When the notorious orange peel appears on the buttocks and glutes, you start searching for methods to combat this scourge. A lot of money is spent on all sorts of procedures and anti-cellulite treatments, which have recently appeared in huge quantities on the beauty market.
Not all of them justify the money spent on them or the hopes placed in them. To avoid disappointment, several useful tips and a review of the best and most effective products will help you make the right choice.
How to Choose?
Everyone wants to find the best anti-cellulite remedy that will get rid of this scourge as soon as possible without harming their health. The problem is that there are too many of them on the modern market. On the one hand, such a wide range provides the right to choose. On the other hand, this complicates the search, but it can be simplified.
This disease has 4 stages, and each one requires specific anti-cellulite products.
- Stage I
The skin loses its elasticity, the orange peel is visible only when pressing on the affected area, and the body’s volume begins to gradually increase. At this stage, it will be enough to use external cosmetic anti-cellulite products: creams, gels, scrubs, and pastes for wraps.
- Stage II
Fat deposits form obvious lumps on the skin. You will have to consider additional procedures such as massages. You can start looking at folk remedies for cellulite.
- Stage III
The orange peel is impossible to miss. Growing subcutaneous fat lumps pinch the nerves, and the skin loses some of its sensitivity. In addition, muscle tissue no longer contracts as it should and becomes coarser. At this stage, it is worth looking at ratings of the best salon procedures for cellulite, going on a diet, and exercising. You can start taking dietary supplements from the products.
- Stage IV
Only pharmacy products can cope with advanced cellulite forms; you need something powerful to begin the healing process from the inside. External treatments are already useless at this stage. The skin becomes like a dense sponge, very cold to the touch, and has a bluish tint. Blood circulation is disrupted, nerve endings are affected, and muscle tissue begins to atrophy.
It is best to consult a specialist when choosing a method for treating cellulite. If you have to do it yourself, a brief overview of the ratings of the best anti-cellulite products will help with this difficult task:
- Guam: an entire line from Italian company Lacote. It includes various creams and gels for nighttime and daytime use, pastes for wraps, sticks, masks, and scrubs, separately for the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
- Kelp seaweed wraps have long been recognized as the best way to eliminate cellulite. Moreover, pastes for them can be made at home using brown seaweed powder from a pharmacy. However, salons already use ready-made, specially formulated, more effective preparations.
- Floresan Fitness Body is another line of treatments aimed at eliminating the orange peel. This Russian brand offers a wide range of warming and cooling gels and creams.
- Citrus essential oils (grapefruit, sweet and bitter orange, mandarin, lemon) are added to all anti-cellulite wrap pastes, as well as homemade creams and baths.
- Euphyllin is a pharmacy ointment that dilates blood vessels. Many people use it to improve subcutaneous blood circulation.
- Propolis is a natural product that can be used to combat cellulite externally (make creams and pastes from it) or taken orally as part of a general health regimen, which will also be beneficial.
- Honey is another beekeeping product that is widely used to eliminate the external scourge. It is the main ingredient in massages and wraps.
- Inneov Cellulite from L’Oréal and Nestle laboratories: dietary supplements in the form of capsules to eliminate cellulite.
- Thyroxine is a highly sought-after and effective hormonal drug that is prescribed only by a specialist.
- Mustard or pepper thermogenic wraps: despite the unpleasant sensations during such a procedure, it is these pastes that work best on the deepest layers of the skin.
Focus on this universal rating, which includes the most effective anti-cellulite products, and try new medications and treatments to improve your body.

Scrubs
Anti-cellulite scrubs are also cosmetics, like creams and gels. However, they can no longer be classified as superficial because they are able to penetrate into deeper layers of the epidermis. This means that the effect will also be more significant and noticeable. They exfoliate the keratinized particles from the surface of the body, which has a very positive effect on the condition of problem areas.
How to use: twice a week, rub the affected area of the body with a scrub after a hot bath or shower. Duration: 5-7 minutes. Then rinse off the scrub. Excellent preparation of the skin for massage or wrap.
