Before moving on to practical matters, what is cellulite?
Let’s start with the basics, what is cellulite? To put it simply, cellulite, what we sometimes call dimpled or orange-peel skin, is a cluster of fat usually located on the buttocks, hips or thighs, and sometimes on the stomach or arms.
It affects around 90% of women, even if they don't have weight problems. Only 2% of men have cellulite. Why? It’s because of genetics. Women have a larger amount of fat and their skin is thinner, which is conducive to cellulite. Hormones and oestrogens also have an impact on the skin, as they are often the cause of problems in blood circulation.
Cellulite can be genetic, hormonal or linked to lifestyle. I’m not going to give you false hope, it’s not easy to get rid of it. And it will never disappear completely. But, with a few good habits, we can reduce the orange-peel effect and improve the appearance of the skin.
