Nobody really knows what causes cellulite to occur but there are certainly a number of factors that contribute to its development. Tension, fatigue, smoking, lack of exercise, alcohol, drugs, age, genetics and a difference in female fat architecture have all been held responsible for the poisoning of connective tissue and the formation of the dreaded orange peel effect.

Some researchers believe that cellulite is genetic, while others believe that it is caused by eating too much fat, not exercising enough or having poor circulation. Most likely it is a combination of all of the above...

Age
Cellulite can start to develop in girls as young as 14 or any time after puberty, but it does become more common after the age of 30. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly the average woman gains approximately 4.5 – 6.8kg of fat per decade of her life, and as we know, the more fat you put on the more likely you are of developing cellulite. Secondly, ageing also triggers the thinning of the top layer of the skin that covers the subcutis layer, making the lumpy fat more visible from the surface.

Lifestyle
Our lifestyles today are nowhere near as active as those experienced by our grandparents. For example, we walk an average of 12 kilometers less per day than people would have fifty years ago. The formation of cellulite is affected by inactivity, therefore, the more exercise you do the more calories you will burn and the less likely you are to gain weight. Exercise also strengthens the heart and helps to improve circulation - something that has also been linked to cellulite prevention.

Excess weight
Recent statistics have shown that at least 35% of the US population is deemed to be overweight while a further 25% are obese. The UK has a similar number of heavyweights to its name, with 30% of women classed as overweight and a further 20% classed as obese. And while cellulite can and does affect slim women too, it is more prevalent in those who are overweight and have a high body fat ratio.
