Women suffer from cellulite more than men with over 90 percent of females having cellulite at some point in their lives. This is because of the higher fat content that women have when compared to men. Often people believe that cellulite is caused by being overweight but this is not necessarily the case with many thin women suffering from the condition.

The media often makes many women feel that are abnormal if they have cellulite. But this if far from the case. Many famous celebrities and models suffer from cellulite except it is well covered by makeup and special affects.

To understand how to treat this condition you first need to understand what it is exactly. The dimpling of cellulite is caused by a thin layer of fat beneath the skin which exists in a small honeycomb like structure. When the fat begins to bulge from these honeycombs cellulite appears.

Cellulite is seen mostly in the hips, thighs and buttocks. However, it can be found in other areas of the body especially if there a is lot of fat in that particular area. Your predisposition to the condition is usually due to your genes. So the relationship between cellulite and excess fat is not a direct one with skinny women also suffering from it.

However, factors such as smoking, being overweight and alcohol can increase someone's chances of having cellulite. Other factors that affect the condition is the estrogen that is found in contraception pills, a slow metabolism, not drinking enough water, caffeine and spicy foods, medications, stress and a lack of exercise.

Older people are also more prone because the skin begins to lose its natural collagen with age and the structure that holds the fat together beneath the skin begins to break down.

These risk factors give you an insight in to how to reduce cellulite from those parts of your body they are affecting. Start by drinking more water, developing an exercise plan and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. Stop consuming foods with high calories or fat content, and avoid caffeine.

When exercising do a combination of cardio and weights. The cardio will burn fat while the weight will build muscle. This is the best combination of exercises to reduce cellulite in the body.

Consider complimenting your exercise and diet regime with other cellulite treatments. You can consider treatments like cream, lotions, laser, wraps or laser. A quick search online will help you find more information about these treatments and will help you make an informed choice.
