If you are tired of spending money on cellulite treatments; and you have probably figured out that the ‘magic’ common ingredient in all these potions is the caffeine, try this recipe for breaking up fat pockets.
2 cups finely ground organic coffee
½ cup organic sugar
3 T. grapeseed oil
1 T. SkinAgain pHo-tone
Mix ingredients. During a hot shower, apply mixture to areas of cellulite using long, circular motions. Shower off. Apply SkinAgain pHo-tone after showering. Use this at-home treatment three times per week. According to spa therapists, massaging coffee grounds into the skin can combat cellulite by breaking up fat pockets below the skin’s surface. As the grounds exfoliate, caffeine tightens the skin to give it a smoother appearance. And always:
• Stay hydrated
• Exercise (no-brainer)
• Minimize sun exposure
(Cellulite really is a skin problem that involves fat. The dermis is the middle layer of skin and is separated from the underlying fat with connective bands of fibrous tissue made of collagen and elastin. When these connective bands weaken, little sacks of fat are able to slip through the holes in the fibrous tissue and push up against the epidermis. This is cellulite.)
