My name is Brenda Carter. I live in Ventura, CA and I started this little blog because I understand how feeling self-conscious about your Cellulite can really affect your life, and how amazing it is to finally look your absolute best. I want other women out there to know that I have been struggling with Cellulite almost my whole life and I have finally found a way to fight back.
It changed my life and I hope it can change yours too. I'm not a doctor, dermatologist or medical expert-I'm just a mom who stumbled upon a special combination of two different products that work wonders when put together. This is my story.
How did things get so bad?
I grew up in Santa Barbara, California and I used to LOVE to go to the beach. Although I never had a perfect body, when I was in my late teens/early twenties I used to wear a bathing suit with confidence. But once I graduated from college, I started to notice some dimpling and creasing of my skin on my upper thighs and around my butt. It wasn't anything major at first, but it did make me feel a little self concious about wearing a bathing suit or short shorts in public. As I moved through my twenties I noticed that the dimpling and creasing was getting worse and worse.
I still remember the exact day that I lost all of my confidence in wearing a bathing suit. Me, my husband, and my two kids were on vacation in San Diego for the weekend. I was in our hotel trying on a new bathing suit I had just bought. I looked at myself in the mirror and was actually taken aback by how noticeable my cellulite had become. I was so embarrassed and ashamed I wrapped a sari around my waist and didn't take it off the entire weekend.
It was at that moment that I vowed to do something about my cellulite. I couldn't believe that I was only in my early thirties and I was ashamed of my body! Like most people, I thought exercise was the answer. I jogged, I lifted weights, I tried aerobics at my local gym, but even after losing about 8 pounds, my cellulite was still there!
Finally, I started doing some research online and discovered that cellulite develops because of high levels of estrogen (which is why men don't get it) that it is mostly genetic (thanks mom!) and finally that it is caused by poor elasticity in the skin. I also read that exercise usually doesn't help because working out won't actually make your skin tighter. In fact, even skinny women can have cellulite (I'm sure you have seen plenty of celebrity tabloid pictures to prove it). It was at that point I stopped exercising so vigorously and focused on finding a medical solution to my problem.
Fortunately, with a lot of trial and error (and a little luck), I was able to find a solution that really works.
I didn't get lucky right off the bat. I went through a ton of products over the years, starting with ones I found at my local pharmacy-you know, the Neutrogena and Oil of Olay type products. I used them religiously and had no luck whatsoever. I then upgraded to specialty, more expensive products I got at the spa. I must have tried 5 or 6 different products (each of which carrying a price tag of $50 to $150!) and no dice, just a lot more wasted money.
As a last resort, I started to research cosmetic surgery. It only took a little bit of research to find out that surgery was WAY too expensive for my budget. One surgeon wanted over $4000 for one treatment that wasn't even guaranteed to remove my cellulite!
I was on the verge of giving up, ready to accept that I would never feel comfortable with the way my body looked again, when I happened to catch an episode of Oprah about skin rejuvenation that changed my life.
On that episode, Dr. OZ was touting the benefits of antioxidants, peptides, and nutrients and their effects on tightening skin safely and naturally. Dr. OZ explained that cellulite, like wrinkles, is caused by poor elasticity in the skin. When your skin loosens over age, you start to get that dreaded "cottage cheese" look that so many struggle with.
Armed with this new information from Dr. OZ, I decided to shop around online for products that were high in antioxidants and peptides. I found a few products online that claimed to be high in nutrients and antioxidants, plus they had risk free trials (well I had to pay shipping which was like $5 or something) and so I tried them one at a time. The first two were utter failures, which to be honest was what I expected at this point.
However after using the third product (Body Solutions Cellulite System) for just 5 days I started to see improvement. I wasn't sure if it was my imagination or what but I thought I might be onto something. After those first 5 days, though, nothing happened... the progress didn't go away, but it kind of stood still.
