Cellulite is ofttimes referred to as “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” mainly due to its appearance, which looks like dimples or ripples just under the skin. Often “dimples” are thought of as being cute… if only the same could be said of dreaded cellulite!
Predominantly women are strained by cellulite, although a small percentage of men are too. Cellulite is a problem encountered by many women—in fact, around 90% of women suffer from it, to whatever degree, on their thighs and buttocks. Even “picture-perfect” women you see in movies and magazines suffer from this unsightly “cottage cheese” effect, as you haw have seen from magazines such as The Globe, which seem to take great feeling in displaying particularly unflattering photos of stars who are caught unawares.
