10 Weird Ways You Can Get Rid Of Cellulite
Cellulite affects nine out of ten women at some point, and a new breakdown from TheThings Celebrity lays out ten do-it-yourself fixes that don’t require a dermatologist’s office.
The video “10 Ways You Can Get Rid Of Cellulite” tackles one of the most common — and most misunderstood — cosmetic complaints out there. Cellulite shows up when subcutaneous fat pushes up through the fibrous connective bands, called septae, that anchor skin to the tissue underneath, creating that dimpled, puckered look on the hips, thighs, and buttocks. Rather than pointing viewers toward expensive clinical procedures, the breakdown focuses on daily habits: brushing techniques, kitchen-cabinet scrubs, hydration, and diet swaps that target fluid retention and skin elasticity.
- Cellulite affects roughly 90% of post-pubescent women and around 10% of men, caused by fat deposits pressing against connective tissue bands beneath the skin.
- Dry brushing — sweeping a natural bristle brush toward the heart — is presented as the centerpiece technique for stimulating blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
- Dietary fixes include cutting salt and refined sugar to curb water retention, while adding flaxseeds and kelp to support collagen and estrogen levels tied to skin elasticity.
Causes of Visible Cellulite Development
The mechanics are straightforward even if the fix isn’t. Fat cells sit in pockets separated by septae, and when those fat deposits swell or the connective bands lose flexibility, the skin above puckers instead of lying flat. That’s why cellulite concentrates on the thighs, hips, and buttocks — areas where women in particular store more subcutaneous fat than men, which helps explain the lopsided 90%-to-10% split the video cites.
Hormones play a role too. Estrogen affects circulation and connective tissue strength, which is part of why the video leans on foods believed to support estrogen balance rather than treating cellulite purely as a fat-loss problem.
Dry Brushing and Topical Scrubs
Dry brushing anchors the list — a natural bristle brush swept in long strokes across dry skin, always moving toward the heart, to encourage lymphatic drainage and get blood moving to the surface. The video pairs it with coffee ground or caffeine-based scrubs, which temporarily dehydrate fat cells just under the skin and tighten texture enough to smooth out dimpling, at least short-term.
Complete permanent eradication remains medically difficult — the video is upfront that these are maintenance habits, not a cure.
Neither technique claims to dissolve fat. They’re framed as surface-level exfoliation and circulation boosters that make existing cellulite less visible between more substantial lifestyle changes.
Training and Hydration
Strength training gets specific attention as a way to build muscle underneath the fat layer, which firms up the area and can reduce how pronounced the dimpling looks even if the fat itself hasn’t changed. Aerobic exercise is recommended alongside it for overall fat reduction, and the video pushes hydration hard — plenty of water to help flush toxins and support the lymphatic system that dry brushing is meant to stimulate. Readers who want a sense of just how far people will push a fitness routine can compare notes with WORKING OUT FOR 24 HOURS STRAIGHT!!, though nobody’s suggesting that as a cellulite protocol.
The Impact of Dietary Choices
The dietary section is where the video gets most specific. Cutting salt and refined sugar is framed as the single biggest lever for reducing water retention and fat cell swelling — both of which make cellulite more visible. On the other side of the ledger, flaxseeds and kelp are highlighted for their collagen- and estrogen-supporting properties, aimed at strengthening skin elasticity from the inside rather than just scrubbing the surface. It’s the same instinct that drives a lot of the wellness content that circulates in celebrity circles — small, repeatable habits over one-time fixes.
None of the ten methods promise to erase cellulite outright, and the video says as much. What it does offer is a checklist anyone can start on tonight — brush before the shower, skip the extra salt at dinner, and add kelp to the grocery list — without booking a single appointment.
