TRIED & TESTED
Target orange peel skin with these tools and techniques. Of course, cellulite is perfectly natural and if you choose not to treat it, all power to you, but if you do want to reduce the appearance of so-called orange peel skin, we’re here to help. Here are six of the best...
THE FASCIABLASTER
This tool is covered with a series of claws that open the fascia (the connective tissue that envelopes our muscles) and break up adhesions. “Scrubbing” over problem areas is shown to reduce dimpling. Fasciablaster by Ashley Black Guru, £89, Amazon
THE GLOPRO
Used on your face, this gadget is meant to help with the absorption of skincare products and reduce wrinkles, while the MicroTip Body Attachment Head smooths uneven skin all over your body. GloPro Microneedling Regeneration Tool, £199, and Body MicroTip Attachment Head, £55, Selfridges
THE MIO MASSAGE
Uses a powerful active called adiposlim to improve the appearance of cellulite, but it must be utilised in conjunction with massage to have the desired effect. Mio recommends using it every day for 30 days using short, deep strokes. Mio Shrink To Fit Cellulite Smoother, £29.50
DRY BRUSHING
By far the cheapest way to fight back against the dreaded dimples is with dry brushing. Follow up with E’lifexir’s top-rated cream. Absolute Aromas Sisal Body Brush, £6 E’lifexir Bodylift Anti-Cellulite & Lifting Cream, £15.99
THE ULTRASONIC TOOL
The Assome! massager combines ultrasonic vibrations and high frequency radio waves to target cellulite beneath the skin’s surface. The tool also improves your skin’s appearance with red and blue light, while the Ultrasonic Serum reduces “orange peel” texture.

CUPPING
Another form of massage, cupping uses suction to mimic the pinching and rolling movements a massage therapist would make. Indemne Big Bubble-In Anti-Cellulite Accessory, £23 Nuxe Body Contouring Oil for Infiltrated Cellulite, £23.50
