60 DAYSPA | JUNE 2014 For the fi nal installment in DAYSPA's three-part series on cellulite, we discuss ways to maintain hard-won results. By Katie O'Reilly Part 3: Lifestyle Matters Cellulite Targeting © ISTOCKPHOTO.COM As we've outlined over the past couple of months, cellulite is a multifaceted product of genetic factors, hormones, circulation imbalance, psychological components, medical issues and more. We've also mentioned how each and every client is at risk, as cellulite sufferers already account for 85% of women and 10% of men. And as we've reiterated, it's a tough—and ongoing—nut to crack. "There's just no quick-fi x weekend detox that will keep cellulite at bay," emphasizes Keith West-Harrison, co-founder of Great Face & Body Spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico. "As it concerns the amount of fat under the skin, reducing cellulite's appearance will always be a continual process. Yes, I'll discuss quality topicals with clients but ultimately, improvement comes down to the long-term lifestyle changes necessary to create healthy habits and body awareness." Such changes, of course, hinge more on your clients' efforts than on yours, but professional expertise and guidance is still crucial. As Éminence's lead skincare trainer Natalie Pergar observes, "Despite there being no cure, one can manage cellulite via the right knowledge, professional treatment and lifestyle insights." We've been over the complexity of this cellular phenomenon's formation. We've reviewed the best-bet ingredients, old and new, as well as high- and low-tech treatment options. We now present experts' best practices for addressing the softer side of the cottage cheese war: the human element. Behold, the best ways to dispense lifestyle advice with sensitivity, understanding and true dedication to improving a client's overall well-being—with the added benefi t of a smoother derrière.
