Fight The Flab

The world’s finest supermodels are just as likely to suffer as the girl who sits next to you at work but the fact still remains that cellulite is no fun at all. Caused by hormonal imbalances, sluggish digestion, stress and anxiety, poor diet and sudden weight gain or loss, it occurs when fatty tissue – particularly on the thighs and buttocks – refuses to lie flat but sits instead in lumpy bumpy pockets.

Body brushing in long smooth strokes towards the heart will help to boost circulation and improve the texture of the skin and you’ll certainly find that upping your intake of fresh food – particularly protein – as well as cutting back on sugar and ensuring you drink at least 1.5 litres of water each day will put you on the right track. But these things take time so if you’ll be reaching for the sarong rather than the itsy bitsy bikini this summer, its time to introduce some serious clout courtesy of the latest cellulite-busting products to hit the shelves.

Poetic Cosmetics, Fatgirlslim, £25

Bursting with caffeine, this super-strength gel-cream formula works to encourage lymphatic drainage from problem areas and when used over a two month period significantly reduces the thickness of adipose tissue. Simply slap it on twice a day.

Christian Dior, Plasticity Anti-Cellulite Corrective Gel, £31

The Body Shop, Body Brush, £7

Use this brush in long smooth strokes on dry skin to whisk away dead cells, stimulate circulation and improve texture to help keep cellulite at bay on thighs and buttocks. Treat yourself to a daily session for the best chance of soft, smooth, bump-free skin.

Philosophy Amazing Grace Firming Body Emulsion, £27

Unlike many other cellulite-busting products, this rich buttery formula is beautifully scented and also helps to hydrate and revitalise dry or mature skin. Although it works gently to smooth skin texture, it does so remarkably well.

Murad Firm and Tone Serum, £39.50

This award-winning product can reduce the appearance of cellulite by up to 69% while restoring elasticity, smoothing uneven areas of skin and improving firmness. The fact that it also minimizes imperfections such as stretch marks only serves to add an extra lashing of brownie points!
