"Orange peel" or
"cellulite"??
A sad fact of life for many
women is that their thighs, hips and stomachs are particuarly susceptible to fat storage. Fat deposited just below the skin
in these areas takes on the unsightly "orange peel" or dimpled appearance and is known as cellulite.
But how does massage
help?
Cellulite is caused by fat
cells that collect together and compartmentalise under the skin. If fluid balance within tissue alters and the collagen
fibres become tight, tissue under the skin looses smoothness in outline and takes on a characteristic "cellulite" appearance.
