Cellulite occurs when the honeycomb structure that houses the fat cells beneath the skin starts to pull together, causing the fat to pop out. It is because these tissues are the cause of cellulite that the skin condition has nothing to do with obesity. In fact, it is not uncommon for very skinny women to have severe cellulite.

Poor circulation and fluid build up are the main causes of cellulite. When the blood flow isnâ??t moving properly through the skin and fat, there is fluid and toxin build up. As the toxicity levels rise in the tissues, the stringy honeycomb structure begins to harden and pull together. As such, cellulite forms.

One way to reduce this fluid and toxin build up is lymphatic drainage massage. This is a form of massage where the fluid is pushed gently out of the lymphatic system. As a result, fresh blood flows to the cellulite and helps start the detoxifying process due to the increase nutrients and oxygen.

If you want to achieve the very best results possible that you have your massage conducted by a trained lymphatic masseur. An alternative is to teach yourself anti cellulite massage and do it yourself at home. However, it can be difficult to target the problem areas yourself and therefore the results are often limited.
