What are the real causes behind cellulite?

..................................................................................................... If you have cellulite, do not worry most women have it even those who are fit and slender, nonetheless it is not the same with men because women tend to carry more fat because of their less supportive connective tissue. Actually, there is a lot of misinformation about what causes it and what is the cure; so before taking a cosmetic procedure or spending money on products you need to know more about it, which we are going to do in this article. Some cellulite products would claim they remove toxins and impurities from your body being the cause of cellulite, but rather cellulite appears when fat deposits push through the connective tissue or collagen fibers under the skin due to lack of exercise or excess fat or poor circulation.

Hormones play also a role in cellulite; as women grow old their bodies do not produce enough estrogen, which is a hormone helping the blood vessels to flow smoothly, and this means poor circulation and less collagen production. Genes can be another reason; if it runs in your family, there is a good chance that you will have it.


Cellulite is more noticeable for overweight women because the excessive fat underneath their skin puts stress on their connective tissue, however cellulite can happen to women of all sizes even the lean models. Exercise cannot cure cellulite but it can reduce its appearance because exercise strengthens the connective fibers underneath the skin and adds elasticity not to mention burning the excessive fat. Firming the muscles will in turn tighten your skin and thus make cellulite less noticeable; aerobic activity and strength training can achieve that. Products with retinoids create a thicker skin that can help conceal bumps; also creams containing ginger, caffeine or green tea can improve circulation and break down fat stores, in other words they can help together with exercise.
