Learn moreWhat is cellulite?
Thighs, bottom and arms... cellulite can rear its ugly head just about anywhere. Cellulite is the result of excess fat that accumulates in adipocytes, the adipose tissue's cells. This is why this type of cellulite is referred to as 'adipose'. As they swell to accommodate the fat, the adipocytes deform the surface of the skin, resulting in the dreaded orange peel effect. When fat isn't burnt off, it's often because calorie intake exceeds calorie output.
Learn moreCan massages really help keep cellulite at bay?
Three key factors come into play when it comes to cellulite: excess fat storing, poor microcirculation and fibrosis. If your cellulite is related to excess fat, your cellulite is known as adipose cellulite. If, however, it is linked to poor circulation, you have aqueous cellulite. Finally, if your cellulite is the result of adipocytes being trapped by collagen fibres, it is known as fibrous. In all three cases, but particularly when you have adipose or fibrous cellulite, cellulite manifests itself as unsightly orange peel on the surface of your skin.

Can self tanner ever look natural? Self tanner gives you a summery glow all year round, without the harmful effects of UV rays.

Clarins uses DHA in combination with erythrulose for a perfectly even colour. Clarins’ self tanners keep you looking golden and glowing throughout the year.
