celluliteFew women want to look in the mirror and see dimply thighs; but the reality is that ninety percent of females over the age of eighteen have some degree of cellulite. While various remedies and treatments have been marketed for cellulite treatment over the years, few have lived up to their promise, leaving many women frustrated, disheartened, and reluctant to wear a swimsuit. One treatment that offers some possibility for cellulite treatment are the retinoic acids found in the prescription anti-aging cream Retin-A. Could Retin-A be the answer to dimply thighs?

The Ugly Fat Known as Cellulite

Although cellulite seems to be a mystery all its own, the reality is that it’s just simple fat. Lying on top of fat is the dermal support structure that’s composed of various components including collagen. Over time, this support structure thins out, allowing the underlying fat to show through, giving rise to the lump, bumpy, cottage cheese appearance known as cellulite. Cellulite is more commonly seen in women for two reasons. Women store more fat in the thigh and buttock areas than do men; and men have a better quality dermal support structure which prevents fat from poking through. Hormonal changes in women also play a role in their increased susceptibility to cellulite.

Practical Tips for Preventing Hay Fever

hayfever-pollenThe best way to prevent hay fever is to avoid contact with pollen, which is easier said than done. However, in addition to using over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines to reduce your hay fever symptoms, there are a few simple, practical things you can do to reduce your exposure to pollen.

Which Type of Pollen Causes Your Hay Fever?

There are different types of pollen, and many people are only affected by one particular type. Tree pollen, such as oak, birch and ash is highest during spring, grass pollen is highest during summer, and pollen from nettles and weeds is highest during summer and late autumn. The specific months of the year you are affected by hay fever will indicate the type of pollen you are allergic to. (Most people are allergic to grass pollen.)

If you pay attention to weather forecasts and websites which provide specific pollen counts for different seasons and areas, you will know when ‘your’ pollen count is high, and you can take action to reduce your exposure to pollen when it is necessary.
