Cellulite is a “cosmetic” condition that results from “weakened connective tissue structures” just below the surface of the skin.
As women age the corium layer in the skin gets thinner and looser, allowing fat cells to migrate into this layer. Also the connective tissue walls between the fat cell chambers become thinner allowing them to enlarge excessively.
Involving typically the buttocks, thighs, lower part of the abdomen, nape of the neck and upper parts of the arms.
Things to do to reduce cellulite & maintain a healthy appearance:
1. Exercise – 20 – 30 minutes daily.
2. Maintain a normal body weight.
3. Improve circulation to the area.
4. Increase the integrity of the connective tissue structures.
5. Massage (hand or brush [check out our Refreshing Massage Oil]) improves circulation of blood & lymph
…..The aim is to reduce subcutaneous fat and enhance connective tissue integrity.
