The
fat cells between the two reserve fat layers situated under
the subcutaneous fat layer dissolve into a slack network. A
person's genetic makeup predicts their fat storage and
metabolism in these layers which are predisposed by diet,
exercise and lifestyle. These layers have no responsibility
for cellulite forming on a person's body.
The
subcutaneous fat layer in a woman is organized into large
upright chambers allowing fat to be stored. In men, these
chambers are organised into small slanting units. These
store smaller fat quantities and are not likely to form
cellulite.
Cellulite’s formation is a result of complex physiological
changes that occur in the subcutaneous fat layer. Regular
exercise and well balanced diets do not always reverse or
prevent its formation, although an unhealthy lifestyle will
make the overall appearance worse over time due to poor
nutrition, weight gain and lack of sufficient water intake.

With age there is a loss in
the thickness and tone of the connective tissue in the
superficial fat layer and the dermis. Unfortunately noticeable,
flaccid cellulite is the result.
There are a wide variety of
products on the market today which claim to remedy cellulite.
Many do not perform what they claim and as it's not known or
clear which do and don’t work, it is very easy to become sucked
in to buying expensive mistakes.
Many products consist of
topical treatments which alone are ineffective in the treatment
of cellulite. There are also creams available which contain
herbs, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. These assist the
skin to become softer, healthier and smoother and allow it to
repair itself more easily.
Creams which contain
antioxidants and anti-inflammatories are more effective when
treating cellulite as they stimulate the flow of blood. The
areas which are affected by cellulite are usually dry and
damaged therefore needing additional moisture, increased blood
supply and protection. The appearance of cellulite can be
reduced temporarily by increasing moisture to the affected area.
It needs to be remembered cellulite needs to be treated from the
inside as well as the outside.
