Hormonal changes in the body can have an effect on how fatty cells appear. One way it appears is Cellulite, causing the skin to look like cottage cheese or orange peel. Millions of people try to use pill, lotions and laser to have younger looking skin. But of course, changing the amount of fatty cell just below the skin surface is the key, especially for women. Plus there is the risk of side effects from any topical ointments on your skin.

The main reason why most of the cellulite cases are abundant in women is that the connective tissues of women are more rigid and firm than men plus women have thinner skin. Which allow the appearance of cellulite. Physiology plays a big part towards the appearance of cellulite on our bodies. The formation of the connective tissue in women is "honeycomb" shaped and collects body fat causing that "cottage cheese" appearance. So, whenever a woman gets cellulite, the fatty cells tend to swell and get bigger. It causes a puffy appearance to the skin revealing an "orange peel" or "cottage cheese" look.

This is why men are less prone to cellulite than women. This is why it is important for women to be more cautious with their bodies as they have higher occurrence of accumulating cellulite. Being over weight does not necessarily mean that your skin will have a cellulite appearance. Thin people are just as susceptible to cellulite; the key is to keep the connective tissue and fatty cells below the skin "firm" with targeted toning and firming exercises that can be done in the privacy of your own home.

Basic muscle structure shows that the connective tissue in women is shaped like honeycomb. Keeping the connective tissue tone and firm will lead to less fat in the tissue and less of a "cottage cheese" appearance. Twenty-two minutes a day of toning and firming can have your skin looking smoother and help eliminate your cellulite.
