Dimpled skin on thighs, glutes and stomach, smoothed.
If the dimpling on your thighs or buttocks makes you reach for a sarong or think twice about shorts, you're in very good company, most women have cellulite, at every size and level of fitness. It isn't a sign of anything you've done wrong; it's simply how skin and fat are structured. And while it's completely normal, its appearance can be improved.
What is cellulite?
The dimpled, uneven, sometimes “orange-peel” texture that commonly appears on the thighs, buttocks and backs of the legs. It can be more noticeable when standing, in certain light, or when the skin is pressed.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite forms as pockets of fat push against the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating the characteristic dimpling. It’s extremely common, affecting the majority of women, and is largely down to genetics, skin structure and hormones rather than body weight, so it can be present at any size.
