Although there is no quick perma-fix for cellulite, there are things you can do to make it look better temporarily. Dr. Z’s (and our) go-to? Self-tanner, which creates the appearance of even-toned (and more toned) skin. We also like to use a bronzing body oil to smooth things over. (We’re currently loving Charlotte Tilbury’s Supermodel Body, which has a subtle shimmer that somehow makes everything look a little better.)
Another option? Try massaging a cream that contains caffeine over any lumpy areas. "Caffeine constricts blood vessels, which can help eliminate excess fluid," explains Dr. Zeichner. "It also belongs to a family of compounds known as methylxanthines, which help the body metabolize and break apart fat cells themselves." (You had us at caffeine, Dr. Z.)
