Identification
-
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push against the connective tissues in the skin. The results are lumpy, bumpy, dimpled and/or puckered skin.
Significance
-
Blame it on your genes, your gender (women are more prone), your age (the older we get the more cellulite we get), your body fat ratio, and the thickness of your skin for causing cellulite, according the the British online magazine, The Pink Fridge. Women, who have more body fat than men, most often have more cellulite.

Prevention
-
A low-fat diet and exercise can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Aerobic activity combined with strength training and muscle toning are the best ways to minimize cellulite.
Misconceptions
-
Liposuction is not advised as a treatment to remove cellulite. Liposuction removes deep fat, not cellulite, which is close to the skin.
Potential
-
According to Skinlibrary.com, dark skin hides cellulite better than fair skin. Apply a self tanning lotion or get a spray tan to conceal cellulite.
Considerations
-
The ABC news show 20/20 performed a study of cellulite in August of 2005. The study confirmed that 90 percent of women have cellulite. Lotions, spa treatments, and fad diets are no magic bullet against cellulite.
