CELLULITE

Cellulite is not necessarily an overweight problem. You don't have to be heavy to have cellulite even thin people have cellulite. Though diet and lifestyle affect cellulite formation, a large part of cellulite is comprised of toxins and fat that build up in the body, and can affect men and women of any size, weight and body structure.

The skin on the hips, thighs and buttocks are the affected areas appearing lumpy, containing dips, ripples and dimples. Sometimes refer to it as a dimpled "orange peel" effect.

Primarily women are the victims of cellulite. It begins to appear in girls around the age of 14 and increases as they mature and the subcutaneous skin layer thins redistributing. Postnatal women often form Cellulite and those who take birth control pills because the waste system cannot get rid of the enormous flow of oestrogen in the body. It can also develop after a traumatic injury if the circulatory system has been disturbed. A sedentary lifestyle leads to a hardening of the connective tissue, causing a dimpling of the skin. 

Men's network of fat cells occurs deep in the skin hence the rarely develop cellulite. Female cells are smooth in shape and nearly reach the surface of the skin, which causes a dimpling effect. Men's cells reside deeper in the skin and are shaped more sharply rarely poking through to cause the dimples we associate with cellulite.
In a nutshell then, cellulite is found in areas between the waist and the knees. It is believed that up to 90% of women are affected to some degree by cellulite.
