This is due to the way female bodies store fat. Women have fat in thighs that are stored in little columns that look like an old mattress. In the male bodies, the bands that hold connective tissue in place are arranged in a “zigzag pattern, according to a study in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology.

If you want to fix this problem, try these good tips that might help you get rid of “orange-peel” skin:

1. Take omega-3 fatty acids

There is a theory that eating the wrong fats can cause an imbalance of the fatty acids in your body that are needed for smooth skin and tissue. Getting enough omega-3 fatty acids as well as fat-soluble vitamins like D, E, K, and A might help reduce or even eliminate cellulite over time. Try taking omega-3 fatty acids and monitor your skin.  If omega-3s don’t help with cellulite, they can improve your overall health. 

2. Consume gelatin

Gelatin is a mixture of proteins, and peptides produced by cooking collagen that supports bone, joint, skin, and organ function. Many people don’t get enough collagen and thus have dull and dry skin and experience hair loss and poor nail growth. 

Here are the main benefits of gelatin: 

• It can help tighten loose skin 
• It can improve digestion 
• It supports hair, skin, nail health 
• It’s a good source of protein 
• It might improve cellulite
• It can provide with a dietary collagen 
• It’s good for bones and joints 

3. Balance your hormones

Hormones may also play a big role in the development of cellulite. This is a possible reason why women usually develop it and men don’t. Treating your hormone imbalances can help reduce or even eliminate cellulite.

4. Try ozone therapy

Ozone therapy can do wonders for your health. In addition to breaking down cellulite, the procedure can improve your immune system and decrease overall inflammation. Ozone therapy uses ozone to improve your body’s use of oxygen. This is an effective way to revitalize the body with ozone and restore your natural chemical balance.     

5. Eat more protein-rich foods

Eating more protein will help your body produce collagen and elastin more efficiently. Protein also helps strengthen your muscles and thus keep fat stores in the place. The best sources of dietary protein include eggs, almonds, chicken breast, oats, cottage cheese, milk, greek yogurt, and broccoli. You can also try protein supplements such as whey protein, egg protein, soy protein, and mixed plant protein.

6. Try cellulaze 

Cellulaze is a procedure that involves a small laser tube that’s inserted under the skin. This laser heats up to decrease lumpy pockets of fat, then cuts through the fiber bands that pull the skin and cause dimples. Then, the laser heats the skin to trigger collagen production leading to improved thickness and elasticity. 

If you don’t know what to start with, talk to your dermatologist, or cosmetologist. They will decide which option is best for your skin. There are so many ways to get rid of cellulite., Stop worrying and try various options.
