Saffron is good for treating cellulite on the skin. This herb from the Crocus sativus flower has anti-inflammatory properties which can increase circulation between skin tissues.
“Consuming saffron can increase muscle tone under the skin, thereby eliminating surface valleys to make skin smoother and stronger,” says nutritionist Alan Roberts.
2. Berries
Berries, especially dark ones, such as blueberries and blackberries, can increase collagen production. This is good for the growth of new skin tissue.
According to nutritionist Lori L. Shemek, consuming berries can improve skin texture and color. Its antioxidant content plays a role in reducing inflammation which makes cellulite more visible.
Apart from that, eating berries can also help prevent signs of aging such as dryness and wrinkles on the skin.
