oh no, cellulite is trending

[@kumakena]

I asked my dermatologist about treatments for cellulite and she scoffed and said “what’s there to treat? It’s normal.” When I asked about injections, she said “women are scarring their legs with those needles to temporarily decrease the appearance of something beautiful and natural. I refuse to do those kinds of things.” It changed my outlook a lot.

[@maranne_]

That's a good dermatologist right there

[@mima9277]

she sounds like a keeper

[@lori_noaviv]

Wish I could find a dermatologist like that, I've been to a couple, and they all seem to try to upsell cosmetic procedures.

[@JenniferoftheSea]

My goodness, what an AMAZING dr.!

[@imnotsure4864]

Such a rare derm. ❤

[@strudelh]

I never really cared about my cellulite, I feel the same way about hip dips or stretch marks. It's something almost every human has, so thankfully I haven't felt insecure about them.

[@OneLoveCali]

Same .. we all have things we wish we didn’t have but I don’t fixate myself on them & I have all that & more but meh I never cared & just work around it bcos perfection doesn’t exist & those that get a bunch of work done are never satisfied (that says a lot) so I’m with you on your comment & agree 💯

[@eligreene2898]

I have this weird obsession with my stretch marks, not in a negative way either I just think they are so fucking beautiful. They remind me of how amazing the female body is and the things it can do. I’ve had them since before I had my son too, I have always associated them with growth and as I got older I just loved them more with time. I’ve never been ashamed of my cellulite but I’ve also never really felt the love I have for my stretch marks(I personally call them my stretchies cause I think it’s sounds cute just like my stretch marks) and I kind of want to feel the same way about my cellulite because it’s just another aspect of myself I get to love.

[@neen42]

I like my hip dips. It's the way i'm built.

[@cherub73au]

I've always thought hip dips were sexy. I've only recently discovered that it's something I'm supposed to be asbamed about. Hip dips are a naturally occurring human contour, nothing to be embarrassed about there! 💕

[@OneLoveCali]

Natural bodies are the best!! 🩷

[@PathologicallyIncurious]

My cellulite was pointed out to me at 15 years old, by a family member, and it truly scarred me. Due to genetics I’ve always been slim, and I spent 20 years being insecure about it, and trying to fight it with creams and workouts, etc. Until this year - I turned 35 and realized I don’t know why I’m worrying myself with such vane standards of beauty!

[@lizvelez6891]

Heck yeah, proud of you for making that breakthrough!

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

Agree, and I’m so sorry that person said that to you. That’s not ok. I’ve had someone’s dad ask if I was pregnant bc I no longer had a six pack when I was younger. But he truly did look pregnant 😂 yes, let’s stay off the vain train 😅

[@Chillikilli]

Same my mom used to check my legs for cellulite. I don't have it yet but the constant checking has Made me really anxious about getting it, even though I shouldn't care.

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

@@Chillikilli that’s her disorder being put on you, please explain how your looks should be the least interesting or important thing about you. Your spirit, heart, actions, brain, sense of humor and personality are far more important.

[@madisparkles]

This is why we don't talk negatively about people's bodies. Don't point out something that someone can't fix within 5 minutes.

[@RR-kp5ps]

You forgot to mention WHY cellulite occurs in women far more than men. *Cellulite is a secondary sex characteristic.* Men and women have different skin structure (X vs I I). Women also tend to store more fat in the bum and thighs. The female skin structure allows more room for fat cells to increase in size between the connective tissue as the tissue remains the same length, tugging inwards and creating dimples. Losing weight can minimise its appearance, but this isn't guaranteed as we cannot spot reduce fat. In other words, it's up to genetics where we store and lose fat, so if you're bottom-heavy, you'll probably always have cellulite. Also, a lot of people confuse stretch marks with cellulite. "Treatments" (i.e. cosmetic surgery) for stretch marks are different to those for cellulite. I have little to no cellulite and a lot of light stretch marks, but when I move around, they can look like cellulite.

