If you have cellulite, welcome to the club. Over 80 percent of
women have this lumpy, bumpy skin. I've seen it on women of all
sizes and shapes. What's the good news on such a nasty subject?
There are natural and effective ways to diminish its
appearance.
Caffeine is the first ingredient in most cellulite treatments. The
same way caffeine gets us moving in the morning, it can also help
to get our fat cells moving. So head to your coffee makers, girls,
and go for the high octane stuff.
Do what famous models do ritualistically, and what beauty
contestants to before that big swimsuit walk. Line your bathroom
floor with newspapers, and then sit on the edge of your bathtub
with used coffee grounds. Make sure that the coffee grounds are
still warm, but comfortable, to the touch. If they've cooled down,
simply heat them briefly in the microwave.
Rub them into the cellulite-laden areas of your legs using your
hands or a loofah mitt. Although the grounds will pretty much hit
the newspaper quickly, a residue will remain. Ideally, seaweed
should be wrapped around the area to detoxify. If you are unable to
find lengths of seaweed at your health food store or natural
supermarket, use plastic wrap. Wrap completely around the upper leg
and let set for a few minutes.
To intensify the treatment, take an old-fashioned rolling pin and
roll the area to further smooth out the cellulite. Unwrap, brush
the remaining grounds onto the newspaper, and rinse
thoroughly.
For top results, you should do this treatment at least twice a
week.
