I Used to Stop Using Anti-Cellulite Cream in September—This Year I’m Keeping It Up

Until now, anti-cellulite creams were part of that list of products I only used in summer. I bought them right before vacation, applied them consistently for a few weeks, and when they ran out, they ended up forgotten in the bathroom cabinet, all the way in the back, completely inaccessible in December or January. This year, however, I have decided to do something different.

The reason is quite simple. I have always heard that this type of treatment depends more on consistency than on any other factor, but I had never managed to keep the routine beyond September. Between returning to work and resuming regular schedules, I used to set them aside until the following spring. This time I want to find out what happens when consistency lasts longer than the swimming season.

I’m not looking for immediate results or to transform my body overnight either. What interests me is to incorporate this gesture into my body-care routine just as I do with moisturizer or sunscreen. Spending a few minutes massaging, paying more attention to the skin, and maintaining a habit that I typically abandoned too soon. In the end, it’s more about being constant than hoping for spectacular changes in just a few days.

That’s why, even if there are no beach plans or pool afternoons on the horizon, I’ve decided to keep using it. More than a belated bikini operation, I see it as a small personal challenge of consistency. I want to check whether maintaining this gesture through autumn and winter actually makes a difference in the skin’s appearance. And if, in the process, I manage to make it look firmer, more even, and better cared for for longer, all the better.
