When it's the best time to massage?

[Ana]

A good energetic massage can break water and fat deposits on the body.
But when it's the best time for that?
After a few hours from a meal, so that the body can absord better the fats?
Before exervising so that you'll sweat that water and the fat will go rapidly throught the faster flowing blood?
After cardio or strength workout?
I am not talking of massage for loosing fat, but for cellulite.

I am quite slender, but I want to get rid of that aspect of orange peel on the buttocks and thighs.
