Cellulite & Coffee Grounds
Looking for a way to reduce your cellulite? The method of using coffee grounds to remove or reduce your cellulite has been around for awhile. Many women claim success from doing this well known home remedy.
The reason why people gravitate to using coffee grounds to reduce cellulite is the active ingredient in many if not most anti-cellulite creams. The anti-cellulite creams work in a way to smooth and firm your skin to the point that it diminishes the unsightly cellulite. The rational school of thought believes that directly applying coffee grounds could have the same topical effect on the skin.
Using another school of thought, coffee grounds can also be used an exfoliant. The coarse nature of the substance helps to agitate and arouse the skin cells. It will also remove the dead skin and reduce the size of your pores. The use of coffee grounds on your skin will also firm and tone your skin.
Home Remedy: Use Coffee Grounds to Remove Cellulite
Those expensive cellulite creams have one ingredient in common: caffeine! You can make your own cellulite treatment with caffeinated coffee grounds that works beautifully. Here’s how:
The used grounds work better if they’re warm. So its best to warm the coffee grounds in the microwave. * Make sure they are not too hot as you do not want to scorch your skin.
- Put some newspaper on the floor of your bathroom.
- Mix about a quarter-cup of warm used coffee grounds with a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Stand on the paper and apply the coffee mixture to your cellulite areas using your hands or a loofah mitt. Don’t worry if a lot of the coffee mixture falls to the floor; enough will stick to your skin to do the trick.
- Wrap the area in plastic wrap and allow to remain on for several minutes.
- Remove wrap and brush off excess coffee mixture. Shower with warm water.
- This procedure is most effective when repeated twice a week.
Sounds logical and not as expensive as the body wraps. I’ll try it and let you know how it works.
I REALLY HOPE IT WORKS BEACUSE IM ONLY 22 WITH ALOT OF CELLULITE ON MY LEGS FROM BEEN TO MUCH OVERWEIGHT IN MY YOUNG TEEN YEARS AND FROM HAVE A CHILD. I KNOW ITS NOT CAUSED BY EXCESS WEIGHT BUT AN UNHEALTHY DIET DOES CAUSE IT. SO I NEED A CURE OR A REDUCE OF THEM. FAST AND CHEAP!
Actually I looked this up because Demi Moore swears by it. Of course I also swear that a 50 y/o woman cannot look as good as she does with out surgery but she does swear by this method. I will try it and see what happens
I have been using this treatment for cellulite and I have to say it works!!! It truly works!!! Well I didn’t have that much cellulite before but now I have no apperance of anything. Just keep on a good life style and on this treatment….i also recomend this site “Skin care recipes and remedies”
im gonna try this, im only a teen and i really need something that will work for me…
I work at at spa and we do coffee wrap. Rubbing coffee grounds into your problem areas and wrapping you in plastic for 10 minutes. It WORKS!!
Do they have to be used coffee grounds?
aww i dont have coffee right now… (i have to go shopping!) but i wonder if black tea grounds will work. Like the lipton tea bags broken up and the grounds collected… hmmmmm?
I’m going crazy with this Cellulite problem that I have. exercise work just to tone my legs, but not to get rid off those lumpy spots! I would like to try the coffee wrap and see how it works.can anyone suggest me what kind of coffee should I use?
I tried the remedy this morning and I swear my legs look 50% better!! Gonna do it several times a week. I am wearing shorts today I feel so confident, haven’t worn shorts in over 15 years!!
I have tried so many different things, form expensive creams and just recently a very expensive body wrap. Was skeptical to try this when I heard about this, but OMG, huge difference in just one treatment! The best part is, I now have a use for the coffee grounds I throw away every day!!
Im 21 and actually pretty happy with my body except one part….my thighs. ever since i was very young ive had that problem even though im slim. so im really looking forward to this procedure. im about to do it right now….ill let you guys know how it goes. yay im excited!!!
I tried this tonight for the first time… I am 26 5’3 116lb. I am not over weight by any means, but I do have a small amount of cellulite that started about 2 yrs ago. I workout which improves my shape and tone, but does not diminish the cellulite.. The results from this treatment were subtle, yet noticeable. I plan to reapply for the next few days to see if it continues to improve. Fingers crossed the results continue!!
