Connective tissue and cellulite – what really helps

Almost every woman is familiar with it – small dimples on the thighs, buttocks, or stomach, known as cellulite or orange peel skin. According to estimates, around 80–90% of all women are affected by it at some point in their lives. But what is really behind these skin irregularities? And what can be done about them in the long term – without invasive procedures? A look at the role of connective tissue helps to better understand the phenomenon.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is not a disease, but a purely cosmetic problem. It occurs when fat cells under the skin enlarge and press against the connective tissue. At the same time, the connective tissue loses its elasticity. The skin becomes uneven and dimples appear – especially in areas of the body with a higher fat content such as the buttocks, thighs, and stomach.

Whether a woman develops cellulite depends on various factors, including:

Genetics (connective tissue type and skin structure)

Hormones, especially estrogen

Age (the older you are, the less collagen you have)

Lack of exercise

Unhealthy diet

Nicotine and alcohol

Connective tissue – our internal support network

Connective tissue has many functions in the body: it holds organs in place, stores water, transports nutrients, protects against injury, and ensures the elasticity and tone of the skin. If the connective tissue consists of strong collagen and elastin fibers, the skin appears smooth and firm.

However, with age – or under the influence of unhealthy lifestyle habits – the tissue becomes slack. Collagen production declines, the skin loses elasticity, and fat cells become increasingly visible.

Why does cellulite almost exclusively affect women?

Women naturally have a different connective tissue pattern than men. The collagen fibers in female tissue run vertically, which promotes the formation of dimples when fat accumulates underneath. In men, on the other hand, the tissue is interwoven like a net – fat cells have less chance of pushing through visibly.

In addition, the hormone estrogen influences blood circulation, lymph flow, and skin elasticity. During phases of hormonal change—such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause—cellulite can therefore become more pronounced.

Recommendation: Burn Your Cellulite by Natura Vitalis

If you want to tackle cellulite in a targeted and effective way, Burn Your Cellulite is an exceptionally effective natural product. Developed by Natura Vitalis, the product combines scientifically tested ingredients that work deep within the tissue.

Burn Your Cellulite is the world's first liposomal anti-cellulite cream, developed exclusively by Natura Vitalis. It combines patented liposomal technology with a complex rich in active ingredients to target fat deposits both on the skin's surface and deep within the tissue.

The world's first liposomal cellulite cream

State-of-the-art liposomal technology transports the active ingredients deep into the tissue – where cellulite forms.

Up to 10 times higher absorption of active ingredients compared to conventional creams.

2. Thermogenic effect with immediate results

Fat cells are heated and “ignited” – noticeable by a gentle burning or tingling sensation after application.

Blood circulation and lymph flow are stimulated, which leads to detoxification and drainage of the tissue.

3. Powerful active ingredient complex from nature & science

Contains over 30 highly effective active ingredients, including:

Caffeine, carnitine, guarana – activate fat breakdown

Fisetin and raspberry ketones – target fat cells

White tea, aloe vera, ivy – soothe & protect the skin

Horse chestnut & ginger – stimulate microcirculation

Phytosterols & tremella – strengthen connective tissue

4. Visible results from the first application

Beauticians report: first smoothing after only 60–90 minutes!

Long-term effect with daily use: visibly smoother, firmer skin after 4–12 weeks.

Cellulite affects many people – but you don't have to put up with it. With the innovative “Burn Your Cellulite” cream from Natura Vitalis, a product is now available for the first time that works directly in the tissue thanks to liposomal technology, a thermogenic effect, and high doses of natural active ingredients.