[@mistypedhi]

To put it short, men have thicker skin and they also require less essential fat compared to women. That is why it is healthy for a man to have visible abs but it is not healthy for a woman to have visible abs.

[@RR-kp5ps]

@@mistypedhi As I said, where people store and lose fat is down to genetics. Some women don't have as many fat cells around their abs as other women or they may lose fat there first, making it easier for them to build abs. As long as they are at a healthy bodyfat percentage necessary for normal menstrual cycle, visible abs on women is not necessarily unhealthy as it is only subcutaneous fat that is reduced. It is excess visceral fat that is unhealthy.

[@minablak]

Omg same here on my upper thighs! Also, I’ve always been on a skinny side (with a six pack) however, after having a 5kg baby & despite shedding all the baby weight, the skin on my stomach never completely bounced back but I’m totally okay with that.

[@kr0wn.aSSaSSin]

Men are so lucky in this department..

[@Ashzuba]

Yes! And that connective tissue the fat is pushing through is our fascia. The more tangled up the fascia the more cellulite. If we address the fascia we can actually greatly reduce cellulite. What’s interesting though is that there are also a host of other health benefits that come along with treating the fascia and getting in its most healthy state ☺️

[@thewrongalfredofilms]

When I was 24 I was dating a man 32 years my senior. Very regrettable. I had just come out of the shower wrapped in a towel and he poked me in the side of my leg and told me I had a bit of cellulite there. I was mortified and furious at the same time. Judging only by the look on my face continued with "Oh, why are you getting so upset. It's easy enough to get rid of!". What I learned from that was there are men who would teach us to hate our bodies in order to control us. I've avoided men like that ever since and I'm glad I learned the lesson early. Thanks for the video Stephanie. x

[@chaoswitch1974]

I'm so glad you realized right then and there why he was dating you. He hates women and he could make you hate yourself.

[@chaoswitch1974]

... or he thought he could.

[@LxUxNxA]

[@Abishhhhh]

[@alexacarrillo4339]

The first person that shamed me for cellulite and “pones” was my mom. I hadn’t lived with her for a few years when she decided to take me shopping and destroy the self confidence I had developed living with my dad. Needless to say I never said s**t to my kids about their bodies other than making sure they had lots of food available and that my vegetarian kid had regular bloodwork done to make sure she wasn’t deficient in B vitamins.

[@PollyCrack]

U are awesome. Tnx for making my day. I get u :)

[@AsteriskBlight]

My mom hates her body and she sees only flaws on it and spread it to her daughters too. Always pointed out my cellulite, telling me I should lose weight or that my bum is too big. So sad. Luckily I love my body and did not care but it can truly be damaging. I am sorry your mom gave you insecurities

[@kathydelarosa1286]

I don’t understand how moms can bully their daughters. It’s giving jealousy

[@bossjihyo2276]

Oh to be half the mother you are!

[@H.Granger-sf7sf]

My mom kept mentioning that I was short and insisted that I cover my pregnancy belly. She would freak out whenever I wore a dress that showed my pregnancy belly. I never understood why. Her actions gave me insecurities during my pregnancy, and this is something I will never understand.

I had cellulite since the start of puberty. Grade 3 apperently ever since and never been overweight. I'm having thick thighs and beeing a teen in the 2000s didn't help my confidence. I'm 32 now and still working on feeling okay in shorts.

[@Bernardt_Art]

I feel you.

[@LeilaleilaZ]

oof, this represents me so much. Had cellulite ever since I can remember and even though no one ever made a comment the insecurities in my head stopped me from wearing anything short for YEARS. When I tell you I've only recently started not giving a fuck and I'm almost 29 I can't believe I spent so many years sweating my butt off (I live in a city where the average temperature is above 40° C half the year, IMAGINE my suffering). Am I still insecure about it? Sure, but it's liberating to not give a fuck whether it looks conventionally pretty or not. They're my legs, they work, it's HOT AS HELL outside. I'm done "hiding"

[@zeee23334]

My dad always said I should work out to avoid getting cellulite as I got older. I did a lot of workouts, but guess what? I still ended up with cellulite. I used to get so frustrated, wondering why I had it even though I've always been into sports. But little did I know, it's totally normal, and almost everyone has it.

