The factors that cause cellulite to form at 40

Orange peel can appear on your body at several stages of life and can impact all bodies: thin, round, muscular or not. This is explained because contrary to what one might think, overweight is not a factor that fundamentally affects the appearance of cellulite. It will essentially have an impact on the more or less visible appearance of the dimples. So here are the many factors that are involved in the manifestation of cellulite at 40:

• The increase or decrease in the rate of'estrogen hormones. The development of cellulite very often occurs during major hormonal changes such as adolescence, pregnancy, taking hormonal contraception or menopause. The orange peel is then influenced by the rise or fall of these female hormones in the body which stimulate fatty tissue. These will then accumulate more fat in the deep layer of the skin and stimulate the retention of water and toxins in the body. In other words, the combo favorable to an excess of cellulite.

• A lifestyle that promotes the development of cellulite. A diet that is too fatty, a sedentary lifestyle, not moving enough, the consumption of certain drugs, smoking, and stress are all causes that can boost cellulite at 40.

• The development of cellulite in your forties may come from increased water retention in the body. After 40 years, blood and lymphatic circulation deteriorate, the drainage of toxins becomes less efficient and the phenomenon of water retention increases. In this case, we will speak of aqueous cellulite.

• Decreased metabolic rate. After passing 30 years, our metabolism slows down. That is to say that it eliminates fat less effectively and at the same time muscle gain is more difficult. Unfortunately, these two factors promote the storage of fat in adipocytes, and consequently the aggravation of cellulite and weight gain. And this phenomenon is amplified with age. It will then be essential to have a healthy lifestyle, to pay attention to your daily calories, to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and finally, to use products or treatments adapted to reduce or eliminate cellulite at 40 years old.
