Foods That Reduce Cellulite

Cellulite does not have to be one of the things in life you just learn to accept, unlike those unique individuals attempting to converse with you in the locker room before getting dressed. There happens to be a simple food solution that will help.

Cellulite

We all have fat, both subcutaneous (underneath our skin) and visceral (internally). Cellulite is actually a description of the topographic skin change caused by the hernia of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue. This lends to the orange peel-like appearance. Certain factors such as our metabolism, physiology, genetic make up and even stress level can contribute to the degree of cellulite. Around 80 to 90 percent of post-pubertal females are affected by cellulite.
Coffee, sugar, olive oil and rosemary essential oil all help with cellulite. Make an inexpensive, strong coffee scrub that will have your arms and legs looking great, while saving hundreds of dollars on long treatments.

Coffee Scrub

Use a half-tablespoon of the rosemary oil to mix with three tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix 1 part sugar with three parts coffee, then mix the rosemary infused olive oil with that to make a paste. Keep this refrigerated until its time to use it.
Rub the scrub onto desired areas at least twice weekly. Leave this on for about 30 minutes before its time to shower. You may choose to use clear Reynolds Wrap to cover the areas in order not to get any on your robe. Rinse the scrub off while in the shower.

Function

The caffeine in the coffee helps to flush out the toxins and break down fats underneath the skin by increasing circulation. The rubbing motion also facilitates this. The sugar exfoliates the skin, while the oils increase skin circulation and serve as an emollient, minimizing the cellulite appearance. Drinking plenty of water will help flush away the broken down toxins. (Drinking too much coffee can actually contribute to cellulite because it's a diuretic and will dehydrate you, increasing the toxins and fat storage.)
Always keep in mind what causes the cellulite. Use this simple treatment with the guidance of a good diet and regular exercise, and watch your skin begin smoothing before your eyes.
