CELLULITE COFFEE SCRUB - Fit & Fabulous Friday

What The Heck is Cellulite and Why Do We Get It?

Simply put, cellulite is a build up of fat within the deeper layers of our skin (or our dermis) that is held in place by various connective tissue fibres.

Cellulite becomes more noticeable when these fibres push down on the fatty tissue, restricting blood flow, causing fluid backup, and enlarging the fat cells that give us that dimply, cottage cheese look we all loathe.

What’s more is that our bodies love to store these fatty tissues in our legs and our butts…basically the last place we want it to be stored.

Add to that the toxins in your body that intensify the look, and the fact that women are really the only ones who have to deal with this issue, and you have yourself a damn good reason to get rid of it, like yesterday!

Sure, diet and exercise are crucial elements that you need to incorporate into your anti-cellulite efforts, but you can also add a quick DIY scrub that helps to break up the concentration of fatty tissue deposits and give your skin a more smooth appearance.

How To Get Rid of Cellulite Fast and Naturally and Get a Fake Tan in the same time!

The perfect 2 in 1 DIY Beauty Tip!

It is not always safe to expose yourself out under the Sun. So here is just how you can create a fake Tan with some Sugar, coffee Ground and Olive oil.

• Shower and exfoliate. We often forget this part, but trust me, it’s important.

• Rinse & dry off.

• Dab a tiny bit of moisturizer on my knees and elbows since they suck up the tanner the most.

• Rub the tanning lotion on my legs and then work my way up to stomach, arms, and face.

• Go back over everything with a small amount of lotion to make sure I haven’t missed any parts.

• Wash my hands with soap and water.

• Hang out in my bedroom naked, reading magazines, for about 5 minutes.

One thing that really seals the deal for me with DIYs is their level of ease….and how much it costs to make ‘em…okay so two things.

Not only is this treatment easy to make but you can find all of the ingredients at your local grocery store, if you don’t already have them lying around the kitchen.

All you need is:

• 1/2 cup of ground Coffee

• 1 tablespoon of white Sugar

• 2-3 tablespoons of Olive Oil

Because the amount of toxins in your body plays a part in how severe your cellulite looks, you need the caffeine and antioxidants found in Coffee to get rid of the free radicals, stimulate blood flow, and improve circulation.

Ultimately this helps to smooth out the build up of fatty tissue while also firming and tightening the skin.

Sugar, on the other hand, acts as an additional exfoliant that will open and clear out your pores, allowing them to absorb the ingredients more easily.

Finally, the Olive Oil helps to restore moisture to your skin and keep it hydrated as the caffeine content may cause slight dehydration.

Once you have your ingredients rounded up, the process is simple:

• have a hot shower to help open up your pores

• combine all your ingredients in a medium-size bowl

• stir your mixture until evenly combined

• using your hands, apply your scrub only to the areas you have cellulite

• scrub your skin as hard as you can for 5 minutes and do not rinse off

• using plastic wrap (or saran wrap), wrap the areas you have applied your scrub

• leave those parts wrapped up for 10 minutes

• after your 10 minutes are up, remove the plastic wrap and rinse off but do not use soap

• apply your favourite moisturizer

After the redness on your skin calms down you should notice those areas looking smoother and eventually your dimples should start to fade away but remember, a healthy diet and regular exercise has to become a part of your lifestyle if you really want that cellulite to stay away!

Of course, if you would rather buy than DIY then check out my favourite anti-cellulite cream that works a treat and will help you get rid of that cottage cheese look for good. It's called Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Butter which firms and Tones the skin.

You can buy it for less than 500 Baht in Tesco, Watsons and Boots Stores.
