Cellulite affects more than 85 percent of women, representing all shapes and sizes. It is most common in the thighs, but it can also be present on the legs, buttocks or stomach. Those who have cellulite can feel tenderness, or tightness in these areas that may also sag sometimes. Why do women mostly suffer from cellulite can be understood by the fact that the female hormones are considered to be the main cause of cellulite.
These hormones lead to the problem of connective tissues by promoting formation as well as expansion of fat cells, weak veins, fluid retention, and weight gain. Sometimes though, cellulite may result from other factors such as smoking, stress, obesity, pregnancy, lack of exercise as well as genetics. These causes themselves explain that you can get rid of cellulite with some lifestyle changes like doing exercise, having the right diet as well as through some home remedies for cellulite.

Stay Hydrated
Dehydration is definitely one of the main causes of cellulite. It gives the skin a wrinkled, aged and lumpy look that’s not attractive at all. Hydration, on the other hand, smoothens the skins surface to give it a healthy glow and texture. Water also helps with detoxification. So start drinking, at the very minimum, eight to ten glasses of filtered water every day. Try and drink water first thing in the morning, and be sure to add a slice or two of fresh lemon or cucumber (or both) to your water. Lemons and cucumber are powerful detoxifiers.
