For most people, removing cellulite can be very difficult. It can be especially frustrating for women who have lost 10 to 20 pounds or more of weight, only to find that their cellulite is preventing them from having the "perfect" figure. A lot of women find their cellulite to be an embarrassing feature, and usually wear clothes that hide parts of their body where the cellulite is most prominent.

Some women may also have cellulite covering more than just their thighs or butt. Cellulite also may be visible on their stomach, belly or upper arms. Cellulite typically exists in places where there are significant fat deposits. But cellulite can exist even on the bodies of people who are not overweight. Removing cellulite is not just a problem for overweight people: it can affect anyone of any size.

There are many different causes of cellulite: diet, weight and genetics being the most prominent. Cellulite is made up of fat cells that rest beneath the connective tissue. Unfortunately, as many people experience, just losing weight and building muscle will not be enough, typically, to completely eliminate cellulite for good. Read on to learn more about removing cellulite.

There are many ways in which you can remove cellulite, but some methods are less effective than others. One of the most common ways to treat cellulite is with a moisturizer or a cellulite remover cream. These creams and moisturizers may vary in their effectiveness. Some people may find success with them, whereas others will not get rid of cellulite at all in some women.

Another tip for removing cellulite, if you are overweight, is to lose weight. While exercise and building muscle may not always get rid of cellulite completely, it can make considerable difference in some people. Usually it's recommended, if you have cellulite and are overweight, that you lose weight first and then, if necessary, follow up on any further anti-cellulite treatment.

Most people will find that changing their diet to an anti-cellulite diet will go a long way in removing cellulite. These diets usually consist of foods containing antioxidants and other nutrients that help to cleanse the body of toxins and extra fat. Oily fish and nuts, for example, are foods that are typically recommended for people wanting to get rid of cellulite permanently.

It is possible, too, to get surgery to remove cellulite. Typically the most common method is liposuction. Most people, however, unless they can easily afford it, or are desperate to find a lasting way to remove cellulite, will not resort to this. Liposuction can be expensive, and it certainly has its risks, but it can also be the most effective way to get rid of cellulite, at least temporarily.

There are many different ways to remove cellulite, but not every method will work great for all people. You may have to experiment to find which method works best for you. Removing cellulite can be difficult, but it is possible.
