(Newswire.net — June 16, 2014) Reno, Nevada — Cellulite is the description for the dimpled appearance of skin caused by fat deposits just below its surface. It can be brought on by changes in metabolism, dieting, genetic and hormonal factors and even stress. Since the term was first featured in women’s magazines, in the 1960’s, women have become obsessed with these dimples which are often most noticeable on the thighs and buttocks but also found regularly on the abdomen.
Just as likely to be seen on the super skinny exercise conscious as on the overweight and lazy, cellulite has a negative impact on women of all shapes and sizes. Refusing to strip down to a swimsuit on the beach is common at this time of year among women whose self-confidence and body image are affected deeply by the appearance of ‘orange peel skin’ or ‘cottage cheese thighs’ as cellulite is often referred to.
Julie Milnes is founder and president of Nevada-based Bodishape. Her team scours the globe, researching trends in fashion, skincare, and wellbeing to find out how they can help women live more balanced, healthy and fun lives. She believes there’s too much misinformation about cellulite in magazines and on lifestyle shows and that certain myths are repeated by the fashion and beauty industry while common-sense advice is overlooked.
She says: “There are lots of unappetizing names for cellulite, each of them enough to make us shy away from talking about the subject but it is important for women to know the truth about this condition. It’s not true, for instance, that only overweight people have cellulite. The skinniest supermodels have it. Weight gain can contribute to the development of more cellulite but it’s not the sole cause of dimpled skin. Some larger women are never afflicted by it. Technically, cellulite is caused by naturally occurring fibrous strands, as well as the fat cells and fluids beneath the skin which combine to cause bumps and indentations.”
“And it’s not true that only women get cellulite. It’s rarer but men get it too. Women are just more prone to it because of their genetic make-up – something current scientific studies are investigating.
“Weight loss doesn’t always result in cellulite loss either. Drop a few pounds and your cellulite may get better but it may also make the dimpling more obvious. Even if you have the $10,000 for surgery, where doctors use a laser to blast the superficial layers of the skin, there is no guarantee you’ll end up with a perfectly smooth body. Less invasive, more protracted non-surgical procedures, such as ultrasound acoustic wave therapy, radiofrequency therapy, and light therapy might help to an extent too but don’t be fooled by photo-shopped images suggesting cellulite has simply vanished.”
“Since cellulite has its roots in our genetic design, you can’t banish it entirely, but you can take steps to reduce its appearance. Eat water-rich fruits and so that your skin cells remain healthy. Staying hydrated makes cellulite less noticeable by evening out the skin’s surface: another reason why you should wear suitable protection when in the sun.”
“Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to keep your fat cells in check for a less dimpled appearance come swimsuit season. High-fat, high-carb, and high-sugar diets add excess pounds that make cellulite more prominent so avoid extremes. Also, try to avoid yo-yo dieting which strains the skin’s elasticity. And reduce your stress levels. There are risk factors for cellulite that you cannot control, like aging, but hormonal changes linked to stress have been proven to worsen the skin’s appearance.”
“Of course, I’d also recommend a good, affordable body firming and cellulite reduction cream like the one we sell to target the particularly troublesome spots. Our product is clinically proven and made from all natural ingredients including a fat burning solution called Coenzyme A, which actively prompts the safe internal combustion of fat cells, creating firmer, tighter skin on tummies, legs and bottoms. Creams hydrate and tone the skin, smoothing it and lessening the appearance of dimples. The best ones really do work. We’ve seen massive demand in the States this year with sales virtually doubling month on month as existing customers return and new customers try our product out for the first time.”
Milnes concludes: “Having bumps and dimples on our bodies is the norm but in today’s society it is regarded as unsightly and it can really damage an individual’s self-esteem, especially during summer months when typically we expose more of our bodies to enjoy the sun. Our body firming and anti-cellulite cream is a real confidence booster tackling the cellulite issue head on by helping women to feel they are looking their best.”
