How to reduce cellulite: a complete guide to exercise, diet and the right clothing

What is cellulite and why does it develop?

Cellulite is a change in the subcutaneous tissue that can make the skin’s surface appear uneven, creating the characteristic orange-peel effect. It commonly appears on the thighs, buttocks and hips and is a very common condition that mainly affects women.

The causes of cellulite

Cellulite can be caused by various factors that can affect tissue structure and skin appearance. The main factors include:

• Genetic predisposition: family history can increase the likelihood of developing cellulite
• Hormonal factors: hormonal changes can affect the skin
• Sedentary lifestyle: limited physical activity
• Unbalanced diet: unhealthy eating habits
  Poor hydration: drinking too little water can affect fluid balance

Understanding the factors that influence cellulite is the first step to understand how to improve daily habits, from physical activity, to nutrition, and to anti-cellulite clothing.

Anti-cellulite clothing: which garments to choose

Clothing can also play a role in skin care. Today, functional garments are designed to support skin well-being, such as BeGood garments.

BeGood anti-cellulite leggings integrate the patented Dermofibra® Cosmetics technology that combines minerals and microspheres with active cosmetic ingredients. In contact with body heat, these elements perform two complementary functions:

• Minerals (silicon, titatium, magnesium, and zinc) reflect body heat in form of FIR (Far Infrared Rays), which help improve microcirculation and reduce water retention.
• Microspheres release active principles gradually (aloe vera, vitamins A and E, and caffeine), which improve skin appearance, hydration, elasticity, and reduce imperfections.

All BeGood garments are clinically tested. A study involving 40 volunteers who wore BeGood leggings for 8 hours a day over 28 days. Results have shown a visible improvement in skin appearance, as well as increased skin hydration and a reduction in waist, hip and thigh circumference.
