How long will it take for cellulite to go away?!
Question: Ive heard the best ways to get rid of cellulite without medical procedures is to lose weight and use a skin firming lotion.
Ive been working out for a couple of weeks or so and my friends and coworkers notice and tell me I look like Ive lost some weight. Ive also started using a skin firming lotion about a week ago. I know its not going to go away in a minute, but I want to know, how long do you think before I will start seeing some results, because I havent notice anything yet.

Some 90 percent of women have cellulite. Even thin and physically fit stars like Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Nicole Kidman have it. To understand what cellulite is, you need to understand a bit about the musculature and fatty tissues beneath your skin.
If you look at a cross section of a woman's thigh, you'll see tight fiber bands connecting muscle through the fat to the skin. Where the bands aren't attached, the fat bulges up, creating the classic rippling effect of cellulite. Men generally don't have the problem because their fibers criss-cross and the fat can't bulge up as easily.
The bottom line, according to Bank, is simple anatomy. Not even Hollywood stars can change it, he said, they're just great at hiding it.
And one of the best ways to camouflage cellulite, according to make-up artists on the old television show "Baywatch," a program built around bikini babes, is self tanner.
Shape magazine's Stafford agrees, "It's the best trick you can use. If your skin is tanned, you actually give the illusion of having less cellulite," she said.
Cellulite will never go away. It is not caused by fat in your body, or diet, but by your hormones. Every woman past puberty has some degree of cellulite.
Losing weight and using a firming lotion will make it less noticeable. However, the cells that cause the appearance of cellulite will not disappear.
Don't waste your money on fancy lotions. The only thing that may work is massage. Get a body brush and brush your rump towards your heart gently a couple of times a day and exfoliate with a body scrub in the shower (again, upwards), and have hot baths with sea salts in it.
Also, it helps to drink lots of water and cut a lot of salt out of your diet. You're doing a good thing by exercising.
