Bikini Best: Summer Cellulite Solutions

Summer means a lot of things--cooling off and doing cool things with your friends. For me, it represents an opportunity to make my yearly trek to Lake Arrowhead, Calif., where I seek peace and solitude in mountain resort living.

It's an amazing place to shed your cares while participating in hiking, boating and swimming activities. However, I still get a little shy about showing more skin during this time of the year. Dimpling on the thighs or backside can fizzle my sizzle, so I pack plenty of products that help stifle cellulite. They improve circulation, tone and firmness with ingredients such as caffeine, fruit enzymes, capsaicin, camphor and cocoa seed extract.

Sun, surf and sand--here we come! Be your bikini best with the following body contouring products. Note: If you're pregnant or suffer from high blood pressure, make sure you consult a physician before use.
