Cellulite is the fat that is pushed towards the connective tissues under your skin. It makes your skin look lumpy and dimpled. It usually occurs on your buttocks and thighs, but is some cases, on other parts of your body too. It is the result of fat storage in the adipocytes (fat cells) and of water retention in the body. As the adipocytes grow, the connective tissue that contains them (septa) pulls on the skin surface and deforms it. At the same time, circulation is blocked and toxins accumulate. That is when cellulite appears, creating the inevitable orange peel aspect.