[@mothercat6083]

I lost 65lbs over the last couple years with life style changes and my butt has a ton of cellulite from the little bit of extra skin I have. I don’t think there was ever a point in my life even as a child where I didn’t have some sort of cellulite in my legs. It is completely natural and just a part of having legs and living on a planet with gravity. Love your legs because they do more than just provide astetics, they are FUNCTIONAL and mobility is something the majority of people really take for granted.

[@BookishDark]

I promise you - the vast majority of females are born with it. I was a nanny to twins - a boy and a girl. He had smooth little chubby legs, she had dimply ones - it was then that I realized that we’re born with it. And for good reason! You need cellulite to store fat if you become pregnant - it’s what keeps you and the baby alive!

[@Lilmisscostumedrama]

Hey,Let’s embrace this trend. I have lost three stone but, because of poor curculation and varicose veins, and other health factors, I have very very visible cellulite coupled with the fact that I find it hard to build muscle. So I super wobbly thighs even though I eat good and workout. Let it Trend gurl!

[@cloudycloud4171]

Even the skinniest girl have cellulite can’t believe people are still talking about it 😢

[@newsystem420]

​@cloudycloud4171 yes I'm skinny and I do too! I would always choose working out than having a needle in my bum👍

[@mailin9092]

Biggest lesson I learnt: I had cellulite despite strength workout and low body fat. I even had cellulite during the time I had a restrictive eating disorder. After recovering, still cellulite. I hated mine but everyone has them. I didn't have them as a teenager and not as a young adult but now I've gained the last of the healthy weight I needed as I've fully matured. Even my mom has it and she complained so much when I was growing up but I always said I never noticed it because it's so normal and that she's still beautiful. Honestly all the women I saw on the beach on the vacation were so pretty and ALL had cellulite. We're so brainwashed by social media because we look on our screens more than real life so the new "normal" for us becomes super warped and different hence we now have more body dysmophia than ever and the need to change our appearances. We as a society need to work as a community to stop judging and falling for fake Photoshop.

[@anjah8249]

By the way: the main reason for cellulite is the way our fat and connective tissue arranged. It is different for women and men, hence men usually don't have cellulite but 90% of women. That also explains why, no matter what you do, you won't get rid of your cellulite, even though some things might help a little bit.

[@lollabunyxxx]

I dont mind my celulite in the back of my thighs (in fact i thoughtit was so pretty how my sking looked wonky) but the bit on my butt makes me very insecure. of course i went online and have been recommended SEVERAL procedures, products and told straight up LIES. god, being a girl is hard...

[@Marina_7]

Even though I've read many articles about it since puberty and technically knew this info, no one ever empowered me about cellulite like you Steph! You're a champion! ❤ thank you! I've had cellulite since puberty and I used to think I was fat (I wasn't) and very ugly (hated my face even more) and I should only dare wear longer shorts and bikini bottoms that cover all of my butt, lest everyone around becomes even more disgusted of me. It's a bit terrifying how much self-aggression someone can have for themselves! Love yourselves people, you deserve it! ❤

Hey! I lost 100 lbs when I was 25, I’m 33 now. I’ve had stretch marks since I was a teen - HUGE ones up and down my tummy. I got skin removal surgery and really hoped maybe there’d be a way to cut around them or something, but even with my new flat stomach I’m all stripey! I wear crop tops, bikinis, anything I want. I also have a ton of cellulite. Life’s too short. I shouldn’t have waited til the skin surgery to start loving my body, and you don’t need to wait for anyone to tell you your body is acceptable either!

