A reader recently wrote in asking why men never have cellulite on their legs. Here’s an excerpt:

“I’m plagued by cellulite, yet my husband has none. He says it’s because I don’t drink enough water and need to lose 20 pounds, but I’m not convinced. Why is it that we eat the same diet, follow the same exercise regimen (none), and I’m the one with dimply thighs?  It’s hardly fair that men don’t get cellulite.”

Thanks for writing in Sandy, and you’re right, it’s not fair. Truth be told, men do get cellulite but it’s not as common as it is in women. Men mostly see cellulite on their stomachs while women have a lot of that dimply action on their behinds and thighs.

Your husband is right, you should be drinking 64 ounces of water every day for weight control and skin fitness, but he’s wrong about that being the reason for your cellulite. The water - cellulite myth is just that, a myth.

If you lost the extra 20 pounds of weight the amount of cellulite would most likely decrease, but the reality is that even skinny people have cellulite. It’s more a matter of genetics than it is anything else.

Cellulite appears through our skin because the fat stored closest to our skin is stored between fibers that connect to deeper layers of tissue. These pockets of space create the dimpling affect. For those with thicker skin, the fat is harder to see.

There are a number of products you can use that will reduce the appearance of your cellulite. Skin Fitness Facts recommends Rodial Body Sculpture.
