Log InOrange Peel Skin - by Editor
The pinch test
Pinch your skin between your thumb and finger or between the palms of your hands. If it is just plain old fat, the pinched skin will appear smooth. However, if the pinched skin has ripples or bumps similar to an orange peel, it's cellulite.
Skinny people have it too
Cellulite can affect any age group and there is a depressing statistic that claims that 99% of all women develop some cellulite after 30. However, men can also have cellulite around their necks and stomachs. As you may have guessed from the title, it definitely appears on the thighs. It also settles around the buttocks, the hips, the stomach, the ankles, the upper arms, the upper back below the shoulders and the lower back. That seems to cover most of it. The most astounding fact is that you don't have to obese to have cellulite. While overweight people are more likely to have cellulite, even skinny people face the problem.
There are two kinds of cellulite. The hard variety, which appears, believe it or not, in more active people, is harder to detect, as it is not so easily pinched away from the muscle. Soft cellulite is associated with poor muscle tone and is more noticeable as the skin is loose and it sags.
Who's the culprit?
While some researchers would like to believe that cellulite is all in the genes, it is more likely that what parents do pass on are bad habits. Cellulite formation is linked to poor eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, build-up of toxins in the body and poor circulation. Cellulite may also develop after pregnancy or as a result of taking contraceptive pills due to excessive estrogen levels.
The orange peel or cottage cheese effect is the direct result of the malfunctioning of the waste removal system and the build-up
of toxins in the body. When this happens, the connective tissue surrounding the muscles become filled with fluid that hardens into hard pockets making
your skin look like the peel of an orange.

Comments: This article is grossly misleading. Cellulite is caused by excessive accumulation of bodyfat in adipose tissues. The bodyfat stretches the skin creating orange peel look. Some thin people may have it because being thin does not mean being lean. You can have very little muscle and low weight but higher % of body fat. Try reducing the fat% below 22% by combination of diet and exercise and the cellulite WILL disappear.

Comments: I find that with correct diet rich of fruits and vegetables. Also fasting and flushing the system using a colon cleanser or blood purifier,the body is able to beat any toxins that develop that can turn into cellulite and if u do have stubborn cellulite,please do try also the vitamin E and castor oil massage,for three times a day,also excercise each part affected... eg:legs,or arms etc...seperately..it really works

I am 32 and I have always had flawless skin up until around 6 months ago. If drinking is the reason, of course I should stop drinking...but what else can I do to get my beautiful skin back? Or is it not repairable!
