Here we take a look at some of the most popular home remedies to eliminate the unsightly look of cellulite on the skin.

Healthy Diet
OK, so it would be a rare day when we would not suggest a healthy diet and exercise. Since cellulite is build-up of fatty deposits, then eating a more balanced diet, rich in fat mobility foods. This means you should be consuming omega 3s, avocadoes and oatmeal as part of a regular and balanced diet, as all of these foods can be effective in redistributing fat cells and smoothing the appearance of cellulite.
How does it work?
By prompting a good circulation within the body, the combination of eating healthy foods and stimulating blood flow and therefore cell bonding by exercise it’s the number one most effective way to remove cellulite for good. Over time, and with some patience, these problem areas will smoothen over and become more supple skin.
Still, if you are looking for a quicker fix, then give any one of these three a go:
Coffee Grounds
Caffeine is frequently used as a stimulant, which is why it is particularly effective in the treatment of cellulites. Whether used internally to promote healthy system flow, or applied topically, coffee boosts energy. Its application increases blood flow, removes unwanted fluid in the skin cells, and decrease fat.
How does it work?
Caffeine actually causes the size of blood vessels to increase. This promotes blood flow. It also speeds up the metabolism, so when ingested internally, it helps lose unwanted fats, which are the deposits causing cellulite. A popular poultice is to mix up used coffee grounds with olive oil and wrap it around the areas with cellulite, hoping it will promote blood flow and stimulate fat mobility.
Cellulite Massage
Cellulite massage can yield impressive results in a short time frame when looking to reduce the physical appearance of cellulite. Have you experienced deep-tissue massage? This is the same type of massage – known as endermologie – which can be effective in cellulite removal. Whilst it does not affect connective tissues or underlying fat cells, what is does is to increase circulation; removing unhealthy white blood cells.
How does it work?
Endermologie is a deep tissue massage, conducted using a small hand-held, electric machine to massage and knead the skin. This turbulent effect is basically promoting blood flow and lymph stimulation. The tool usually has some special rollers to glide easily over the skin, ensuring you don’t pinch it. Sometimes a light is inside, which accelerates the stimulation. Some massage tools and techniques use suction cups to puff up the skin. Often you will encounter massage therapy at spas. It can be expensive and is more realistically a mask, which temporarily plumps the top layer of skin and hides the mottled effect of real cellulite.
Dry brushing
Another technique, similar to those described above, dry brushing feels great and helps promote effective blood and lymph flow within the body. When carrying this out, you should only brush towards the heart because this stimulates the blood flow in the right direction. Use a combination of long and short sweeps and scrubbing in circular motions. Begin at the bottom: with feet, and move up the legs on both sides. After this, work brushing lightly from the arms toward your chest. When it comes to your tummy, brush counter clockwise.
How does it work?
Skin will be stimulated and invigorated, but be careful not to brush too hard, or it could be irritated and red. Basically, brushing stimulates tighter skin, cell renewal and blood flow, which helps the lymphatic system to release toxins. Dry skin brushing effectively opens up the pores on your skin.
