COSMETICS Today •Supplement to chimica oggi/Chemistry Today 45 ABSTRACT Cellulite becomes more and more of a problem in a world where a growing percentage of the population is suffering from overweight. Overweight due to excessive food uptake often goes hand in hand with the development of surplus subcutaneous fatty tissue. Although a calorie restricted diet and an exercise regime is effective in achieving a total weight loss there is often a less immediate influence on the fatty content of the subcutaneous tissue and the superficial appearance of the skin. The combination of a diet and exercising with the application of cosmetic products can work efficiently against the unpleasant appearance of cellulite or “orange-peel” skin . There are basically two pathways which can be targeted to achieve cellulite reduction: the inhibition of lipogenesis to prevent fat storage in the adipocytes and lipolysis, the active breakdown of fatty tissue under the skin. Both processes support each other in a complimentary way and can provide an extra cosmetic benefit when applied as a topical treatment on the skin together with an appropriate diet and exercise regime.
