In the fitness world, this is often a hot-button issue.
Here is the shocker Athletes and Warriors, that mysterious term "Muscle tone" and even more mysterious "Skin tone" are brother and sister.
The more dense (not big) and active your muscle mass, then your skin will slowly and gradually follow suit. Its just another truth that no gimmick, magic cream, pill, or fad can get around. Now I turn the floor over to the smart folks in lab coats who are really smart so please pay attention to them! :)

The Cold, Hard Truth About Cellulite
(From Prevention Magazine,) - Are there any proven methods for getting rid of cellulite? Many people lose weight but the dimples won't go away. Do cellulite creams really work?
In reality, money spent on cellulite creams would be better spent on a set of dumbbells or a health club membership.
The active ingredient in cellulite creams is usually an asthma drug called aminophylline or theophylline. The theory is that these chemicals break fat molecules down into fatty acids, which are then excreted through the bloodstream. But, according to dermatologist Zoe D. Draelos, MD of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, "What works in a lab dish hasn't been proven to work on women's legs (or anywhere else on her body)."
Also, human skin is effectively designed to keep things out; it would be very difficult to get the active ingredients in these thigh creams to reach the fat cells just by rubbing them in.
Exercise and a healthy, low-fat diet are the best ways of combating cellulite. Losing weight can help too, but only if you're doing it healthfully -- no crash dieting. That may actually make cellulite look worse, because crash dieting can cause you to lose muscle tone. If you aren't exercising, start now, and make sure you include strength training exercise like weight lifting to shape and tone your muscles. That will help those trouble spots start looking better.
