What are the causes of cellulite? We know for a fact that 90% of women have some form of it on their hips, stomach, butt and thighs. It shows itself to be like orange peel or cottage cheese or in simpler terms, looks like bumps or dimples. Unfortunately, women are primarily affected by cellulite (yes even famous women), but the good news is with medical modernization and several cellulite products, you can reduce it's appearance.

Cellulite is primarily described as fatty tissue below the skin's surface that simply has nowhere to go. The skin contains connective tissue is where the fat cells nest. There are several causes of cellulite and surprisingly, it is not necessarily being overweight which helps it to form. There are a combination of reasons that cellulite can occur in women. These include genetics, poor diet, little or no exercise, lack of water intake, cigarette smoking, birth control pills and stress. Many of these can be controlled, except genetics of course . However, it is important to note that when fat and toxins increase within the body from a lack of what we can control, it builds and pushes up against the connective tissues (which as we age, break down) causing the bumping and dimpling effects.

There are several cellulite products and or treatments offered on the market today for the minimization of cellulite's appearance. Some selections include cellulite creams, gels and lotions which temporarily plump up the skin, making it look smoother. Also Endermologie, which is the only method to be currently approved by the FDA and is a non-invasive treatment. It is simply a machine created in France that entails a massage technique which allows the body to release toxins and improve circulation. Other options are herbal remedies and body wraps.

In conclusion, regardless of which cellulite products you choose to affect its appearance on your body, the best ways to reduce the causes of cellulite are to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and drink lots of water to remove toxins from the underlying skin layers. The more you focus on these three important things, the better your cellulite products will work in partnership and the better you'll feel when you look in the mirror.
