Cellulite is fat deposits that look dimpled on your buttocks, hips, thighs and sometimes the upper arms and knees. Cellulite may be caused by lack of elasticity in the skin from damage to the dermis and epidermis. There are natural home remedies that can easily be used to improve cellulite.
Coffee
Many products for cellulite contain caffeine. Caffeine causes fat cells to burn their own fat deposits which results in the reduction of cellulite. You can use caffeinated coffee as a home remedy to treat cellulite. Take some instant coffee into a warm shower. Rub the coffee grounds on your cellulite with circular motions and then rinse. You can also combine coffee grounds with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Massage the paste anywhere you have cellulite. Make sure you rinse if off thoroughly.
Toxins
Toxins from processed foods, chemicals, the environment and smoking can build up around fat cells in your body and cause cellulite. This can be treated by detoxifying your cells a few times a year. It's best to choose a type of detox program that cleans out your digestive, circulatory and lymphatic systems, which can start you on the road to eliminating your cellulite. Drink lots of water to get the toxins out of your body faster. Detoxing won't completely get rid of your cellulite but it will improve it.
Exercise
Exercise is a home remedy that may improve cellulite. It increases blood flow or blood circulation so cellulite won't build up as much. You'll need an exercise routine that targets the main areas where cellulite usually appears and turns fat pockets into muscle. It's recommended to use light weights because strength training causes your body to burn fat. Squats are an excellent exercise for cellulite on the buttocks. Side lunges, front lunges and walking lunges can work the upper thighs, buttocks and other muscles in your legs.
