One of the worst cosmetics problems that women face, is that of cellulite removal. Its that ugly fat that is set close to the outer layers of skin, the one that wrinkles and gives us that ugly "orange Peel' look that bothers us so much. Cellulite appears right bellow the waist and goes straight to the thighs, which means we can't wear shorts, skirts or anything that shows our legs off because they look like old blue cheese. Is this a condition that only affects women that are overweight? Unfortunately "NO." It affects women from all walks of life and all sizes, so you could be the slimmest woman in the world and still have cellulite.

How Does it Happen? Cellulite lies just under the skin in the buttock and thigh areas where the fat pushes up against the muscles and the skin and creates that ugly bunched and puckered look. Worse yet there is no real cure and no one really knows why some people are more prone to getting these ugly fat. Although experts believe that cellulite is caused by toxins that are in the body.What we do know is that cellulite becomes even more abundant the older you get, and it is produced even easier because of the lack of elastin and collagen. As women age they are also more likely to have hormonal imbalances which also aids in the production of cellulite in women. Unfortunatly this is a condition that only affects women.

The Solution Science really has no answers as to what causes cellulite and therefore doesnt have any real answers for cellulite removal. This is probably why anyone from the cosmetics industry can lay claims to the effectiveness of their product in curing cellulite. There are even many cosmetic clinics that offer skin therapy and massage therapy which, they claim, gets rid of cellulite, but in reality only hides the problem.

Cosmetic Surgery as a Solution - For some women cosmetic surgery seems to be a viable option as a cellulite removal treatment. The problem is that liposuction has not been very successful in removing this type of fat.

Cosmetic Products - A lot of cosmetic manufacturers state that their creams are very effective and can remove cellulite, but in truth these are just methods to mask the problem and make it less visible.

People that have really studied the cellulite removal problem say that the only effective way to reduce cellulite is by diet change, exercise and drinking a lot of water. Studies have found that by drinking lots of water and controlling your weight.
