A year ago, I published a post discussing cellulite and 6 natural ways to minimize it. (If you haven't read it, I'll leave a link to that post here.) On one of the topics, I mentioned that coffee can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. I recommended making a coffee body scrub for a reason. This recipe is effective, natural, and only has three main ingredients.

COFFEE: The caffeine in coffee can help treat cellulite and lessen its appearance. Massaging coffee grounds on the affected area can improve blood flow, circulation, tighten and plump the skin. 

COCONUT OIL: Coconut oil contains collagen-boosting properties that can naturally improve the look of cellulite. It could help nourish, firm, tighten, and smooth the skin.

BROWN SUGAR: Brown sugar is a natural ingredient used in many homemade body scrubs to exfoliate. It's gentle on the skin, removes dead skin cells, moisturizes, and softens the skin.

 INGREDIENTS:

• 3 tbsp ground coffee 
• 5 tbsp of brown sugar
• 3 tbsp of fractionated coconut oil or olive oil
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Let's clear something up, cellulite is a natural thing. More than 80 percent of women have it regardless of what size they are, so we shouldn't be ashamed of it. However, there's nothing wrong with wanting to get rid of it. Personally for me ever since I can remember, I've always had cellulite on the back of my thighs, and now that I'm older, it got worse. To the point where it started to bother me, so I knew I needed to do something about it. After trying out numerous different methods and changing my diet. I finally minimized the appearance of my cellulite, and today, I wanted to share with you ladies how I did it.



WHAT IS CELLULITE?

Before I start talking about how to minimize your cellulite, let's talk about what it is. Cellulite is a skin condition that occurs when fat deposits beneath the skin. Cellulite is dimpled-looking skin that typically appears in the butt, thighs, and hip region. The exact cause of cellulite is unknown, but women are more likely to develop cellulite than men due to the difference in fat cells, muscle, and connective tissue. Regardless of your age or weight, anyone can have cellulite.



HOW TO GET RID OF CELLULITE.

1.) EXERCISING.

One of the most effective ways (I've found) to fight against cellulite is by exercising to burn unwanted fat. Toning your body and strengthening your muscles will help to minimize the appearance of cellulite. Some exercises you might want to try are squats, lunges, leg lifts, or any kind of cardio to burn fight. Weight lifting is another great option that I recommend you incorporate into your exercising routine.



2.) STAYING HYDRATED.


Another natural and extremely inexpensive way of getting rid of cellulite is by drinking lots of liquid. Dehydration can cause thinner and weaker skin, thus making cellulite more visible. Make sure to consume at least 8-10 cups of water daily to stay hydrated and flush out any toxins from your body.


3.) CHANGE YOUR DIET.

Avoid foods that contain high amounts of sodium, because consuming too much salt can make you retain water, and make cellulite more visible. Avoid processed sugar, sugary drinks, alcohol, and junk food overall because it makes cellulite worse as it slows down collagen production, making the dimples on the skin look more noticeable.
