Pregnancy And The Effects On Cellulite
Skin Care No Comments »Cellulite affects the expectant body more than any other and no kudos for guessing the reason behind it. For the duration of the pregnancy a woman?s body experiences drastic changes, physical and emotional. An expecting mother goes through extreme emotional rollercoaster rides, due to unstable hormones. Physically, a heavy amount of weight is gained during pregnancy, which is the most evident factor behind cellulite. Hormonal changes occurring in the body is the second most prominent factor, though many women are generally not aware of it. Essentially the contributing factors are enhanced during pregnancy and likely to affect women who are otherwise unlikely of developing cellulite.
Cellulite is also known as orange-peel skin, and resembles dimples on the skin. Cottage cheese is another name for it. It affects lower part of the body, which is the stomach, thighs, pelvic area, and occasionally the lower legs. But what is cellulite?
Cellulite is the manifestation of fatty deposits, beneath the upper most layer of the skin. It commonly affects women who are post pubertal, and is not generally observed in men owing to the dissimilarity in distribution of tissues, muscle and fat cells. Muscle in women is not as uniformly or closely wound which in turn causes skin to become wobbly and saggy, while having a thin layer of skin can also cause cellulite.
