Watery cellulite , often caused by poor circulation and water retention, can affect many people and sometimes seem difficult to combat. However, there are solutions to reduce this form of cellulite and regain firmer and smoother skin.
In this article, discover simple actions, natural treatments, and practical advice to help you reduce aqueous cellulite and improve the appearance of your skin.
What is aqueous cellulite?
Watery cellulite is a form of cellulite characterized by excessive accumulation of water in the subcutaneous tissues . It often manifests itself with symptoms such as swelling, a feeling of heaviness, and a bumpy-looking skin.
Not to be confused with other types of cellulite, such as adipose cellulite . This form of cellulite is the most common and develops as a result of an accumulation of adipose tissue (fat) under the skin. It often appears as localized areas of fat, with a soft texture to the touch. This type of cellulite is usually due to a sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits or hormonal factors.
Fibrous cellulite results from the hardening and shortening of the collagen fibers surrounding fat cells. It can cause a feeling of tension or pain to the touch and is often more resistant to conventional treatments. The skin becomes firmer and irregularities are more visible.
Causes of Watery Cellulite
Watery cellulite is influenced by various external and internal factors that can aggravate its appearance.
Poor blood circulation
When blood does not circulate properly in the veins, it can cause fluids to pool in the tissues, creating swelling and a feeling of heaviness.
An inefficient lymphatic system
Responsible for draining excess fluids and toxins, it can also increase this accumulation and intensify discomfort. A sedentary lifestyle is another aggravating factor. Spending long periods sitting or standing without moving slows down circulation and promotes water retention, especially in the legs and hips, where aqueous cellulite is often more pronounced.
Hormonal fluctuations
In women, hormonal fluctuations play a decisive role. During the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause, estrogen levels increase, which leads to dilation of blood vessels and increased permeability of their walls.
This facilitates the leakage of fluids from the capillaries, causing water to accumulate in the subcutaneous tissues and worsening the appearance of cellulite, especially in the lower limbs. Finally, a diet high in salt can also contribute to water retention. Excess sodium encourages the body to retain more fluids, which can cause additional swelling and accentuate the visible symptoms of aqueous cellulite.
Prevention methods
Several strategies can be implemented to effectively combat cellulite and restore smooth skin.
A balanced diet
Eating fruits and vegetables , especially those with diuretic properties like cucumber, watermelon, and artichokes, can help reduce water retention. These foods not only hydrate your body, but are also rich in antioxidants and fiber.
Hydration
This is also a key factor. It is recommended to drink between 1.5 and 2 liters of water per day to promote the elimination of toxins and avoid water retention. By ensuring that you stay well hydrated, you promote the elasticity and tone of your skin, which helps fight cellulite.
Regular physical activity
Exercises such as walking, swimming or cycling stimulate circulation and help tone muscles. Improved circulation helps drain accumulated fluids and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Stress management
Because it can increase water retention. Practicing relaxation techniques such as yoga or breathing exercises helps restore a favorable hormonal balance, thus reducing the negative effects of stress on blood circulation.
Natural Treatments for Watery Cellulite
Natural solutions can also be effective in combating aqueous cellulite.
The scrubs
Coffee scrubs are very popular because of their ability to stimulate blood circulation thanks to caffeine.
