Cellulite is one of the most common problems that affects 8 out of 10 women, causing stagnation of subcutaneous fluids, fat deposits and the classic " orange peel " skin. There are many natural remedies to combat it and have more toned and compact skin.

What is cellulite?
Cellulite is an alteration of the subcutaneous adipose connective tissue that manifests itself with the appearance of dimples and nodules on the skin, giving it an "orange peel" appearance.Cellulite arises from an alteration of the circulatory system at the capillary level. The capillaries, small blood vessels, lose tone and permeability, allowing the water contained in the blood to escape and accumulate in the adipose tissues.
This trapped water "swells" the fat cells, creating the "orange peel" effect typical of cellulite. Unfortunately, this fluid-rich fat cannot be used by the body as a source of energy, and therefore tends to accumulate persistently at the subcutaneous level.
Chronic fluid accumulation triggers chronic inflammation of fat cells. Inflammation, in turn, stimulates collagen production, which becomes disorganized between the skin and muscle, resulting in the characteristic "mattress" appearance typical of advanced cellulite.
Although often non-invasive and limited to a simple blemish, cellulite can evolve into a real disease, with consequences on blood and lymphatic circulation.
Natural Anti-Cellulite Remedies
Cellulite has no definitive cure, but it can be effectively fought by adopting a healthy lifestyle and resorting to natural remedies and specific treatments.
To fight cellulite, it is not necessary to radically change your lifestyle, just a few simple daily measures to be applied consistently are enough to see the first improvements.
- Diet: In Europe we consume an average of 7 g of salt per day, while our real requirement is about 3 g. Excess salt is retained by the tissues and promotes fluid retention. Let's pay particular attention to the hidden salt found in cured meats, cheeses and many ready-made foods.
- Fruits and Vegetables: Nature is our best ally to strengthen blood vessels and help microcirculation. Berries and blueberries are rich in flavonoids that make capillaries more toned and elastic, while pineapple contains bromelain that stimulates the drainage of liquids.
- Regular physical activity : At least 30 minutes of exercise a day to improve circulation and burn fat.
- Anti-cellulite creams and gels: Regularly apply products based on caffeine, algae extracts and centella asiatica to improve skin elasticity.
- Draining massages : Stimulate circulation and reduce water retention.
- Professional treatments : In more severe cases, liposuction, radiofrequency or carboxytherapy may be useful.
Pampered
According to a recent study published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology, stress can cause an increase in cellulite due to increased cortisol levels. Make time for relaxation every day, perhaps taking advantage of it with a nice spa treatment !
The ideal would be the Yuniwa Cosmetics Salt Wrap , a professional treatment that allows you to bring the effectiveness of the SPA to the comfort of your home. These are bandages soaked in a draining serum, based on Dead Sea Salts, Horse Chestnut, Caffeine, Lemon and Rosemary essential oils that combat fluid retention and tone the skin .
Specific Treatment
You can use a draining cream, with active ingredients designed to stimulate and promote skin microcirculation. This is the case, for example, of the Yuniwa Cosmetics lipolytic draining anti-cellulite cream , which thanks to its special active ingredients such as Drosera, Ananas, Birch, Centella, Troxerutin and Bakuchiol, not only combats fluid retention, cellulite and localized fat deposits, but can also be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding or if you are subject to thyroid diseases . In any case, always ask your doctor for advice.
Once you have chosen the perfect cream for you, apply it consistently morning and evening for the first three weeks for a shock action, then moving up to a single daily application as a maintenance treatment. Apply the cream to clean skin, massaging it into the body with circular movements starting from the ankles and moving up the legs to reach the thighs and buttocks. The massage promotes the absorption of the active ingredients and further stimulates microcirculation.
If you prefer a treatment that is quicker to apply and absorb, that does not weigh down the skin and is absorbed with a light massage, I recommend trying the Yuniwa Cosmetics Algae Remodeling Gel , with Algae and Essential Oils, which combats liquid stagnation and smoothes the skin, offering excellent help in the fight against cellulite, investing little time and effort in applying the treatment.
Physical activity
Physical activity is essential to reduce excess fat. The ideal is prolonged activity, since the muscle begins to burn fat after 40 minutes of continuous activity. So go for a light jog, long walks or bike rides that will tone our legs and help us be more serene.
If you go to the gym, choose aerobic exercises, which, according to a report in the Journal of Obesity, have been shown to be the most effective in reducing subcutaneous fat. Instead, avoid exercises with sudden stops of the legs, such as jumping rope, since they cause sudden thrusts and stops of blood that are not ideal for treating cellulite.
Clothing
Tight jeans and high heels create pressure areas that block circulation, promoting fluid retention. Choose comfortable clothing that follows your body without constricting it and opt for comfortable shoes, with a heel no higher than 6 cm. Your legs and back will thank you!
