Cellulite is a cluster of fatty deposits causing a dimpled appearance in the skin, usually on the thighs, hips, buttocks, waist, stomach and arms. Cellulite develops due to poor blood circulation and water retention. This weakens the connective tissue under the layers of skin. The skin thickens and collects fluids and fats. Fatty substances are pushed against the skin, giving it an orange-peel look. Dermatologist Neil Sadick, M.D., of New York, says that anti-cellulite lotions can make your surface skin feel and look smooth, reducing the appearance of cellulite. Deeply massage an anti-cellulite lotion onto your problem areas for best results.
