Seasons and Cellulite

As cooler weather approaches, many people are thankful that they can wear more clothing to conceal their cellulite.  But we all know that warmer weather is not that far away, and the cellulite will still be there unless action is taken.

Can the seasons have an impact on cellulite? Many adults go through some degree of body change as the seasons change.  During spring some may drop some weight and in the summer even more weight as people are more active.  When autumn and winter come some people may add some weight as their bodies “prepare for cold weather” or because of holidays and less physical activity.

Your skin can change with the weather also.  Skin can become drier or it can have less elasticity and appear to sag more. 

How Cellulite  Affects a victim across seasons

Cellulite thrives on all of these factors.  Adding or losing weight combined with negative factors on skin can help cellulite to become even more prevalent. 

Prepare your body for the season changes and reduce cellulite by taking the proper precautions:

•  Eat healthier and drink plenty of water – work on a reasonable diet that balances your nutrition and helps to hydrate your body including your skin
• Exercise – even in colder weather you should continue some form of exercise regimen.  By keeping your muscles toned and minimizing fat storage you can help to reduce cellulite
• Care for your skin – keep your skin clean and avoid harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures if at all possible.  Heating systems can dry your skin even more, so it is crucial to keep your skin healthy
• Cellulite treatment – find a cellulite treatment that is effective in fighting cellulite on the surface of the skin as well as beneath the skin.  The treatment should include moisturizers as well as active ingredients like caffeine to help stimulate cells and break away cellulite

Not all cellulite treatments are the same.  Look for products that are clinically proven to be effective and are dermatologist tested to be safe for your skin type.