I was about to finally throw in the towel on the internet products when I saw a Barbara Walters special about something called resveratrol that was supposed to be an anti-aging break through that a Harvard study had said "could arguably be the biggest medical discovery since antibiotics." According to the Barbara Walters special and a number of reports in newspapers like the New York Times, resveratrol was being hailed as something of an anti aging miracle-helping with everything from cellulite to weight loss. One of the doctors on the special specifically mentioned how the high level of antioxidants in the resveratrol helped eliminate fat deposits and keep skin tight and healthy. I knew Barbara Walters was a reputable, trustworthy source, and I also felt comfortable listening to the guests on her show who were Harvard doctors recommending resveratrol. Watching the special I learned that resveratrol comes from the skin of grapes, is one of the most powerful naturally occurring anti-oxidants and that it is commonly found in Red Wine. It was being featured on 60 minutes just the other day because in tests with animals it has increased lifespan by as much as 50%! I know it sounds amazing, but it's for real, and that's why it has been getting so much media attention.
Barbara Walters discussing the benefits of Resveratrol, which is found in red wine, on ABC news.
It was then that the idea of creating a "one-two punch" hit me. "Hey, Body Solutions Cellulite System kind of worked and Resveratrol sounds promising-what would happen if I used them both together"? It would be one product you apply to the skin, and one that is a supplement - the perfect way to attack the problem from both the inside and out! I looked around online and sure enough I found a risk free trial for a highly recommended resveratrol product called RezV. TheRezV product naturally concentrates the goodness of wine's most beneficial molecule without having to consume a single drop of alcohol.
The "one-two punch" of cellulite reduction
The reason I call this the one-two punch is because it uses two unique products that work WONDERS when put together: Body Solutions Cellulite System and RezV.
Fortunately, because both of the products had risk free trials, I was able to test my idea out without spending lots of money.
The two products complimented one another perfectly and each seemed to reinforce and add to the improvement of the other. They weren't very effective alone, but together they were absolutely amazing. By combining them I made the improvement you can see in the pictures in just two weeks. The skin around my thighs and butt seemed to be tightening and the dreaded "cottage cheese" dimples started to flatten out. And on top of it all I felt more energized (I'm honestly not sure if this was because of the energy benefits of RezV or if it was more because I was so excited about the improvement in my appearance).
I still use both products to this day. I take the RezV pills as directed and apply the Body Solutions Cellulite System daily.
Here's how I combine them so effectively:
Step 1: Body Solutions Cellulite System
Body Solutions Cellulite System is the first and most important part of my routine. While RezV helps reduce my cellulite from the inside out, the Body Solutions Cellulite System when applied to my skin:
- Contains powerful antioxidants that nourish your skin.
- Decreases fat deposits and water retention.
- Boosts collagen production to firm skin and eliminate cellulite.
I got a risk free trial of Body Solutions Cellulite System and use it every time I take the RezV.
Step 2: RezV
RezV
is the second important part of my routine. You may have heard about
this product on TV on Barbara Walters or any number of other programs.
You take it as a supplement so it works from the inside out.
RezV helps:
- Slow down the aging process.
- Override an unhealthy lifestyle.
- With heart health, cancer prevention, etc.
- Increases my energy.
I got a risk free shipment of RezV and use it regularly to this day. The two products together make the perfect cellulite reducing combination because they focus on different parts of the problem. (That's why I call it the "one-two punch").
The results of MY OWN, cellulite reduction formula
Well, I think pictures speak better than words so here they are once again:
I feel healthier, prettier, younger, and more refreshed than ever. I
actually enjoy wearing a bathing suit now and my close friends and
husband have commented on how amazing my legs and butt look now (let's
just say my husband is especially pleased 
).
Try my formula if you're stuck in a rut
Be sure to order and use BOTH products to get the kind of results I did-that was the trick for me (they didn't do much when used individually! the key was combining them). Also, make sure you try the full risk free trial before giving up on yourself. The two products have amazing risk free trials with a full money back guarantee so you never have to worry about losing money to some scam. I just paid shipping (about $4.00 - $7.00 each).

Sounds interesting. I heard a lot about Resveratrol all over the place. You're the second person I heard of who had good results. Seems like it's time to give it a shot. Thanks!
How long did it take to ship?
Hi, just found this site and read your story. I'm proud of you. I had similar results with Resveratrol.
I like your idea for a "one-two punch". Great idea!
Yeah, a friend of mine is doing this. She really likes it so far
Im a little older than you Brenda, but this seems like it's my pace. I can't do anything to intense. Thanks for your inspirations!
I think my wife would like this. She's been looking for something along these lines. I'll buy her the trials to test.
