While age, stress, overeating, insufficient water consumption and lack of exercise can contribute to the formation of cellulite, smoking has also been blamed as a factor?
Yet another reason to butt out, cellulite can actually develop and worsen with smoking because it constricts the skin’s capillaries, disrupts healthy connective tissue, and decreases Vitamin C levels in the body which are vital to collagen production. All of these factors adversely effect circulation and skin quality, allowing toxins to become trapped within enlarged pockets of fat, which in turn, improves the chances of cellulite to develop.
