Effective Cellulite Creams

We’ve all seen pictures of the ads. In the before shot, the model has thighs that look like overgrown sponges. In the after shot, she has been miraculously transformed into an 18-year old with the smoothest skin you’ve ever seen.

But anti-cellulite treatments – skin firming creams – really can’t do that. You're not likely to even achieve that result after liposuction.

It seems that all of us, especially women, develop that loose, spongy skin on at least parts of our bodies as we age. Do the skin firming products on the market really work?

In my article Effective Cellulite Creams I list ten I believe show promise and go into the reasons why I believe so.

Glycation is the process by which glucose links with proteins and causes them to bind together, thus stiffening tissues. As we age this bond loosens, causing cellulite in the buttocks, thighs and upper arms.

It affects the skin’s support system – collagen, elastin and other proteins – and leads to cellulite, wrinkles, sagging, uneven skin tone and loss of youthful contours.

Skin care products containing the ingredient, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, have been clinically shown to stop and even reverse glycation damage.

Some creams on the market only offer temporary relief, by basically starching the wrinkle out of your skin, in a process quite similar to starching a shirt.

However, there are other creams that help restore the collagen and elastin that are necessary for smooth supple skin.

Here are my top ten cellulite treatments.
