While reading through Nivea’s Goodbye Cellulite Challenge website, I was amused to read the above quote from their resident dermatologist. I mean really, does any one kind of cellulite look better than another?
But the general agreement among “experts” is that if you want to minimize the appearance of the cellulite you have, a tan is one way to go, mainly because it lowers the contrast between the shadows made by dimpling and the rest of your skin.
But please, DO NOT run out to the nearest tanning salon! It’s absolutely critical that if you are going to tan, you should tan from a bottle, because in addition to all of the well known negative effects from the sun such as premature aging and an increase in your chances of developing skin cancer, sun damage can actually make cellulite worse! Over time UV rays break down the skin and make it thinner and less resilient allowing cellulite to show through all the more.
Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller was recently quoted singing the praises of self-tanning:
“Self tanners were a little funky ten years ago but the color is a lot better now. That’s the most important thing, if you have a little glow it really hides imperfections – bruises, spider veins, we all have little cellulite,” Miller added. “When you have that glow and you’re moisturized the light hits you in a different way. Especially after winter we have really dry skin it’s important to exfoliate, moisturize and do a self-tanner.”
Here’s the self-tanner that I recommend:
Nature’s Gate Organics Advanced Care Self-Tanning Creme
This produces a natural-looking, even tan and doesn’t have that strong “fake tan” smell like so many other products do.