[@mrtvyanjel]

I’m a tall girl and I had a huge increase in height when i was 12, since then I have stretch marks. I don’t now if it helps but I always saw them as a lightning bolts on my body, they are so beautiful. Don’t worry about them, try to see them as marks of your body changing which is natural. I’m sorry if I made some mistakes English is not my language

[@singularity___]

Man I needed this. Cellulite has always been my number 1 insecurity, despite having known how normal it is for such a long time now. I still can't help but think my cellulite is somehow 10000000x worse than everyone else's. I still struggle to wear shorts (especially in public) and it sucks so much, I really thought I'd be over it by now.

[@nimrasaeed406]

I learned about the real purpose of the body - survival, in a basement in Ukraine in Irpen (see the photo on the Internet). At this moment, when you have eaten almost nothing for 8 days under the bombs, you touch your stomach and imagine how much reserve is still enough until the complete shit starts... At this moment, the social firmware is erased by standards to the level of basic natural settings...

[@LeilaleilaZ]

Absolutely. Caring about something as trivial as cellulite on parts of your body is such a "first world problem". There are real issues out there in the world, people starving, dying, getting sick, getting traficked, etc, etc and yet some of us are out here worrying about dumb shit like that. Myself included! For years and years. But as I said, once some real, earth-shattering problems happen in your life - god forbid - you don't even remember if you have cellulite or not, or other look-related issues. We should stop looking for stuff to be troubled about and enjoy what we do have.

She walks by us and graces us with that comment and we were all speechless for a few seconds because it took a minute for us to comprehend what she meant, but also, we’ve never heard her say something like that before 😂 Not gonna lie, it helped me and still helps me a lot when I have body image issues mostly because it creates a disruption in the negative thoughts and it helps me regulate better.

Thank you for a video on this topic, Stephanie! I'm pear-shaped and got cellulite and stretch marks the second puberty hit me. I was (and if I'm honest, still am) ashamed of my cellulite so much, that I would not wear in public any clothes revealing my thighs. I tried workouts that promised to reduce it, creams, wraps, massage machines that promised to get rid of it, and none of those worked, so I felt even better thinking that there's something wrong with me. I felt like I must be just lazy and stupid if with all those remedies out there I still can't solve this problem. Unfortunately, I still have a long way to go because I still don't like my pear-shaped body and hate the way my huge butt and thighs look. But now I at least know that it's not my fault and it doesn't make me any less of a person.

[@CheesyCat888]

I love your message, Stephanie!

[@joeszombiegrrrl]

i haven't watched your channel since you moved away from doing makeup videos, but this one came in my recommended...great video, didn't realize how much i missed you til i watched it

[@lisacolledge7624]

Stephanie, i farking love you ❤. From me AND my cellulite. BTW: Ashley Graham, I'm 99% sure, was named FHM magazine sexiest woman in the world recently! Far cry from the 1990's and the 'heroin chic' Kate Moss eh. So much is cyclical, just glad beehives and bustles aren't on the list. 😊 Great video, as per usual.

[@Someone-lf7iz]

I think another thing is the use of the word "normal" for skin without cellulite, implying your skin is abnormal when you have cellulite.

[@_Dark222Angel_]

i get severe eczema and have been debilitated by it at its worst. Had to change my entire lifestyle. Its such a blessing to be physically comfortable. Never take it for granted. I would welcome celulite.

[@lillalzazz]

Stephanie, i love you so much ❤ Please keep on what you're doing.

[@dontworrybehappy518]

I like your content and your fresh honesty Stephanie. However, I think there is nothing cool about having cellulite. And yes, a lot of people have it, however out of my 10 friends (all over 50 years), only me and one more women have it. The others have not even a dimple. I always have had cellulite even though I am slim, work out regularly and eat very healthily. It runs in my mums family and it is a matter of your skin elasticity... A lot of my mums friends are overweight and have the strongest, even skin. I have tried all the treatments and gave up, because nothing really helps. So I learned to live with it but I won't show it off because it does not look cool.

