Cellulite Treatment

Don’t discard your used coffee grinds as they can be an effective cellulite treatment.

For women with ugly cellulite, the quest for the best and quickest way to get rid of cellulite is a top priority. No matter what their age, race, or weight, a high majority of women (around 85%) have cellulite and are actively seeking ways to get rid of it since it’s ugly and unpleasant in appearance, often compared to “cottage cheese skin” or “orange peel skin” because of the ripples and dimples in their skin on their legs, thighs, buttocks, and stomach.

While there are a myriad of cellulite reduction creams and therapies and even surgery, many women are looking for a natural remedy. A method of using used coffee grinds for cellulite treatment is something many women are turning to now. It’s becoming more popular, it’s easy, it’s convenient, it can be done right in your own home, and it’s inexpensive!

So how can used coffee grinds be an effective cellulite treatment?

Your body needs plenty of water to keep your cells healthy and hydrated. But if you are lacking in sufficient fluids, your body will retain fats and toxins. If the layer of skin just below the outer layer becomes damaged and weakened, the skin loses its strength and the fat cells below the skin are able to rise up to the skin layer. The result is the dimpled cellulite you hate so much. The most fat in a woman’s body is in the thighs, hips, butt, and stomach, so those become the problem areas where cellulite develops.

Used coffee grinds as a home cellulite treatment works this way. You can mix the used coffee grinds and body lotion and then rub that mixture on the parts of your body that have the cellulite. The theory is that the coffee increases the blood flow to those areas. Rubbing increases the circulation and this helps to break down the fat cells that have “escaped” to the area just under the skin. Breaking down those fat cells means breaking down, and thus reducing or eliminating, the cellulite.

You should apply the coffee grinds/lotion mixture on the affected areas, rub it vigorously for a few minutes, and then leave the coffee cream on for about 30 minutes. Relax during this waiting process, then wash the cream off with water. You need to drink plenty of water afterwards as well so you’re hydrated enough to help flush away the toxins and broken up fat cells.

There are many women who have tried this method and swear by it having noticed real measurable reduction in their cellulite. It’s so easy to do and it uses ingredients you already have (especially if you’re a coffee drinker). Try this method every day. Allow some time (again, about 30 minutes) before your daily shower or bath. Once you have applied the coffee/lotion mixture and waited, you can step in to the shower to rinse it off.

So give it a try. Sure it may not work, but the good news is that no harm is done! Plus, it’s easy, effective, and inexpensive too. On the other hand, you may just find that using used coffee grinds for cellulite treatment as described above is the very thing you’ve been looking for to get rid of cellulite.
