Summertime body issues causes stress and anxiety. "Nearly 70% of women found that cellulite affected their self confidence in general," says Dr. Farris.

Luckily, massage can do great things in terms of reducing the appearance of cellulite. So why not hit the spa for some cellulite–reducing therapy–and reward yourself for all the effort you've put in to getting bikini-ready at the same time. Check out the cellulite–busting Quadruple Thighpass at Bliss Spas nationwide. You get custom blended oils and massage techniques that encourage microcirculation, lymphatic drainage and are toxin–purging. It's a little pricey but after 6 treatments you notice a real difference. (Check out Blissworld.com for spa locations).

DIY: At home, when applying your gel–cream to your thighs, give yourself a mini massage. Start by squeezing and releasing the skin on the front and side of your thighs. Then when applying the cream, use both hands to apply it in long upward strokes. This will help stimulate your circulation in addition to feeling good.

SIDEBAR – GO FOR THE GOLD
Many women feel like they simply look better with a slight summery tan—but we're definitely not advocating slathering on the baby oil and baking in the actual sun. However, finding the right self tanner for your skin tone makes a huge difference. "I do think tan cellulite looks better than pale cellulite," says Dr. Farris. "And self tanning is a quick, affordable solution.

KEEP IT SUBTLE:
Afraid of going from ghostly pale to shockingly tan? Hit the aisles of your drugstore and look for a gradual self tanner like NIVEA Sun Kissed Firming Moisturizer. It's more like a body lotion spiked with a little DHA–the chemical that gives your skin the tanned look. It takes longer (4–6 days) to amp up to a noticeable bronze but if you're exceptionally pale or a first time tanner, that's most likely a good thing. Tip: Make sure to use a pre–tan body scrub first or if you're in a hurry try Model Co's Exfoliating Body Wipes which are a mess–free, totally portable way to slough off dead skin so it's smooth and ready for a faux glow.

HIT THE BOOTH:
If you're up for something more intense, take a cue from Clark Kent and try instant transformation via a sunless tanning booth. It honestly takes less time than a manicure and you don't have to sweat the application at all. The only downside: It feels a little awkward–you stand in a booth practically naked and have to maneuver your body a little to make sure areas like the palms of your hands and bottoms of your feet don't get hit. But you emerge a newly bronzed goddess. Check out Mystictan.com for spray booth locations nationwide and begin your beach girl makeover.
