Around the world, women suffer with an unsightly condition known universally as cellulite; although the thighs and buttocks are not the only areas that can have the condition. This is not a situation purely confined to those who carry excess weight; women who are naturally slim can also suffer with this unsightly problem.

You see as the collection of fats push against the connective tissue, it tends to cause the surface of the skin to dimple or pucker and visually look lumpy; giving you what is referred to as cellulite. In reality, nobody knows the real reason why some people accumulate these fats and not others, but there are some factors that health experts are considering such as the structure of the fat cells or toxins that enter the body. There are anti-cellulite treatments that aim to halt or slow this process.

One thing is certain though and that is as a persons age increases, the amount of this fatty tissue increases in the same way that wrinkles also form which is probably due to the reduction of the two components that keep the skin looking young; collagen and elastin. It is normally classified as a problem caused by hormones and is why men rarely suffer with the condition as fat in their bodies is consistent throughout.
