Have a drink - but the right one!
Drink the recommended 1.5 litres of fluid a day to keep your skin hydrated and eliminate water retention. Cut down on coffee, caffeinated tea and alcohol, as these actually de-hydrate your body and add to the toxins that encourage it to hold on to fatty deposits.
Tuck into cellulite superfoods 
All of the below foods are full of nutrients that will help you to get rid of fats and fluids trapped underneath your skin.
Fruit: Cranberries, strawberries, blueberries, mango, papaya, oranges, grapefruit
Veg: Broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage
Dairy: Live bio-yoghurt
Wholegrains: Brown rice, oats, quinoa, wholewheat, rye
Beans and pulses: Red, green and brown lentils, red kidney beans, chickpeas, cannelloni beans
Meat, poultry and fish: Avoid red meats. Instead, go for chicken or fish.
Cut down your salt-intake
If you regularly tuck into sodium-laden foods or sprinkle your meals with plenty of salt, your body will be more prone to water retention - which leads to the dimply cottage cheese effect on thighs and bum! Try herb seasonings or low-sodium substitutes instead and avoid junk food that is full of hidden salt!
If you want to lower your salt-intake but lack inspiration, try Closer Diet's low-salt meal plan, full of delicious recipes with low sodium content.
Increase circulation: 
Help your lymph system to remove toxins from your body by brushing your legs, thighs and bum with a firm-bristled body brush. Any kind of exercise is always good to boost your metabolism and burn fat cells, and you don't have to join a gym to get a little more active. Walking, swimming and cycling are all excellent fat busters!
Moisturize and massage:
Give your skin a helping hand by keeping it moisturized and break down fat cells by kneading cellulite-affected areas. Conveniently, you can combine the two for a double-whammy! Regularly get out the body lotion and rub it in in circular motions, thus speeding up the body's circulation and cracking down on fatty deposits.
