Why does cellulite develop at 65?

Cellulite: what is it?

Cellulite, also known by different names such as orange peel or cellulite, occurs as a result of an alteration in the constitution of the skin due to an accumulation of fat in the fatty cells of the skin, also called adipocytes.

There are various types of cellulite (fatty, watery or fibrous) and different stages of development (incipient, installed, indurated). Know that at 65, your cellulite will most likely be fibrous and in the indurated stage.

Cellulite at 65: the factors responsible for its development

• A slowdown in metabolism. At 65, the metabolism slows down. The body has a harder time building muscle and shedding fat. Unfortunately you will understand: the combination conducive to the development of cellulite. To top it off, over time the skin contains less and less collagen. And this leads to sagging skin tissue and therefore more marked cellulite.

• The decrease in estrogen hormones. Cellulite often occurs during hormonal changes such as during adolescence, when taking hormonal contraception, during pregnancy or even during menopause. When you are 65 years old, and therefore after menopause, the level of estrogen hormones drops sharply in the body. This has the consequence of leading to a greater storage of fat in fat cells. But also the formation of cellulite on other parts of the body such as the arms and the stomach.

• A poor hygiene of life. Unbalanced food consumption, a sedentary lifestyle, a lack of physical and sports activity, the taking of certain medications, smoking, and recurring stress are all factors that are likely to encourage cellulite at 65 years old.

• Worsening water retention. As we age, water retention in the body increases because drainage and lymphatic and blood circulation become less efficient. This has the consequence of aggravating the development of aqueous and / or fibrous cellulite.
