With the heat turned right up and the irresistible lure of pristine beaches with azure waves—bikinis and shorts become every girl's summer staple. But what if you aren't blessed with smooth, jiggle-free hips and thighs?
The problem is cellulite can affect everyone… yes, everyone. Cellulite doesn't discriminate—doesn't matter if you're a teen or pushing forty, if you're skinny or carrying a little love on your handles—if you have a higher fat content verses muscle mass (which can inflame the connective tissue), you're likely to see the familiar bulgy, lumpy un-pretty dimples.
But all is not lost—there is help at hand in the form of lotions and potions designed to banish the dimples. These cellulite busters stake hefty claims, so it's important you acquaint yourself with the three key ingredients before you buy one:
Caffeine: Increasing your daily intake of caffeine is going to do you no good, but its percentage presence in a cream definitely will. Caffeine has diuretic properties and it contains alkaloids, which stimulate the degradation of fat deposited under the skin. This in turn flushes out the excessive moisture resulting in increased blood flow and firmer skin.
Bladderwrack Extract: Bladderwrack is a type of seaweed that has a high concentration of polysaccharides and polyphenols, which increases your metabolic rate helping rid the body of cellulite.
Aminophylline: Primarily, aminophylline is a muscle-relaxing ingredient, but in a cellulite busting cream it’s an active antioxidant, which is very effective in breaking down fat deposits.
After an extensive round of testing (we're SO bikini ready!) Vogue gives you a list of the 16 best anti-cellulite creams.
