Cellulite 101

This week I plan to focus on cellulite and stretch marks. Two fun topics, right? I have both and have been researching various ways to get rid of both. Really diminish the look,not get rid of it because we know that is not possible, but researching a product that actually works to diminish it.

Cellulite, for the most part is genetically inherited. But cellulite starts with poor circulation. Circulation usually feeds the dermis (middle layer) of your skin to keep it strong -- but when circulation is poor (as in sedentary lifestyle, smoking, poor nutrition), the dermis becomes weak and it can't hold down the layer of fat below it. The fat layer then migrates into that middle layer of skin, creating that lumpy, cottage cheese look.


My research has shown that there is no cure for cellulite, but you can minimize the appearance of it. Stay tuned this week for more....
