5 Steps: DIY Anti Cellulite Formula

elle-01-diy-coffee-scrub-blog-lgnWith summer comes swimsuit season and the thoughts of hiding those little dimples that almost everyone has somewhere!

Even super models have a little cellulite!

But never fear- you can smooth it out with some simple ingredients most of us will have in our kitchen.

You’ll need:

  • Approx 220g of coffee granules
  • 6 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp sea salt/sugar
  • A jar
  • A dry brush

How they work:

Coffee: The caffeine in the coffee has been proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite over time. It tightens the skin and it’s rich in anti oxidants .

Coconut oil: Anyone who is a fan of coconut oil, will know it’s the ultimate moisturiser and that can’t hurt!

Salt or sugar: Sea salt or sugar granules provide another exfoliating hit.

Dry brush: Massaging your skin with a dry brush stimulates blood flow and encourages smoother, firmer skin.

Before getting into the shower, brush the areas of cellulite lightly with a dry brush, using a circular motion, to stimulate blood flow and get the best out of your scrub.

Jump into the shower and apply your DIY scrub to the areas with cellulite. Massage in a circular motion and rinse off. Continue to use the formula each time you shower to reap the benefits.

Will you give this a go?
