Make your own coffee & olive oil anti cellulite shower scrub

I already wrote to you about coffee and sugar anti cellulite scrub and about coffee anti cellulite lotion. This time, you can also try coffee & olive oil scrub.

Ingredients:

• coffee grounds
• olive oil (or sesame or apricot oil) - 1 to 2 tablespoons
• dash of salt
• dash of cayenne pepper
• several dashes of cinnamon
• honey - 1 tablespoon
  

Steps:

• mix all the ingredients together
• rub into your skin
• wash away
  

The caffeine in coffee tightens the skin and boosts circulation, the grounds physically promote circulation to the region. Cinnamon and cayenne draw blood to the surface promoting circulation to the skin, the honey disinfects and the oil naturally moisturizes, rejuvenates and keeps the skin supple, mostly because of its great ingredient- vitamin E.

Make your own coffee anti cellulite lotion

Besides making coffee and sugar scrub, you may try also making a coffee lotion for cellulite reduction.

Ingredients:

• caffeinated coffee
• ordinary lotion

Steps:

• grind the coffee into dust
• mix coffee and lotion
• rub the coffee lotion into your thighs and other problem areas for a while; few minutes would do
• shower the lotion off

This should help you in your cellulite battle. Your skin will become firm and smooth.

Make your own sea salt anti cellulite peeling

Sea salt is very useful for your skin care and cellulite prevention and reduction - it contains many minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, iodine, iron.

Ingredients:

• Salt - crystal, non-refined salt
• Oil - it is best to use olive oil

Note:

• Simple kitchen salt will not do, as it is pure sodium chloride whose molecules strongly attract water from body cells, and thus slows their vital functions. Crystal salt, besides sodium chloride consists of trace elements, minerals, vitamins and amino acids that are good for your skin because they help matter exchange in skin and under skin.
• Don't use vegetable oils (sunflower, soy...).

Use:
Use sea salt and oil peeling in a 100°F bath (38°C).

Sea salt and oil peeling benefits detoxification of body. It prompts metabolism, extraction of toxins, and eliminates excess water from the skin and connecting tissue, helps removing cellulite and has anti aging effect.
Sea salt acts on the principle of osmosis which is important for matter exchange in cells. cell liquid transfers from one cell to another, depending on which cell has greater salt concentration. Tissue is trying to achieve the equilibrium, and with water it extracts toxins also, and keeps minerals and other useful ingredients from the salt.

After this bath, you'll feel relaxed, rested. It will stimulate your blood and lymph circulation. All those effects are extremely positive for cellulite reduction.

Make your own Sugar & Coffee anti cellulite scrub

Sugar & Coffee Anti Cellulite Scrub Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sugar (brown or granulated work well)
• 1/2 cup table salt
• 1/2 cup rough sea salt
• 1 cup coffee granules that have been soaked in hot water (the used ones from your coffee percolator work well)
• Olive, almond or avocado oil (any high quality fruit, not vegetable, oil)

  

Steps

1. In an air-tight jar, mix together the sugar, the salts and the coffee granules.
2. Add in the oil to give it a squishy texture.
3. Rub all over skin in shower, rinse off. It is quite oily, so don't be alarmed.
4. Pat skin dry with a towel and get into your nightclothes.
5. Wake up to deeply nourished, babysoft, smooth skin.

Tips

• This works particularly well in night-time showers, as the oils will sink into the skin overnight, deeply moisturizing it! (Ratios do not really matter, feel free to make variations, this is just a rough guide.)

• Some people say the coffee (or rather, the caffeine in the coffee) could make this work as an anti-cellulite scrub when used at least twice weekly. For higher anti-cellulite and skin-nourishing, leave it on for 10 minutes on your thighs, while your thighs are wrapped in gladwrap. Can be messy, but results are well worth it!

• You can also use the coffee grounds on their own with a little bit of olive oil added. Just make sure you rub them into your cellulite prone areas, in circular motion.

• Do not use this on your face.

• Be realistic in your expectations as to what this or any other external cream can do for cellulite. While the appearance of cellulite may improve by using it, to truly eliminate cellulite you may wish to speak to your doctor.

Make your own anti cellulite lotion

Cellulite Lotion Essential Oil Recipe

Geranium and fennel with will help balance your hormones and are traditionally used to facilitate weight loss.
Cypress and juniper will help stimulate your circulation and ease fluid retention.

1. Add 5 drops each of cypress, geranium, grapefruit, bergamot oils and 2 drops each of juniper and fennel to 2 ounces unscented lotion.
   
2. Mix with ordinary body lotion.
   
3. Rub lotion directly on cellulite areas once a day.

The concentration of the resulting lotion is too strong to use as a total massage, just apply to cellulite areas. The cellulite lotion recipe doesn't smell very good.
