Your cellulite is about to look better. Truly.

The bad news is: cellulite, the dimples and bumps we see when our fat is divided into tiny pockets in the skin, is nearly unavoidable. It appears when collagen fibers that bind fat to our skin stretch and tear, allowing our fat cells to expand.

That dimpled, puckered-looking skin has long been considered impossible to fix.
There’s still nothing that can prevent it from forming, but new technology is helping make cellulite less noticeable. But before the good news, here are a few facts about cellulite:

It’s more common in women than men

• Women’s collagen is arranged in parallel rows that lend themselves to a “compartmentalization” of fat, which makes cellulite visible
• Men’s collagen is arranged in an X-pattern, creating only small fat compartments, which don’t allow for dimpling of the skin
  Creams may help a bit
• Products that have caffeine: stimulates blood flow and temporarily shrinks fat cells
• Products that have retinol: helps repair cells over time
• Neither actually get rid of cellulite
  Exercise may help a bit
• Foam roller exercises can help
• Interval training burns fat, even after you’re through working out, making cellulite less noticeable
  Losing weight may help a bit
• More body fat does usually mean more visible cellulite
• Your tissue is still stretched and damaged even after you lose weight
• Inflammation and hormonal imbalances have a bigger affect on how much cellulite you have
  Sun makes it worse
• UV rays can damage collagen, making cellulite more noticeable
• Use sunscreen everywhere and anywhere the sun might touch
