Myths Surrounding Cellulite Skin Condition

By: Patricia Hammond Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Cellulite skin condition is a common problem shared by individuals of varying ages. This is probably why more and more myths about cellulite skin condition are popping up. Among the abundant myths, the following are the most common:

Only Fat Women Get Cellulite

A cellulite skin condition is not a condition reserved for fat people and definitely not just among fat women. It is true that 95% of women generally suffer from cellulite. There are however also thousands of men who also have the same condition.

It is also not necessary that people with cellulite conditions are obese. Even thin people can have cellulite. This is because there is some evidence that cellulite may be caused by genetic predispositions or increased estrogen hormone levels.

All I Need is Exercise

This is probably one of the most misunderstood myths. Exercise alone cannot eliminate cellulite that is already present. Some say this is because cellulite is a form of fat that is trapped and cannot be properly burned by exercise. Exercise however can effectively reduce your total body fat even before cellulite appears. Trim and fit people may have cellulite but the cellulite skin condition may be less visible in them and may be seen only by pinching cellulite areas.

In individuals with cellulite, the right training exercise program can improve the blood flow which is crucial for toxic waste elimination. Having an active lifestyle therefore almost always beats a sedentary one.

All I Need is a Good Diet

Another common myth for cellulite condition is the diet. It is true that eating the right kinds of foods cannot erase cellulite. If you eat less fats and more grains, fruits and vegetables however, you will be able to reduce your body fat and clean up your system. Eating the proper diet can help you get more antioxidants that can fight free radicals that can make your cellulite skin condition worse.

Liposuction is the Only Solution For Me

Another wrong belief is that liposuction is the best cellulite solution. This is no longer the case. Cellulite can actually get worse because of liposuction. Liposuction is also not for everyone. It is a surgical procedure that works best only among young patients. Liposuction is generally a shaping method and can only be used by people who are already more or less close to fit and would just like a little muscular or body definition.

There is No Solution for Cellulite

There is no need to just live with your cellulite skin condition. Eating right and exercising can help prevent your condition from worsening. The right lifestyle however needs to be supplemented by other treatments. Some topical cellulite creams for example have been proven to be effective. It is true though that there are really topical rip off products that cannot really bring about any results. Some natural products however have shown great promise as cellulite treatments. Product with caffeine, green tea extract, algae extract and retinol A may be good products to use as cellulite treatment.
