Cellulite is a growing common problem that makes the skin look dimpled and lumpy. It may be caused due to several reasons that include diet, hormonal malfunction or lack of exercise.

- One should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. Water helps in decreasing the lumps and makes the skin plump and removes the toxic substances that built up cellulite.
