Little About Cellulite
Do toxins cause cellulite? Are only women prone to having cellulite? These and many other questions keep popping up in the mind of people as they research about cellulite. Toxins aren’t responsible for cellulite.
When the fat cells in the subcutis (the third layer of the skin) breaks into the connective tissue in the dermis (the second and the largest layer of the skin), you will have the orange peel appearance.
Also, cellulite is more prevalent in women because of the way the fat layer and connective tissues are arranged (vertically) while the tissues and fat layer are scattered in men, which explains why men rarely have cellulite.
As we age, the estrogen level depletes, which affects the collagen and elastin production (essential fibers responsible for giving the skin its elasticity and flexibility). When this happens, the connective tissues become week, and the fat cells enlarge, making the fat cells to easily bully the connective tissue and alter the skin’s appearance.
Anyone can have cellulite: fat, thin, young, old, male, and female.
