Cellulite

Next time you peel an orange inspect the texture of the peel. Does it look familiar? Cellulite is the term that refers to this kind of uneven skin surface. The unevenness is caused by the accumulation of dimpled fat on certain areas - especially the thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts and abdomen.

Cellulite appears in as many as 90-percent of all women. Men don't suffer from cellulite as harshly as women do because their fat, muscle and connective fatty tissues are distributed differently. Cellulite not only afflicts overweight individuals; it also appears on the skin of thin women and those of average size. Cellulite can affect anyone, including celebrities.