[@ribidimi]

never stop making these videos stephanie :) it takes time to normalise normal things again

[@jdbfortney]

"Didnt bloody DIE!" I literally spit coffee out my nose!!! Lol Love your videos

[@WitchyCharlie]

Great video! Yes it’s the crazy marketing bullshit making us hate ourselves and it’s so dumb. People also try to say that laziness causes cellulite. It’s so dumb and I’m so so glad that people are finally bucking against this ridiculous beauty standard.

[@Whitney_Not_Houston]

Steph- I could have lived happily never ever seeing footage of those cellulite removal injections/surgeries 😳😱🥴 LOL love your guts❤

[@hadesstanaccount8760]

Your videos make me appreciate my natural beauty.

[@janetleeharrison]

Wonderful video! Thank you, Steph, for the positivity you put out into the world! 😘

[@rarangels9243]

Thanks Stephanie! Powerful simple message. Young girls need this message. ❤

[@6percentbattery]

I’ve had cellulite and hip dips since puberty and I didn’t wear shorts or short skirts until my early 20s because of how self conscious I was. Once I hit 25ish, I completely stopped caring. I realized that even my thinnest friends have cellulite and hip dips and there’s nothing wrong about it. Now I even LIKE my hip dips and I really don’t care about my cellulite at all. And I live in Miami, one of the most image conscious cities in the US (I think). I hope we all can come to this realization.

[@gapeach51170]

I am a 53yo mother of four grown boys :) I haven't worn shorts for years in public because of my cellulite and now what I call my old lady legs.... I need to stop worrying about it , but it's hard!

[@babyfacebkz]

Thank you for this video. Even at my skinniest because of family genetics I always had cellulite and always felt bad about it because I could never workout hard enough to get rid of them. Now that I am older I understand that its genetics and its not just going to go away. Also more people then I thought had it too. So embrace and love your body we are all not perfect even the Kardashian are not perfect and they have access to an amazing Plastic surgeon. Live your live and be happy!

[@drymobius9]

I LOVE your content! Thank you for the work you do 💕

[@Hannahhink]

I have lipedema and my legs look very much like a mattress, although I am "normal weight" I'm constantly in pain in my legs and arms, so I want to get the surgeries one day to ease the pain.. But if cellulite would become in trend it would really help my confidence 😂😂

[@LAWOODSTORIES]

I always feel better about myself after watching your videos. Thank you Stephanie 😉❤️

[@Eevee141]

I will never forget being told by a male at 17 that my thighs looked like cottage cheese in a garbage bag. Stuck with me for the last 15 years.

[@marielledelaine]

Amazing video! Short, to the point, captivating and empowering. Love your content SO much!

[@pinkdiamonds9137]

Inexplicably, I’ve never had cellulite anywhere, which is weird as I used to be quite obese for most of my life, didn’t have it then or now that I’ve lost significant weight. I actually felt left out when my older sisters would talk about it and complain with their friends when I was young, and thought it looked pretty and that every woman was supposed to have it and it made me less feminine for not having it. It’s insane that women have such insecurity about it and do crazy things to get rid of it

[@jiruchan]

I never realised just how much I felt downright *terrified* being seen with cellulite when I couldn't even wear shorts without panicking when it starts to show the back of my thighs :\ I'm an 80's kid so you know just how toxic and how every woman was shamed for having cellulite back then. Growing up, it was ingrained in my very soul to fear the cellulite and even shame and mock women who dared to show theirs. I'm really happy that more and more women are pushing back and your video has slowly helped me accept my thigh dimples. It's s a slooow process though. Yesterday, I went to the gym wearing a pair of gym shorts and I had to constantly remind myself to focus on my workout rather than be worried over the fact that my cellulite is out in the open for everyone to see. I had to tell myself that the very fact that I wore shorts in public is already a huuuuge step forward to getting rid of these toxic feelings. I then remembered this video and your message, and honestly, it calmed my anxiety down. Thank you, Stephanie

[@georgieeve2026]

Celulite it normal and nothing to be ashamed of :) However, I recomend Fascia Blasting if youre interested in reducing the appearance ♡

