There's this Caucasian woman I see on the train often. After she gets off the train, she bikes to her destination. Someone that bikes like her, I'd assume he or she would have fit thighs. This woman has the worst cellulite I've ever seen. You can see the holes from far away. I'm even questioning if it's cellulite as I've never seen a case so serious.

Cellulite is prevalent in Caucasian women. That's according to my eye and according to what I've read. I've never seen it in AA women. AA's tend to have more elastic skin though. According to what I've read.

The ones you have seen doesnt have it, that doesnt neccessarily mean all AA women dont have it! *na angel alla dem be?*

CyberG:

I have not met a black woman with cellulite till date but their must be a percentage that have it.

Them plenty!

CyberG:

One thing I have noticed is that white women have very good skin when they are in their early twenties but mid thirties to early forties, the skin is already sagging around the neck and discolored!

BIG FAT LIE!!

Just say, the ones you have seen!

CyberG:

I think it is in the skin pigmentation.

No, it's not (if talkin about skin colour)!

I have seen much in black women!

rokiatu:

Amazingly enough, I haven't seen any black woman with cellulite. Maybe I do not go around checking out nake!!d women.

On a more serious note, black women do have cellulite too but very rarely. Thanks to our thick skin.

Unlike the white skin, right. . .? U neva see anything!

No tak gud kia of ur skin mak u kno weda cellulite would com knockin or not!

Jenifa_:

yes i've seen black women with cellulite. usually on their butt because that's where many store their fat. but i'm sure there are women who have it on their thighs too.

EXACTLY!!

Mostly amongst the black women.

^ nah. i've seen it more on white women.
black women who are morbidly obese will usually have it. but it doesn't take much for a white woman to have it. as long as she gets to 40 even if she's average weight, cellulite starts to creep up on her thighs

i'm pretty sure there is an explanation for it sef. just like wrinkles is also more prevalent among whites due to their thinner skin/ sensitivity to sun exposure etc.

The "she" you know, or all white "shes" ?

re-read my post with the italics and you will see what the "she" is qualifying.
I feel like i'm explaining the use of pronouns to a 3rd grader.

Thaz the problem with you girls. All your reponses must come with an insult to prove your point (thinkin she answered my question).

Infact, you know what. . .? Not even a 3rd grader, but a 5th grader, k? . . .Whatever makes you squirt!

I bet it depends on how [b]long [/b]and [b]where [/b]you have looking.
If you're looking amongst Nigerian women, the ones that have it may not wear revealing clothes; but if you have actually been diligently searching amongst the [i]oyinbo [/i]black women (in Amerika etc) and you haven't seen any, then i rest my case

1,In the first place, it is called cellulitis , which means inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue( layer after the skin), usually cause by streptococcus species but occasionally by staph and other bacteria .

2, It does not have racial discrimination

3,Not related to ageing.

4, I believe what you wanted to say where things like: Striae, wrinkles, skin exfoliation, freckles, etc.

Of course black women get cellulite. It has to do with your diet and genes. Skinny women with no ounce of fat will eventually get it too. You obviously are not an ahewo If you have actually touched enough women you would have known that cellulite is a fact of life. I think people with a high vegetable and low dairy and meat diet will have less issues with cellulite

Let's get out this denial crap.

i dont know what talinda and that other person is on about. it is a fact that white people look older than their age, if not all then MOST. they even say so themselves. their complexions do not go well with age hence THEIR need for complexion enhancements such as skin tan lotion, sun block creams, bot0x, and so forth. ppl of different races use all of the mentioned methods but only to copy and we all know "monkey see monkey do". why else would the advertisements for them all feature whites? lets use common sense and stop getting ridiculously over sensitive.

cellulite occurs when it comes to all women AND men from all walks of life however it is most noticeable on lighter complexions again FACT.

What's this doing in the health section?

Stop being racist!!!

WW are the best in the world!

They have no blemishes usually and are not susceptible to being fat.

My broda, that is why sometimes, I hardly respond to (most) girls. They'r just something else.

It appears that cellulite is observable in women of all races. Studies involving women from China, South Africa, Egypt, Brazil, United States, Canada, Mexico, Afghanistan, Russia, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia all report cellulite in women.

Black women do have cellulite. I started developing cellulite when I was pregnant. It's still there,but has reduced. I think it has to do with skin type. Some black women don't have it.

I tort na only stretch-marks africans dey get?

Cellulite Hehehehe

^^^^^no woman is immune to cellulite

the type of cellulite black women have is hard and looks better

even if she is fat, she still looks in one piece if you see what i mean

tight fat
