Ever wondered what those dimples on your thighs or buttocks are? You're not alone. Cellulite is a common skin condition that affects people of all shapes and sizes. Though it's completely natural, understanding what cellulite looks like can help you feel more confident and informed about your body.

How to Identify Cellulite

Cellulite often appears as a dimpled or lumpy texture on the skin, resembling an orange peel or cottage cheese. It’s most commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen but can show up in other areas too. Knowing what you're looking at can demystify those little bumps and help you embrace your natural beauty.

Although originally classified as a cosmetic condition, recent research has shown that changes over time in the body’s skin structure cause the transformation of fat cells into cellulite . You do not need to be overweight to have cellulite as it is caused by a combined problem of inadequate circulation, the accumulation of waste materials and the increase of adipocyte (adipose fat cells).

Our cellulite images show how the muscles in the body are covered with a fatty padding surrounded by liquid which supplies the padding with nourishment and takes away the waste products. If the waste products are not removed properly, they can start to build up, saturating the fatty padding with liquid which then thickens and hardens, puffing up to produce that well known orange peel look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have cellulite even though I'm skinny?

While cellulite tends to increase with weight gain, it can also affect those who are thin. This is because the fat itself is not the primary cause. The main contributing factors of cellulite are things you can't control, including skin structure, hormones, genetics, and age.

Can exercise get rid of cellulite?

Though exercise won't get rid of cellulite, it may help reduce its appearance. A combination of cardio and strength training exercises 4–7 days a week can aid in weight loss and muscle toning, thereby potentially reducing the look of cellulite.

What does cellulite look like on legs?

Cellulite appears as a dimpled or lumpy texture on the skin, often resembling orange peel or cottage cheese. The skin may take on a puckered look, especially when pinched, showing uneven fat distribution under the surface.

How do you know if you have cellulite?

You can check for cellulite by pinching the skin around your upper thigh. If the skin appears bumpy or lumpy, resembling cottage cheese, you likely have cellulite.

What is cellulite caused by?

Cellulite forms when fibrous bands connecting your skin to the underlying muscle tighten irregularly. This tightening pulls down on your skin while the normal layer of fat beneath the skin pushes upward, resulting in a puckered appearance. Hormones, genetics, and age also play significant roles.
