Vitamin C prevents inflammation and strengthens the collagen in your skin, writes Goldman. Strengthened collagen helps to smooth the appearance of cellulite. Decreasing inflammation will lessen the excess weight around a cellulite prone area, in turn decreasing the severity of cellulite. Aside from supplements, good sources of vitamin C include strawberries, oranges, broccoli, red pepper, lemon and Brussels sprouts.
Collagen occurs throughout the body, but especially in the skin, bones, and connective tissues. Some types of collagen fibrils, gram-for-gram, are stronger than steel. Collagen production declines with age and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. Collagen can be used in collagen dressings, to attract new skin cells to wound sites. Cosmetic lotions that claim to increase collagen levels are unlikely to do so, as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.
