Cellulite Test: Discover what type of cellulite you have to choose the right product.

How many times have you found yourself standing in front of a cosmetics shelf or browsing a webpage with products dedicated to cellulite, but after reading the various labels you didn’t know which cream was best suited for you?

Every woman is unique, just like her cellulite!

In this article, you will finally discover which type of cellulite you have and which product is best suited to your needs!

But first, let’s take a step back.

What is cellulite

Cellulite is an alteration of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that manifests as an uneven appearance of the skin, often described as “orange peel” or “mattress-like”.

This skin imperfection is mainly found on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and sometimes the arms.

Cellulite can be classified into different types based on how it manifests, but it should not be confused with water retention or lipedema!

There is no definitive cure for cellulite, but various treatments can improve the appearance of the skin. Knowing its type will help you find the right treatment to fight cellulite!

Types of cellulite

Cellulite not only alters the texture of the skin, but also involves symptoms and issues that make it necessary to use specific products and creams to act in a targeted way.

There are mainly three types of cellulite, each with specific characteristics:

1. Adipose cellulite

   It mainly occurs due to the accumulation of subcutaneous fat. It is one of the most common forms of cellulite and is often associated with weight gain or a sedentary lifestyle. Adipose cellulite tends to be softer to the touch than fibrous cellulite and may be less painful.

2. Edematous cellulite

   Characterized by a marked accumulation of fluids in the tissues, this type of cellulite is less common than other forms, but more difficult to treat and often more uncomfortable for those who suffer from it. Edematous cellulite mainly appears on the legs, buttocks, and sometimes the arms, and is often associated with a feeling of heaviness and tired legs.

3. Fibrous cellulite

   It stands out for its harder and more compact consistency compared to other types of cellulite. It is characterized by the presence of hardened nodules and fibrosis of the connective tissue, which makes the skin more rigid and painful to the touch. This type of cellulite is often more visible and more difficult to treat than softer or edematous forms.

But how can you tell, just by looking at your legs, which type of cellulite you have?

Based on your answers, here are the results of the test on your type of cellulite!

Mostly A answers: Edematous cellulite

Your cellulite is mainly caused by water retention. Look for draining products and lymphatic drainage massages that help eliminate excess fluids. Use creams containing ingredients such as caffeine, horse chestnut, and centella asiatica to improve circulation.

Mostly B answers: Fibrous cellulite

You have hard and painful cellulite that requires a more intensive treatment. Opt for creams and gels containing firming ingredients such as retinol and glycolic acid. Also consider professional treatments such as radiofrequency or mesotherapy to break down thickened connective fibers.

Mostly C answers: Adipose cellulite

Your cellulite is soft and associated with fat accumulation. Adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Use anti-cellulite products with lipolytic ingredients such as caffeine and carnitine to stimulate fat reduction.

Remember that lifestyle and diet also affect the appearance and development of cellulite!
