How To Get Rid Of Cellulite

Cellulite happens when the connective tissues of the skin are penetrated by fat deposits. This gives the skin a lumpy or dimpled appearance. Because of the texture of cellulite under the skin, it is often called orange-peel skin. Cellulite is found more often in women than in men because of the connective tissue and fat tissue arrangement under the skin. Cellulite can be caused by hormones, such as during menopause when the connective tissues receive less blood flow then they did previously. This results in a lack of oxygen to these areas, which causes the skin to produce less collagen. Some genetic factors must be present for cellulite to develop.
