What is cellulite?

Cellulite refers to the dimpled, or ‘lumpy’ skin that occurs when the fat deposits that sit underneath your skin push through the connective tissue and into the skin. There are a number of reasons for cellulite to occur, including poor circulation, decreasing collagen, a change or fluctuation in hormones, genetics,, lifestyle factors and diet.

Where does it usually appear?

It’s said that 80-90% of women will experience cellulite, with the thighs, buttocks, pelvic region and abdomen being the most common area for it to appear.

What does it look like?

Cellulite is most often likened to the appearance of an orange peel, in that the area of skin starts to develop lots of little ‘dimples’ and feels bumpy and uneven. Unfortunately for many women cellulite can also often come hand-in-hand with other issues such as stretch marks and fatty deposits.

Which cellulite treatments actually work?

Regular exercise is a great way to treat and prevent cellulite. It can be difficult to treat cellulite once it’s already formed, but working out regularly will help to make its appearance less obvious. But aside from exercise and healthy eating, there are a few topical options that can also make a big difference. Alpha Keri’s Slimfit range features four slimming serums and creams that are specifically designed to help slim, shape and reduce fat and cellulite from your body. But do they work? According to our members they do! Here’s what they have to sayabout the products…

Alpha Keri Body Slimfit Heat-Activating Slimming + Firming Serum

“I love this product as I apply it before a strength leg session, the heat helps activate the muscles, whilst also helping with the fatty tissue deposits around my bum, hips and thighs. This cream helps me feel the muscle contractions a lot stronger and also increase sweat in these areas of my body to help with lymphatic drainage and water retention.” - kimberley286

Beauty Editor’s tip - dry body brushing in conjunction with topical products

Not only is dry body brushing proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but it also helps to boost the lymphatic system and is a great exfoliator. In fact, lightly dry bodying brushing daily can also help to keep a faux tan even and prepare your skin for the next application.
