5 Morning Rituals to Reduce Cellulite

Summer is the time of year when we want to slip into our favorite shorts and swimsuits, but sometimes cellulite can make that difficult. We will do anything to hide those unwanted bumps by covering up when we want to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. Luckily, you’re in good company! Nearly 90% of women struggle with fat cells underneath their top layer of skin. So what can we do to look and feel better?

Here are five morning rituals to reduce cellulite in time for summer:

Drink lemon water. Get a jump start on your day and your digestive system with a glass of lemon water. Simply squeeze fresh organic lemons into some hot water and sip it slowly. Preventing cellulite starts with your body’s ability to break down food, and lemon water will help do exactly that!

Exercise. It’s not an easy habit to get into, but once you start it won’t be easy to go back! Spend time in the morning building up muscle beneath cellulite to help break it up and keep your skin looking more firm. You’ll want to target the back of your thighs, so try lunge kicks to tighten hamstrings .

Dry brush before showering. Before hopping in the shower, make it a daily habit to dry brush your body. Use a dry loofah or another brush to scrub from head to toe for improved blood circulation. This ultimately releases toxins from your body, which reduces the appearance of pesky cellulite.

Eat a cellulite-unfriendly breakfast. Fight off cellulite with your first meal of the day! While there are breakfast foods that will increase the amount of cellulite in your body, there are also foods that will help get rid of it, but only if you eat them consistently! Stick to fresh berries, grains, coconut oil, or other foods with “medium chain fatty acids”  to help break down fat cells.

Take bottled water on the go. Staying hydrated is an essential part of reducing cellulite. You’ve started your morning with hot lemon water, but don’t stop there! Keep hydrated all day long to keep skin looking smooth. Take water on the go to ensure you’re getting plenty of fluids throughout the day.

Achieving a Non-Surgical Facelift with Thermage

Wondering how you can get more collagen back to keep your face looking young again? Thermage may be the answer! No surgery necessary - this clinically proven technology is designed to naturally stimulate your own collagen production.

Thermage is the only FDA approved technology that tightens the skin around the eyes and lasts for years (depending on your skin condition and age). Whether you’re male, female, you have light skin or dark skin, Thermage is the ultimate non-surgical facelifting procedure. One of the greatest benefits to this non-surgical treatment is that there is “no down-time”. Come in for an appointment during your lunch hour and return to work afterwards without anyone knowing you had a procedure done. How cool is that!

Do you want skin tightening around the eye area? While Thermage does not treat this area, other non-invasive, FDA approved procedures like Ultherapy can help. Dr. Nicole Patel at Radiance Medspa explains the effects of combining these two treatments together. "We are in a unique position to be able to combine these two treatments to give our patients optimal results for overall skin lifting and tightening. For example, since Ultherapy cannot be performed on the eyelids, we do Thermage Eyes and a brow-lift with Ultherapy.” Look no further than Radiance Medspa in Wheaton to help you achieve lasting results! 

Not sure if Thermage is right for you? That’s why we’re here. We offer a personalized approach to skincare because we believe that everyone's skin is unique. Schedule your free consultation here and receive $50 off your initial Radiance Treatment Package.
