Cellulite is the common name of the orange peel-like dimpling of the skin in both men and women.
It is more common in women and can be found around their legs, abdomen, and pelvis.
The term 'cellulite' was first used in the 1920's but only began appearing in magazines in the late 1960's.
One of the probable causes which will explain cellulite's rarer occurrence in men is the difference in make up of a woman's fat cells, including the tissue that holds the fat cells in place.
The tissue that is in women is very inflexible.
Because of this inflexibility in the tissue, women tend to gain more weight as they age.
Fat cells are pushed towards the surface of the skin, giving them the orange-peel appearance.
Here are some of the things that you need to keep in mind if you want to get rid of the unwanted look: 1.
You have to get rid of taking in junk food, diet soda, processed food, and saturated fats such as butter and animal fats.
2.
Avoid excessive intake of toxins like alcohol and cigarettes.
3.
Remember to brush your skin on a daily basis, preferably before taking a bath.
This action encourages the stimulation of the lymph flow, removing dead cells and encouraging new cell growth.
4.
Maintain a healthy weight.
5.
Conclude your daily shower with a cold rinse to tone your skin.
6.
Acquire Glucosamine supplements to help repair the dermis and connective tissue.
7.
Find a spa that will treat cellulite.
8.
A comfortable, warm seaweed bath will increase circulation.
9.
Avoid high-pressure massage.
10.
Apply essential oils that will stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
11.
Do not wear inflatable plastic shorts.
Remember: liposuction will only make matters worse.
