All they do is 'puff' the skin up to make it appear that you have less. Cellulite appears on women who are 100lbs and 200lbs. It is not the same kind of fat that makes you pudgy. It is purely fat that gets trapped and pushes against the connective tissue thus the dimpling effect if you have thinner skin.....Dry brushing in the morning before your shower helps circulate the body and gets the blood flowing.
Sorry, but I have issue with people speaking and not knowing the facts, and others that think cellulite is the end all or you are unhealthy if you have it - that's such BS. I'd rather have a few lumps than be dealing with other life threatening issues.

You are right I have looked up the causes of cellulite in various books and websites and I know that it has to do with poor circulation, genetics, BUT it also has to do with storing toxins under the skin that cause fluid and fat retention those toxins are caused by a BAD DIET. It is also caused by living a sedentary lifestyle which hardens the connective tissue....that's why I pointed out that she may not be in shape. Not drinking enough water also contriubutes to cellulite...that again is not "healthy". Smoking weakens the skin and causes capillary constriction therefor adding to cellulite. She appears to have no muscle tone and is "Fat Skinny". I'm just saying that to me she appears to be unhealthy with her lifestyle...I can't say for sure but from what I have seen that is ADDING to her cellulite. It's all about personal choice I guess...if someone is o.k with their cellulite and chooses to focus on other healthy issues then good for them. I just think that we all(myself included) can be more focused on bettering our health.
