Of all the cellulite treatments available using a cellulite cream has to be one of the most popular. Its popularity is due to the fact that it is an easy, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment. But the hundreds of lotions and creams for sale can make it difficult to choose a cream that suits your personal situation.

If you have ever suffered from cellulite then you know that it is when the skin gets a dimpled look. Often it is seen on the stomach, thighs, hips or buttocks. However, others areas on the body can be affected by it. The condition is embarrassing for many women who tend to avoid swimsuits or short clothing to cover up their affected areas.

There is a thin layer of fat underneath the skin which consists of honeycomb like pockets of fat. Sometimes this honeycomb structure weakens and the fat bulges from the pockets. The dimpling of the skin above - called cellulite - starts. As fluid and toxins continue to build the cellulite becomes increasingly worst.

The risk factors for cellulite include a genetic predisposition, aging, a bad diet, caffeine and alcohol. Being overweight can also worsen the condition because the body will add more fat to the layer beneath the skin. Another reason is a lack of water and this makes cellulite worse because the skin thins and loses its strength.
