Cellulite is a structural change in fat cells that occur under the surface of the skin. During puberty, fat cells cease to divide (that is, their number does not increase), but begin to grow. It is at this time that a failure can occur, in the subcutaneous fat layer stagnant phenomena will begin to appear, the fat cells will increase in size, and the connective tissue will not allow the removal of excess fat and water from them. As a consequence, in such areas of the body as the legs, thighs, buttocks and hands, the skin becomes bumpy. It is because of this, this skin was called "orange peel".
