There can be many causes: too much fat and salt in the diet, smoking, insufficient exercise and even wearing your underwear too tight can cause it. If you have developed cellulite, though, you will be pleased to know that there are ways to reduce its appearance, so follow these ten tips and they will help you to rid yourself of cellulite on your thighs:

1. Massage your thighs

Our first tip on how to get rid of cellulite on thighs is massage. Massaging your thighs can help to remove the cellulite. Use a massage cream or oil and rub your thighs with your fingers in a circular motion for around five to ten minutes each day. The massaging will improve the blood circulation in the area and break up some of the solid fluids that have become trapped beneath the skin.

2. Change your diet: eat more protein and vegetables, and less fat and sugar

If you are looking for tips on how to get rid of cellulite on thighs, then you might need to look at adjusting your diet and start making healthier food choices. As with any unwanted fat, you can help remove cellulite from your thighs with a change of diet. Make sure that you get plenty of protein in your diet by eating fish, lean meats, eggs, low fat diary products together with green, leafy, fiber-rich vegetables; the protein will help to repair the connective tissues in your thighs and firm up the skin.

3. Go for a brisk walk and/or exercise

Walking is the easiest way to exercise your legs and burn off some of the fat that is causing the cellulite. Walk at a brisk rate, but one at which you feel comfortable, and walk for approximately forty five minutes each day.

4. Avoid Toxins

One of the biggest causes of cellulite are the toxins that you put in your body. When you smoke and drink alcohol, you put a strain on the lymphatic system, which adds to the appearance of cellulite, so, as well as improving your diet, you need to cut out the things that you know are bad for you as well. You can also cut down on the toxins by buying organic food, as this is less likely to contain toxins that have entered the food from pesticides and herbicides.

5. Drink plenty of water

Another simple tip on how to get rid of cellulite on thighs, that also seems to be a remedy for a lot of other woes, is – drink more water. Water will help flush the toxins and fat from your body, and help to remove the dimples on your thighs. You should be drinking, at least, eight glasses of water a day to reap all the benefits that it has to offer and, as well as washing out the toxins, it will strengthen the collagen and connective tissues under the skin and will help to reduce the signs of the cellulite.

6. Try a seaweed bath

For centuries, people in Mediterranean countries have added seaweed to their baths to help to keep their skin looking beautiful. Doctors agree that seaweed baths can help to reduce cellulite in your thighs; it re-mineralises your skin and increases your blood circulation.

7. Try a cellulite cream

The usefulness of cellulite creams is still debated but, many people claim to have seen the bumps and dimples of their cellulite reduce significantly, when they have used creams and anti-cellulite serums. Most of these creams contain ingredients designed to firm up and tighten skin, which will smooth away the appearance of cellulite, so you can give it a try.

8. Exfoliate your thighs

Exfoliating the affected area of your thighs will improve the blood supply and help to tone the skin. If you use a coffee based exfoliator, or make your own with coffee grinds and olive oil, you will get the benefits of the massaging action and the caffeine in the coffee will also tighten up your skin. You can also mix sea salt or sugar with coconut oil to prepare your own homemade anti-cellulite exfoliator.

9. Brush your skin

To help massage your cellulite away, try brushing the skin of your thighs with a purpose made skin brush. They are not expensive, and if you use them regularly and brush the affected area in a firm, circular motion it will stimulate the blood flow, remove dead skin cells and encourage new cell growth, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

10. Hide cellulite with self-tanner

If you are finding it hard to get rid of cellulite on your thighs, you can hide it with a light coat of a tanning lotion. Tanned skin does hide the signs of cellulite, but remember to apply it all over your legs or it will just draw attention to your thighs.
