Cellulite (crying)

ladelcabaret · Cellulite (crying)

Yes, girls. It´s appearing! How can I dissimulate it on stage? Don´t talk about exercise, please! I need a professional miracle!! I wanna cry!

Herr Geist

It needs to be gone by any means necessary! Unless it requires effort. haha.

Im just kidding and welcome to the forums.

I'm sure one of these lovely ladies can probably help you. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum Madame Cabaret,

Celluite is just watery fat and every woman has it, some just disguise it better than others. There are some great tights out there for dancers that hold everything together and totally obscure any unsightly "oranges in a string bag" effect. I use fake tan, if you're going to have cellulite at least make it as pretty as possible. If only I could hang fairy lights on it!!!!!

I feel your pain ladalcabaret! Just to let you know, I am using a Nivea gel called Cellulite be Gone - it doesn't disguise it, but does actually seem to be making it less and the skin looks a lot smoother and feels lovely and soft - also it's a cheapy so won't break the bank! Smile

Ruby Rose

I'm sorry to upset you ladies, but any claims that a cream can get rid of cellulite is utter snake oil and an excuse to sell you body lotion at over inflated prices. The difference that cellulite cream makes is that your skin is getting a twice daily massage this is the most efficacious thing you can do as it stimulates the lymphatic system and helps to breakdown all the waste material you are storing there. I would also suggested using a natural bristle body brush before getting in the shower each morning working in long strokes or small circles towards to heart then after your shower massaging the area with a your favourite body lotion. Finally drink plenty of water or try substituting your tea and coffee for hot water with a slice of fresh lemon.

The best methods for treating cellulite are the cheapest, do not be sucked in by exotic promises.

Darn, thought I had found a miracle cure!

Now where is that brush..........

I thought I'd let you ladies know about something that works for me!

Lush Cosmetics - Buffy The Backside Slayer Body Butter!
It's amazing. It's like a block of scrub that you rub on your thighs and ass cheeks and shower off. Works for me, I use it around twice a week. You can find it here: http://www.lush.co.uk/shop/index....p;cPath=28_32&products_id=227

Miss Baby Bones

start at back of your knee and work upwards

repeat until pink and sore!! lol

Make-up ! quick fix for all. Just use a cheapy camoflague.
Noone will be looking for imperfections while your on stage there looking at you and your act. relax ,,,,, or scrub till pink.

Bella

Wear dance tights and most importantly a big, confident smile! Everyone has it so we may as well embrace it. Hmmm, maybe I should stick diamante's in my dimples........

Diva Hollywood

Since doing my Evolution of Woman routine I don't care about my dimples anymore, I have completely bare legs in it. I have not had one person complain or even bring it up and I have plenty. If you put 100% into your act you will fly, if you try and hid stuff on stage your body language is very telling I think.

I like Garnier Bodytonic rollerball - but I suspect that Ruby's right and it's got more to do with me attacking my thighs with the rollerball, rather than whatever's in the serum Sad

Ruby Rose

Daily pummeling is the way ahead ladies. Maybe we could all meet up and pummel each other Shocked

lushem

when you say camoflague, do you mean the green and black stuff the army use?

my thighs may dissapper, but the buttocks will get them!!!

Minnie the Minxtress

Ruby's soooo right... no creams can rid you of the dreaded orange peel thighs.. it's a con. Regular massage, loads of water, brushing and a good diet are the only way to go. I have it and it got worse when I was sitting on my butt all day doing an office job a few years ago... I used to get up, jiggle around the room massaging my legs to help circulation. God only knows what anyone would have thought if they'd seen that. Embarassed

Cherry Noir

I'm not so fussed about cellulite (hey if I can't see it, why should I care what's behind me Laughing

), but I have developed quite dark stretch-marks recently, which I am very distressed about as much as I try not to care.

It's making me a bit paranoid/shy about my performances actually Embarassed

and I know that is not something that the audience will particularly care about, but it's always in the back of my mind - does anyone have any good lotions/potions/ideas to make them less noticeable? (I'm guessing I can't get rid of them totally now I'm landed with the blighters Crying or Very sad

)

CharlotteThomson

Cherry, getting stretch marks out into the sun seems to make them fade a little, eventually they'll go silvery instead of dark but no i dont think you can get rid of them, lots of moisturing cant hurt! I cant imagine they're that noticable from the audience though, remember everyones looking at your sexy dancing, not your stretch marks Wink

Miss Baby Bones

self bronzer?

i use a glittery lotion for shows, they come in silver or gold so it looks bronze.

if the lighting is good they'll never see your cellulite!

if the lighting is harsh and bright ill put some flesh coloured tights on. tee hee

I'm covered in cellulite and stretch marks...one of the results of going from eating disorder to student diet in the space of two years.

I used to be worried about it but last December I got to see a top dancer perform. She looks flawless and is incredibly toned BUT has patches of cellulite! She is human after all and makes me feel a lot better about myself.

Cecilia Rouge

I shall be going bare legged for the first time this weekend in a routine and i know I shall be flashing my celly all over the joint, sod it, my outfit is so sparkly they (hopefully) wont notice! That is the trick I feel!

Diva: Ive seen your outfit for your woman act, I doubt anyone will be looking at your thighs honey! Very Happy

and good for you too.

We all have it but we notice it on ourselves more than others do remember that. Im actually thinking of going with bella's idea and adding diamonds on my dimples! EMBRACE!

Acacia Sweet

I was always really self conscious about my thighs. I'm usually skinny and struggling to gain weight but I seem prone to cellulite regardless (people always say "oh, you can't possibly have cellulite, you're so thin" yeah, right). I use the buffy body butter as previously suggested (massages and moisturises, smells great and doesn't cost the earth) but recently I tried flesh coloured fishnet tights (£1.50 for 2 pairs from Primark, bargain). I used them for my stage debut, they really reduced the appearance of the cellulite, gave me a ton more confidence, and cause they don't show up too much you can wear stockings over them. Hurrah!

Check out Wikipedia's cellulite entry:
Some predisposing facts:

Acacia Sweet

I heard that you can be genetically predisposed towards it. Joy.

My diet probably doesn't help much cause I eat what I please, but I'd rather just cover it up than restrict my diet. Life's too short to not eat chocolate and wear heels. Hehe. I tell you, nude fishnets are the answer. Very Happy

Ruby Red

ive heard that bio oil is good at helping streach marks fade.... havnt tried it myself but a close girlfriend of mine has and she swears by it!

AnastasiaHertz

I was told that rubbing coffee into your thighs helped, apparently Catherine Zeta Jones does it.

Just thought I might add this in.

Adelina Le Shay

whenever your in the shower give yourself a really good scrub down, i LOVE boots botanics sugar scrub, its really moisturising and leaves me really smooth and ets the circulation going...i swear its helping!!

Ruby Rose

I really hate to be the bringer of bad news it's not anyone product, daily massage and exfoliation are the key. you would have the same results with a bag of Tate and Lyle and sunflower oil, although some essential oils are really helpful for speeding up the transit of waste products.

Although some products are better than others with regards to the efficacy of their ingredients,, I must admit to being partial to Espas body scrubs!