Does anyone know how many treatments of this are needed before you see results? I tried it the other night and didn’t notice a difference but the skin in my thighs was super smooth…WOWEEEEE! So I was wondering if this is something you need to repeat over several days before results are seen or do they happen right away if you keep the coffee on a long time.
believe me, I;ve tried so many creams to remove cellulite that actually i’ve got nothing to lose to try this one! hope it does work and ladies i’ll tell you how it’s worked out
Did Demi Moore happened to mention how much she had to pay her maid to clean the mess?. BLOODY FREAKING HELL!…….. LMAO. It did seem to work a bit but I am not sure if it was the coffee wraps or the workout I got cleaning the bathroom afterward. Also, be careful where the coffee grinds end up when you start washing. LOL. I think I will stick to Nivea Anti cellulite cream
Most of the reviews sound great. I had 2 kids and gained 200lbs, luckily i lost a lot of weight with diet, but unfortunately i have so much cellulites that makes me feel so embarrass and brings myself esteem down, but hopefully this treatment with the coffee works. I can’t wait to start, just need to buy the supplies. If it works i promise to comment on this treatment, hopefully in two weeks.
I tried this today, and I seriously think my thighs look way better after just one treatment!!! It was a messy job, but since it’s hot outside, I just went out into the garage in my swimsuit and started smearing it on and wrapping in plastic wrap. Then I just wrapped a beach towel around my bottom half and sat out on the patio sipping on a beverage while it all soaked in. After 20 minutes, I got the hose out and hosed off my legs and the garage floor. Not only did I think they looked smoother, but the olive oil and exfoliation made my skin super soft!! I don’t have time after work to do this very frequently, but I will definitely add it to my weekend routine!
what if you do this everyday? will it speed up results? and also, how long until cellulite is gone?
Well it won’t eliminate cellulite, but it can really reduce the overall look.
It wasn’t completely clear as to use used or fresh grounds with the olive oil. Wouldn’t it be more potent using fresh grounds with the olive oil, warm it up a bit in the microwave then apply? Just looking for the most effective procedure.
iam am going to try this. i can,t believe how bad it looks. wish me luck.
I really hope this works. I will try this tomorrow morning, FIRST THING! I hope it works…I have Medium Cellulite on my stomach from pregnancy….I really hope it works, I am tired of looking at myself in the mirror and saying eww to myself lol it’s true though, I will log on tomorrow morning and leave a comment of my results, PROMISE!
It did not work! I used USED coffee grounds, WARM! rubbed it on my cellulite and wrap it with trasparent wrap! left it on for 25 min….DId not show results!….I think it made it worse hahaahaha
I used water instead of the olive oil because i didn’t have olive oil aqt teh time , will that worrk ?
I tried this today because it sounded like a good remedy and I wanted to see for myself what it was like. It was a bit messy, I figured out the easiest way for me was to stand in the bath tub and smear the mixture on me then wrap it tight it seran wrap. I did my thighs, butt and stomach. I didn’t plan on it but I had enough so I figured what the heck. It only took 3 keurig brew cups to accomplish this. I then relaxed in my bath tub for 20 minutes and let the caffeine go to work. I felt this was the least messy way. Coffee grounds will eventually disintegrate so I didn’t think twice about rinsing down the drain. After a few hours I believe I could see an improvement. I don’t have a lot of cellulite but I notice it less now. Amazing!!! Im doing it again tomorrow and Saturday to prepare for a party im wearing a very short dress to. Hopefully this will make me feel more confident. Oh and not to mention the Olive oil is such a fantastic moisturizer, it left me feeling silky smooth all day!!!
Mix about a quarter-cup of warm used coffee grounds with a tablespoon or so of olive oil. i din’t get it pls anybody tell me how can i get “warm used coffee grounds”? can i add olive oil to coffee powder and apply it directly? or do i have to add some warm olive oil to coffee powder? pls anybody guide me.

Mix coffee grounds with olive oil or coco butter and rub over body. Stand in bath or shower to apply – saves mess. Wrap in clingfilm. I slip joggers on and rinse after 20 mins.
Another olive oil tip – rub olive oil and granulated sugar into hands for a few minutes, then rinse. Makes hands lovely,soft and smooth.

For soft hands – olive oil and granulated sugar into hands for few minutes and rinse. Makes for lovely soft hands.
Work for me, I take the coffee ground to the shower and scrub the area with my hand in circular motion, not only I see results with celulite also with firm and tone skin.
