Be careful, however, not to confuse cellulite, which in everyday language designates the “orange peel” appearance of the skin, with pathological cellulitis , which is an infectious disease causing inflammation of the subcutaneous tissues.
Cellulite is a completely natural physiological phenomenon. Fat cells called adipocytes (cells that store lipids) are stored under the skin tissue (in the hypodermis) and deform it. The skin is no longer smooth: it is said to have an “orange peel” appearance or to have dimpling. The causes of cellulite are numerous, however, it is estimated that heredity, diet, physical exercise, stress (closely related to lifestyle) or hormonal dysfunction can cause its appearance. The phenomenon of cellulite therefore results from an imbalance between the process of lipogenesis (production of fat in the body) and that of lipolysis (destruction of fat in the body).
