Coffee Scrub for Cellulite

Cellulite affects about 80–90 percent of all women.  Although extremely common, one of the top internet searches revolves around how to reduce cellulite. Thanks to current research, we now understand that cellulite is a complex issue, involving numerous causes and requiring well-rounded treatment and management.

So, what causes cellulite?

Not only is cellulite caused by subcutaneous fat bulging into the top layer of the skin, but it is also a result of decreased blood flow to the area, which reduces collagen production, as well as decreased lymphatic drainage (often caused by restrictive clothing). Age, genetics, gender, ethnicity, diet, activity level and altered dermal matrix also contribute to cellulite. According to research, there are three treatable components of cellulite:

1. You have to address the collagen;
2. you have to reduce the fat,
3. You have to increase circulation.

There are home remedies for cellulite that work well in combination with a healthy diet and exercise, such as coffee scrubs, dry brushing (to increase lymphatic drainage) or coffee cellulite wraps. 

Let’s take a look at how to use a coffee scrub to help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

After washing in the shower, massage coffee scrub into areas where cellulite is likely to be found (buttocks and thighs) as well as into any visible areas of cellulite. Massage as vigorously as tolerated, taking care to protect sensitive skin. You do not want to break skin or cause bleeding. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Because coffee scrubs are exfoliating, you will want to finish with a high-quality moisturizer, like our anti stretchmarks butter or rosehip tissue oil.

Some temporary redness to the scrubbed areas is normal. If any discomfort or irritation persists, try rubbing less intensely.
