All women want to look their best. Yet for the 90 per cent of women whom have cellulite, it is an unwelcome condition that can not only affect their looks but also their self-esteem.

But what exactly is cellulite? And how do achieve cellulite reduction?
Cellulite is one way the body accumulates fat. Close underneath the skin there is a layer of fat which is much like a honeycomb and in those honeycomb panels the body stores the fat. When there is too much fat the panels begin to bulge resulting in a dimpled appearance on the surface of the skin which is called cellulite. The most common areas for the condition to occur on the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvic region. The condition affects mostly women because they tend to store more fat for the energy needed for breastfeeding and pregnancy.
There are a number of factors that can increase the appearance of cellulite, including:
hereditary;
hormones;
a diet high in fat, salt or not enough fiber;
lifestyle – such as lack of exercise and smoking; and,
tight clothing.
Exercising and eating right doesn’t necessarily lead to improvement – though it can. This is because there may be other factors such as hormones or hereditary which may be affecting the condition.
