Seeing lumpy skin on your abdomen, thighs, or butt? Does the skin look uneven or rough, or like you’ve developed a large collection of dimples in one place that isn’t cute at all?
You probably have cellulite! It’s unsightly, it’s embarrassing, and it’s distressing. Fortunately there is a way to deal with cellulite. Read on!
What is cellulite?
First, let’s talk about what cellulite is.
Sometimes, the fat beneath our skin pushes up against the connective tissues beneath the skin. It’s a harmless condition. It just looks bad.
What causes cellulite?
Bad news: cellulite isn’t caused by anything you did. It’s often genetic.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t ways you can prevent it, or reduce its appearance. It just means that some people are going to develop cellulite almost no matter what, and so mitigation becomes the name of the game.
Of course, there are often other causes as well. Age weakens collagen, which in turn contributes to cellulite. Hormone imbalances can also help cellulite form.
How can you prevent cellulite?
First and foremost, do your best to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated will reduce water retention, which will keep fat cells from expanding. Avoid salt for the same reasons.
Weight control matters too. It’s just a simple fact: the more fat cells you have, the more likely they are to press against all that connective tissue. Weight loss alone may not prevent all cellulite if you have a genetic predisposition to it, but it will help.
Exercise can help as well, and not just because it supports healthy weight loss. Exercise can improve your muscle tone, which will, in turn, make cellulite less likely.
