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.
