Cellulater!

Say goodbye to cellulite with this home made cellulite scrub.

Not only does it reduce cellulite (with regular use) it smells like someone bottle heaven.

This wonderful scrub only contains 4 ingredients! :)

Why it works:-

The secret ingredient is the coffee. Caffeine is effective in promoting circulation and fighting cellulite, this is why it's regularly found in spa treatments.

Ingredients:-

1/4 cup sugar/sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coffee granules (Mmmmm) 

Method:-



  • Mix together the brown sugar, the coffee granules/fresh ground coffee and salt or sugar (depending on personal preference).
  • Add the Olive oil and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are combined.
  • Place in a clean jar and fasten tightly, to preserve the life of your mixture for as long as possible,


How to use it:-

  • When your in the shower massage well in a circular motion on the parts of your body you want to reduce the cellulite on.
Things to know about cellulite:-



  • Cellulite is super common, in all people, regardless off shape, size or body type.
  • Avoiding "fatty foods" reduces cellulite.
  • Cellulite forms when fat cells beneath the skin enlarge, restricting the blood flow and circulation, thus causing fluid buildup that enlarges the fat cells. Causing a bumpy lumpy appearance under the skin. I know, no one wants it, yuck cellulite.
  • Using this caffeine scrub twice a week will help visibly smooth out your cellulite.


  • Caffeine reduces redness of the skin. It also firms and tightens surface of your skin through constriction, that is why it reduces the appearance of cellulite.
  • Another effective way to treat or prevent cellulite is to dry brush your skin.  Use a soft bristled brush and gently press on your skin in circular motion.
  • Take a hard look at the ingredients in the soaps, body washes and moisturisers you use daily. Do you know what each ingredient is?  Avoid toxins that can be found in most commercial skincare products.  Toxins encourage water retention and the result is cellulite, uneven bumpy skin that can be found on our bottoms, hips and thighs.
  • Daily exercise also prevents cellulite from ever forming, get up and start moving.
  • Drink a lot of water, daily.  It does wonders for clearing your skin, naturally flushing toxins from your body, hydrating and giving you a natural glow.
