HISTORY OF NATIONAL CELLULITE DAY
Let us tell you a fact. If you’re a female and you’re reading this, chances are you have cellulite. And you know what? There is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Cellulite, which can range from minor lumps to deep grooves, affects more than half of the women you know.
The goal of National Cellulite Day is to increase awareness about the fact that cellulite is natural and part of your beauty. If you’re still unsure what cellulite is, here’s a quick rundown: Cellulite is a completely harmless and a very very (we can’t emphasize this enough) common skin condition that causes lumpy, dimple flesh on our body.
Cellulite is more common in women, and it can appear on the thighs, hips, abdomen, and almost anywhere. Cellulite is caused by a buildup of fat beneath the skin. The amount of cellulite and where it appears can differ from person to person. However, it is important to understand that cellulite can affect anyone, and some women are more prone to it than others. It could be determined by your genes, body fat percentage, and age.
Some beauty marketing schemes potentially lie and flip the narrative saying that cellulite spoils your beauty and must be “taken care of”. In reality, it’s the opposite, some dermatologists say that cellulite is a secondary sexual characteristic. Cellulite can be avoided by minimizing your usage of hormonal contraceptives, coffee, and a bad diet.
So, if you’re trying to avoid cellulite, aim to maintain a healthy body weight, exercise regularly, get good quality sleep and stay hydrated. But as I mentioned before, there is no need to panic if you ever see cellulite on your body. So, embrace your cellulite, embrace your body!
