15 Fab Beauty Finds For Under $15


After spending the weekend lounging around at the beach and pool for the 4th of July weekend in cut offs and bikinis, we've had a lot of time to critique our bodies (never mind the extra helpings of BBQ and blueberry pie). And if it's one thing, women of all shapes and sizes can gripe about, it's cellulite.

We reached out to renowned dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad, author of The Cellulite Solution and The Water Secret: The Cellular Breakthrough to Look and Feel 10 Years Younger (available August 30th), to find out what we should be doing for the cottage cheese thighs (and other pesky regions) that ail us. Firstly, he informed us that "cellulite is not a fat problem, but a skin problem." Dr. Murad added, "Cellulite occurs when the connective tissue in your dermis becomes weakened or corrupted, allowing the fat cells from the sub-dermal layer to migrate up into the skin. These are the bumps of cellulite you see and feel. Cellulite often shows up for women in the thigh area due to lack of circulation."

Now that you've got the cellulite basics, read on for our favorite cream cures and more of Dr. Murad's beauty tips!

Murad Firm and Tone Serum



This serum uses cayenne pepper to improve circulation and repair cellulite damage, while also increasing the skin's firmness. Dr. Murad recommends products with cayenne pepper and goji berry to help improve circulation while also "building health and strong cells that help to prevent new damage." If cellulite isn't your problem, this serum is also excellent for firming up the skin underneath your neck. Murad Firm and Tone Serum, $77, murad.com

Bliss Serious Seaweed Cellulite Soap


With built-in nodules, Bliss's seaweed soap helps to exfoliate your problem areas and flush out the fluids that cause cellulite. Dr. Murad says, "Topically, a great 'quick fix' is dry skin brushing before moisturizing and massaging." Don't rub too hard though - the one thing worse than cellulite is bright red cellulite.
