Hydrating your skin from the inside out is a natural way of plumping your skin so that the underlying fat cells that cause cellulite are less noticeable.

  The recommended volume of water intake is 8-9 glasses (64 ounces) daily. Some people suggest taking your body weight (in pounds), dividing it in half, and drinking that many ounces. So, for example, if you’re 160 pounds then you should be drinking 80 ounces. Listen to what your body tells you, and drink water throughout the day.
