According to a study, about 90% of all women have cellulite. Then you might think, is 90% of all women is overweight? Nope, the high percentage of women having cellulite is because even slim and slender women also can have cellulite. I know it is hard to believe but it's true. Also, the chances are higher is you are over 30 years old. But not to worry, with the correct diet, exercise and lifestyle you can minimize the formation of cellulite
What is cellulite stages?
Initial stage of cellulite is not very obvious. One simple test to see if you have cellulite is to pinch your skin lightly. If the pinched skin texture is a little bumpy or dimpled looking, well that's cellulite. You can try on the skin at your thigh first because most cellulite form there first.
The second stage of cellulite is more obvious where you can easily see the cellulite when you are standing up. Skin maybe discolored and have a orange skin peel like texture
The third stage is where the cellulite appearance is much more severe. It is said to look more like cottage cheese like texture with multiple visible lumps on skin.
