CELLULITE
"Cellulite is a skin condition that gives the appearance of small bumps and ripples under the skin. The bumps are caused by the underlying fat cells growing too large and stretching the natural fiber compartments that hold the skin in the underlying layers of tissue.

"Cellulite" is ordinary fat, but ordinary fat that affects the appearance of the skin. The components of fibrous collagen tissue connect the skin to the subcutaneous layer and separate compartments that contain fat cells. When fat cells increase in size, these compartments Ardennes and produce an appearance of wrinkled skin.

Women tend to have cellulite more often than men because they have a vertical pattern of collagen in the underlying layer contains fat cells and when fat cells become very large, they bulge out of rooms and appear as cellulite.

Among men, the pattern of collagen is tighter, diagonally, and they have a thicker skin, so there is less bulging of individual cells in fat. Another factor in cellulite is high levels of estrogen because this hormone has a direct effect on the retention of fat cells by increasing alpha-adrenergic, doors chemicals that tell your fat cells stick to their content. Poor diet, poor circulation and poor lymphatic circulation can all contribute to the appearance of cellulite.

It stimulates growth and tissue repair by increasing blood flow in the region. It also helps to eliminate toxins and metabolic waste from the surrounding interstitial tissue fluid for disposal. Dry brushing is good for your skin all over, but if you suffer from spider or varicose veins, brushing these areas vigorously several times a day, initially in a circular motion, then back to the colon, can improve appearance of cellulite.

- Hormones: Cellulite is often associated with the use of HRT and the contraceptive pill.
