Maybe you've already heard of this, but anti-cellulite creams work best if massaged in, and most of the brands state that on their products.

All but the most eager of us skip the massage part and go straight to smearing the cream on, and giving it the chance to sink in while standing in front of the closet looking for something to wear. Which is fine if you are not in a super hurry to get orange peel free in a couple of days, because your DB just invited you to a weekend get together with his parents in their seaside house.

As I would dread nothing more than my potential mother in law seeing my dimpled thighs, it was time to get off my lazy ass (!) and start the proper cellulite cream massage. A good massaging routine can be found at the L'Oreal Paris Sublime Slim website (just click on How to apply).

Believe me, you'll get the results much faster if you really do massage in the anti-cellulite cream twice a day! I know it's a chore, but there is a line I am not willing to cross - wearing jeans at a beach while everyone is bathing.