[@smallstepsdaily]

LOVE this video, and I LOVE the way you kept referring to our bodies as “intelligent bodies”. Thank you!! ❤

[@bloomingval]

I’ve had cellulite since I was 7 y.o and I was a very skinny kid. It’s always been my biggest insecurity. I’m starting to accept it tho and hopefully I become confident enough to wear shorts

[@marlee7389]

Let’s change it to DIMPLES ARE CUTE EVERYWHERE. Cause they are 🤷‍♀️ I adore dimples on my lower back 😍 And cause of these brave women and this video I’m beginning to like my other dimples too 🙃

[@kelbrl18]

I vividly remember seeing that Avon ad when i was in elementary school. I didn't know what cellulite was but i was embarrassed at 10 that i might have it

[@weirdblackgirl4827]

Good to know. I've had cellulite since I was a teenager, I've been through the gamut of rebelling against society, feeling ashamed for not working out enough or not being thin enough. Cellulite needs to be normalized.

[@mistypedhi]

It is hard for me because I swear every single woman I see in shorts where I live are incredibly tone and have no cellulite on their legs. Even women who appear overweight..I do not feel comfortable showing my legs or feet.

[@chandratownsend3891]

People can tell me all day long everyone has cellulite, but this is my excperience too. It's not social media and television I got this insecurity from, it's seeing everyday people all around me with little to no effing cellulite! Including overweight women around me and women 20 years my senior ( I'm 33 and workout regularly)

[@AC-iw5mv]

Same

[@Matisse_Famke]

I love you Steph, I too have dimples which aren't only on my face 😁 They were a gift to me from the birth of my son (and my guilty incessant croissant and cheesecake pleasures) 💛

[@marinabalabio2400]

Thank you for your work!!!😎

[@SocialExperiment232]

I love how wearing more revealing clothes was supposed to be about being liberated but all it did was make us a slave of our looks and the ever changing beauty standards. I honestly don’t like showing myself anymore I like people to just know me, instead of judging me for something I can’t change and don’t even care about.

[@katieboyd3213]

Lovely idea. Age gap. I’m 47 ( always had some ) but my skin is changing and it’s more prominent. I still see society as viewing it as ugly and myself as well; even more so since I suffer from body dysmorphia. However, your videos do enlighten me and you are beautiful, yes physically, but inner most. Thank you

[@cute946]

Can you please make a video about✨️stresh marks ✨️on different parts of the body Thank you 💖

[@muddy_spaghetti]

I don’t think that I’ll ever come to terms with my cellulite. I’ll never choose to flaunt it and will envy those who don’t have it.

[@ES11777]

That’s sad

[@sweetaudrina_]

Who doesn’t have it??? Kids? Lol

[@ajlee2168]

i mean you dont have to flaunt it, just being neutral about it existing would be good. like a mole, its just there and doesnt need praise nor ridicule.

[@naeratillnaturen]

Envy those who don't have it... you mean people without legs or arms? Because cellulite is completely normal. If you didn't have it, something would probably be wrong. Watch the video again and really embrace it, cellulite is nothing to be ashamed of, it is part of being human. Maybe you only listened to her talking about how some influencers show it off, but the video isn't just about that. It's about where the hate for cellulite came from and what it actually is. Don't let those stupid beauty standards get to you, they mean nothing in the big picture. ♡

[@mar1nn998]

​@@sweetaudrina_i am 19 and i almost have no cellulite at all my boyfriend says i have none hahah well...idk cellulite isn't bad though

[@eringillian2527]

I don't think (as an older millennial) I will ever be okay with cellulite (the early ans mid 2000s put us through some shit), but I absolutely love this and I do hope the younger generations can break this body critical curse.

[@betinajmc_]

Once again, Stephanie Lange scores the game by making us woman feel more empowered than we feel 😍 Love you, Steph ❤ P.S. thank you for taking the sponsorship from Armra and introducing it on your channel. I just ordered mine and it should be here in a few days:)♡
