I'm only 17 and I'm 5'5'' at about 120lbs. I can't really tell if what I have on my inner thighs is cellulite or stretch marks but I'll assume it's cellulite. Either way, I don't want it. Ugh. Is there any precautions I can take to reduce cellulite already on my body (exercises or anything)? Also, what can I do to make sure I get as little as possible in my future?
A: First, you can check here do you have stretch marks or cellulite.
There's also advices for preventing and losing stretch marks and cellulite.
For reducing cellulite I recommend you to do these things:
- Walk, swim, run, dance...
- Exercise at least half an hour a day
- Drink lots of water - improves blood circulation, makes cellulite less visible
- Eat health food
- Brush and massage - also makes cellulite less visible, helps removing it, boosts circulation and skin looks healthier
- Moisturize your skin
- Take cold showers
- Relax - stress could also cause cellulite accumulation
And avoid these things:
- Junk food - it has "bad" calories (your body is not able to use them up, instead it stores them in form of fat, and fat becomes cellulite if pushed away from cells)
- Alcohol, cigarettes - generally they're very bad for your skin tone, and improve the appearance of cellulite. Alcohol also dehydrates your body.
- Physical inactivity - less physically active you are more calories don't end up burned but stored. Also inactivity makes your circulation worse, and so cellulite can form more easily.
- Tight clothes - those are not good for your blood and lymph circulation, so avoid them if possible.
