Pink Elle Reviews…

Ask any woman out there, whether fat or skinny, what her biggest fear is and most will answer – Cellulite! Yes, the uneven, dimpled appearance around the hips and thighs that most women battle with! Ironically, men don’t have it which is pretty unfair! Like most women out there, cellulite too is one of the items on my dreaded list so read on below for my review of a Cellulite Cream Treatment!

What is Cellulite And How To Treat Cellulite?

What is cellulite? Its the dreaded dimpled, “orange peel” effect women’s skin takes on when fat cells get squeezed against the connective tissue beneath a person’s skin. The pockets the fat cells creates makes the skin appear uneven and dimpled and is most commonly seen on thighs and hips. Contrary to what many think, cellulite is existant in both thin and fat women and may be more visible in thin women as they have less fat tissue beneath their skin.

Unfortunately, to date, there isn’t any real magic treatment that can zap cellulite away, despite what slimming centers and cellulite creams claim. Not even liposuction can remove cellulite. However, what some creams can do is to provide a temporary tightening effect which provides a more toned appearance that lasts long enough for you to enjoy your bikini time in the sun!

Does Biotherm Celluli-Choc Work?

I read many good reviews of the Biotherm Celluli-Choc and decided to give it a try. It contains concentrated cocoa extract to help smoothen and tone your skin. The cream is rather liquid which makes it easy to spread. I found that it didn’t have much smell and was a little surprised that it didn’t really have that chocolatey whiff that Palmer’s Cocoa Butter has. It is easily absorbed into the skin and tends to feel a little dry after application.

Does it work? Well, like all cellulite creams, it can’t get rid of cellulite. However, it does smoothen your skin texture so the unevenness and dimpled appearance is less obvious. Skin appears firmer and slightly more toned which works great if you have been longing to wear that little bikini to the beach or the short miniskirt for a good night out.

Most reviews claim that this cream will work really well with exercise and ultimately, that is the best cure for cellulite. Cut down on starch, carbohydrates and always ensure you are well-hydrated. Spot reduction will not work but an overall exercise programme will help in preventing future cellulite problems and keeping current cellulite in check. Unfortunately, like everything else, there is no easy way out to getting rid of cellulite! Time to hit the gym, ladies!
