Mostly seen as unbecoming lumps of fat these cellulite deposits are mostly seen in the area around the hips, thighs and the rear. Many people are confused about whether they are just plain fat or have cellulite deposits. This is as both these tend to occur when you are overweight as well as out of shape. Confusing they are but there are ways to tell one apart from the other.
Cellulite tends to get deposited just under the skin between the connective tissues.
As these deposits grow in size they push the overlying skin upwards and force the lower fibres downwards. These lumps that form in the skin tend to look very ugly and make you look even more out of shape. Many creams, gels, lotions, claim on being able to remove the cellulite deposits but the truth is that none of these can really be said to be effective. Removing cellulite is not so easy as rubbing in a few lotions, or creams is. Partly hereditary, cellulite can though be controlled if not entirely removed through a few ways.
