Remedies for cellulite
Exfoliating through dry brushing
Dry brushing is one of the methods that many people recommend for the reduction of cellulite. The idea behind it is that daily body brushing, in circular motions, both exfoliates the skin to smooth the surface and boosts circulation to help eliminate toxins. Dry massaging with a brush helps stimulate blood and lymph flow, which in result improves the skin appearance reducing the cellulite. But be aware this method should be avoided if you have dry or inflamed skin.
Coffee scrub
Coffee scrubs can be beneficial in reducing cellulite as well. Not only does coffee scrub work as a great exfoliator, but it can also increase the blood/lymph flow in areas where excess cellulite is present. When you massage the area of the skin that has cellulite with a body scrub, you remove dead skin cells and pollutants from the skin surface, enabling the active components of the scrub to penetrate into deeper skin layers.
Coffee helps reduce the appearance of cellulite in three ways.
- It helps tighten it by removing excess water from the skin, visibly reducing cellulite dimples.
- It dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow, helping to combat fluid retention and cellulite formation.
- It has antioxidant properties which help fight free radicals and keep the skin smoother and plumper.
