Many women find cellulite shameful and consciously try to hide the condition by avoiding situations like the beach or pool. The dimpled look can affect almost any area of the body but the most common parts include the buttocks, thighs, stomach and hips. Sometimes it can even be found in places such as the neck or even the face.

Cellulite happens at the thin fat layer right underneath the skin. When the capillaries begin to breakdown the nutrients cannot reach the cells and connective tissue which contain the fat. The fat then begins to bulge from their deposits and there is a rise in fluids and toxins which all cause the skin above to dimple.

This breakdown can be caused - among other things - by aging, genetics, poor dietary habits, smoking or alcohol. Excessive weight gain and dehydration are also factors that make the condition more pronounced. When you skin is dehydrated it will be more prone to dimpling. If you are overweight, fat is added to the thin layer beneath skin leading to more and larger dimples.
