Preventing cellulite and skin laxity: take care of your skin now, before skin looseness and cellulite take hold

Cellulite and skin looseness are the result of age and/or an unhealthy lifestyle. Both aesthetic concerns are interconnected and in most women they appear concurrently.

Sometimes we see women (and some men) with a lot of cellulite and little skin looseness and vice versa, but usually there is a mix of both.

And both of these issues appear gradually with age, which is absolutely normal.

However, poor nutritional choices (too much sugar, carbs and fat and too little protein, vegetables, fruits and herbs), a sedentary lifestyle, as well as smoking and the contraceptive pill, greatly accelerate the appearance of cellulite and skin looseness.

And these choices can cause cellulite and loose skin much earlier in life.

Again, sometimes we see cellulite / loose skin developing very early (even during the teenage years), while some other times they develop in the 30s, 40s or even later, especially in parts of the world unaffected by the unhealthy “western civilisation” lifestyle.

When it comes to cellulite and skin laxity, prevention is better (and much cheaper) than cure

When we are young it is easy to think that we are invincible and nothing seems able to touch us. We can abuse our bodies with work, partying, eating, drinking, smoking/vaping and our bodies seem to manage.

However, deep inside small changes accumulate and by the age of about 27-30 we see the first cracks: a few extra pounds, some pre-cellulite, a bit looser skin etc. Plus, of course, the reduced ability to party and go to work the next day…

By the mid 30s to 40s skin laxity and/or cellulite are quite apparent and by the 50s to 60s these are quite progressed.

The problem with both cellulite and skin looseness is that it is very cheap to create:

• You can create lots of cellulite with some very cheap sugary/fatty food and drinks

• And you can create lots of skin laxity by sitting down on a chair all day long and work, study, be “social” on instagram and tiktok or binge-watch TV series

However, both cellulite and skin looseness are quite expensive to reverse.

Plus they cannot be fully reversed - an improvement of 60% is just about the most you should expect for reversal, even with the best technology / treatment (don’t expect much results from cellulite surgery).

Let’s reiterate the last paragraph a bit more clearly: you cannot get rid of cellulite / skin looseness either completely or permanently, despite what snake oil salespeople on Instagram, tiktok, the internet and at aesthetic clinics would have you believe. Do not fall for the smooth talk.

Moreover, treatments cannot reverse loose skin and cellulite all by themselves and they definitely cannot prevent it from reappearing afterwards without prevention.

Prevention, based on a healthy lifestyle is essential.

So instead of only practising cellulite and skin laxity prevention after an expensive course of treatments, why not practise it now when cellulite is minimal or non-existent.?

16 steps to prevent cellulite / skin looseness now

You don’t need to live a saintly lifestyle because you do not need to fully prevent cellulite and skin looseness.

It is all about balance, i.e. preventing cellulite and skin laxity by, say, 80%, so that you can also party a little, enjoy a little but take care of your body a little too.

1. Try to balance party days with super-healthy days

2. If possible, exercise and consume less calories before a big night out or at least do so the day after

3. Try to balance sedentary days (work, study, binge TV watching etc) with days packed with physical activities

4. Stop smoking/vaping, which do not contribute much to your happiness but disproportionately affect your skin and your overall health

5. Drink moderately and only a couple of days a week and avoid binge drinking at all costs. And if you drink a bit too much, follow Step 1.

6. Eat rich food moderately and only once/twice a week and avoid binge eating. And if you eat a bit too much, follow Step 1.

7. Try to walk, swim and exercise daily during lunch or after work to balance up the inactivity at work

8. Eat more. Yes, eat more: vegetables, salads, herbs, berry fruits, lean protein and oily fish.

9. And eat less: less sugar, less fat, less fried food and less carbs. most people eat too much of these and too little of ‘Step 7’ foods.

10. Talk to your doctor about switching from the contraceptive pill to non-hormone based contraception

11. Have a collagen protein powder shake (vegan or non-vegan). In the long run (months and years, not days and weeks) it will really help with both cellulite and skin firmness.

12. Take a quality multivitamin, magnesium, fish oil (or vegan equivalent), vitamin D and a prebiotic, for overall health maintenance

13. Consider taking polyphenols and carotenoids, which help with skin/blood vessel health, which is relevant to cellulite prevention and skin firmness as well as whole body health

14. Apply daily a real cellulite cream, i.e. one with multiple, high-purity anti-cellulite actives in high concentrations

15. Have a monthly cellulite / skin tightening prevention treatment - especially if you cannot properly follow steps 1-13 above. The best treatment is a combination of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and high-power ultrasound cavitation, which are the strongest SAFE technologies for skin tightening and cellulite.

16. And in general, try to educate yourself about cellulite / skin looseness prevention, to avoid falling victim to misinformation and misleading sales practices
