It is estimated that cellulite affects 92% of women (and 2% of men — quite the injustice, right?). Yet despite being so widespread, a surprising number of misconceptions continue to circulate! To set the record straight, here are 5 key facts you may not know…
Cellulite appears at specific moments in life
A woman’s life is shaped by constant hormonal changes. Some of these changes, more significant than others, can be associated with the appearance of cellulite. This is why puberty, pregnancy and menopause can be periods when cellulite appears. These periods are marked by significant hormonal changes.
You can be slim and still have cellulite
Contrary to this all-too-common misconception, cellulite is not solely dependent on weight. You can absolutely be slim and still be affected by cellulite. Diet is far from the only factor at play — genetics, hormones and a lack of physical activity can also play an important role in its formation. Case in point: even very slim models can have orange-peel skin!

There are 3 types of cellulite
Adipose, aqueous and fibrous… Ring any bells? These 3 types of cellulite can appear individually or in combination, known as mixed cellulite. Simply put, adipose cellulite is often associated with a diet rich in fat, while fibrous cellulite is linked to a lack of physical activity. To tailor your skincare routine as closely as possible, it may be useful to identify your cellulite type — so don’t hesitate to answer a few questions to find out!
